Sympathy don't travel by word of mouth between pardners. It's the grip of the hand or the look of the eye. "'What cause? says I. "He turned, and s'help me, I never want to see the like again. His face was plumb grey and dead, like wet ashes, while his eyes scorched through, all dry and hot. Lines was sinkin' into it as I looked.
They have got to manage wayward pardners, children and domestics who, no matter how good they are, will take their bits in their mouths, and go sideways some of the time, but can be managed by a sensible, affectionate hand, and with her other hand at the same time she can carry her principles aloft, wavin' in every domestic breeze, frigid or torrid, plain to be seen by everybody.
They's a man on our force reports all the accidentses an' I'll see him to-night, when I go for my papers, an' get him to hunt, too. He's worth while an' me an' him's sort o' pardners. I give him p'ints an' he 'lows I'll be a reporter myself, when I'm bigger. An' say, I sold a pape' to a man couldn't stop fer change an' I've got three cream-puffs in this bag.
But you lied when you said you'd shoot square, Eagen. I wouldn't trust you as far as you could throw a bull by the tail, an' there's half a dozen other reasons why you an' me couldn't be pardners!" Eagen stepped back with a snarl of rage. "I don't reckon you're entitled to what rep you've got!" he blurted hoarsely. "Right down under the skin, Rathburn, I believe you're soft!"
"If I'd tell you, you'd have the answer. But I'm not going to show it to nobody!" "Well, you don't need to think that I care!" she spoke up resentfully, "nobody asked you to show them your gold. And after what happened with the Willie Meena I wouldn't take your old mine for a gift." "You won't have to," he replied. "I've quit taking in pardners it's a lone hand for me, after this.
Jack got us boys pardners for every dance. He proved himself clean strain that night, the whitest little Injun on the reservation. We knocked off dancing about midnight and had supper, good coffee with no end of way-up fine chuck. We ate as we danced, heartily. Supper over, the dance went on full blast.
I want to go to sleep!" sez he, snappish as anything, so I went out and let him think if he wanted to, that I made the Springs, and the Minerals, and the Gysers, and the Spoutin' Rock, and everything. Good land! I knew I didn't; but I had to rest under the unkind insinnuation. Such is some of the trials of pardners. But Josiah waked up real clever.
"You'd better not," advised Ward harshly, "or I'll make hanging a relief to you. I know pretty well, right now, all you could tell. And if I wanted to send your pardners up, I wouldn't need your help. It's partly to give them a chance that I'm sending you out this way, myself. I don't call this murder, Buck.
This wuz in the children's room, and all the animals are reproduced life size, every one of 'em two and two, jest as they enter the Ark. We couldn't hardly tear our two pardners away, Selinda and I couldn't. Josiah said, "It wuz so beautiful and interestin'," and so Bizer said.
As I went down with lightnin' speed I hadn't time to think much, but I ricollect this thought come into my harassed brain: Be pardners worth all the trouble I'm havin' and the dretful experiences I'm goin' through?
