Mounted sublime on an arm-chair lashed to the forepart of the pig-box, sat Timothy in state his legs well muffled in a noble scarlet-fringed buffalo skin, and his body encased in his livery top-coat the setters and the spaniels crouching most meekly at his feet, and the two noble bucks the fellow on whose steaks we had already made an inroad, having been left as fat Tom's portion securely corded down upon a pile of straw, with their sublime and antlered crests drooping all spiritless and humble over the backboard, toward the frozen soil which crashed and rattled under the ponderous hoofs of the magnificent roan horse Tom's special favorite which, though full seventeen hands high, and heavy in proportion; yet showing a good strain of blood, trotted away with his huge load at full ten miles an hour.
"Don't bother yourself about no wagon," interposed Tom, "but come you in and liquor, else we shall have you gruntin half the day; and if old roan and my long pig-box wont carry down the deer, why I'll stand treat."
"Why, what would you do," said I, "if you did know?" "Lick him, by George! Lick him, in the first place, till he was as nigh dead as I daared lick him and then I'd make him eat up every darned line of it! But come, come breakfast's ready; and while we're getting through with it, Timothy and Jem Lyn will fix the pig-box, and make the deer all right and tight for traveling!"
