He made all kinds of animals that travel on the ground. When he made the big-horn with its great horns, he put it out on the prairie.
Now run along, I've had enough emotions. But don't forget. Laura," he spoke thickly and with effort, turning his head away as he pushed her from him "yes, get out, I've had enough of you for the present but don't forget all the same that you're the one thing on earth that ever is real to me."
