"The first real trouble that meets up with Bowlaigs who's got to be a y'ar old by now since Jennie fights the dooel with him with that broom, overtakes him at the O.K. Restauraw.
One overtakes him, now and then, and catches him, as it were, off his guard, in little pathetic lapses into a curious simplicity a simplicity grave-eyed, portentious and solemn almost like that of some great Infant-Faun, trying very seriously to learn the difficult syllables of our human "Categorical Imperative"! World-child, as he was, the magic of the universe pouring through him, one sometimes feels a strange, dim hope with regard to that dubious general Issue, when we find him so confident about the presence of the mysterious Being he worshipped; and so transparently certain of his personal survival after Death!
Those fish which enter the rivers in the spring continue their ascent until death or the spawning season overtakes them. Probably none of them ever return to the ocean, and a large proportion fail to spawn. They are known to ascend the Sacramento as far as the base of Mount Shasta, or to its extreme head-waters, about four hundred miles.
Regardless of the foolish belief of the peoples of the outer world, or of Holy Thern, or ebon First Born, I am not dead.

It keeps things lively and announces the world's progress with unerring certainty," she retorted, and with this good-natured sally they rose from the table. The evening was spent in a mixture of small talk and earnestness, and before they departed Mrs. Hayden received her first treatment. "Like an Æolian harp, that wakes No certain air, but overtakes Far thought with music that it makes,
It is so free from that fretful haste, that vehement striving, that is every day becoming more and more the bane of nineteenth-century life.

If another boat overtakes him and passes him it does not annoy him; as a matter of fact, they all do overtake him and pass him all those that are going his way.
An' yet, when the public picks Curly off the floor, he's pulled his two guns, an' has got one cocked. Now what do you all deem of that for the workin' of a left-over impulse when a gent is dead? "But, as I remarks yeretofore, Curly Ben is the most ornery person I ever overtakes, an' the feelin's of the camp is in nowise laid waste when Moon adds him to the list that time in the Red Light bar.
And all this time the family are near, so very near to the underworld. The death of Jones, half-timer as he is, would plunge them into it; and the breakdown or death of Mrs. Jones would plunge them deeper still. What an exciting and anxious life it really is! Small wonder that many descend to the underworld when accident overtakes them.
