"Sorter looks that way, I reckon," said Cheyenne Charlie. "But, hello! Ther miners is quittin' work. Now we'll soon see how many of 'em knows us, as ther saloon man said they did." Sure enough, the miners were seen heading for the saloon. They came from different directions, for it was just six o'clock now, and they had quit work for the day.
We are going further west, out of the Indian territory, and Rube's going to buy a new farm near some city. Just fancy. What do you think of it?" For once Seth seemed taken aback. His usual imperturbable manner forsook him, and he stared at the girl in unfeigned astonishment. This was the last thing he had expected. "We're quittin' the farm?" he cried incredulously.
Before quittin' time that afternoon he's got it all fixed up. "Tomorrow night," says he, "Nicky understands that we're having a dinner party out at the house. Betty'll be there.

So, long before quittin' time, I slams the desk cover down and pikes out on Rowley's trail. He might be a dead duck; but I wanted to know how and why. I had his address all right, and it didn't take me long to locate him in a fifth-story loft down on lower Sixth-ave.
I'm quittin' in a coupla months. Hell! Me stay with this bunch!" The Charley Moores are always going to change jobs next month.

The world must be coming to an end. He remained at his work until supper time. During the meal he ate and said so little that his wife wondered and asked questions. To avoid answering them he hurried out.
I climbs out and looked her over. She sure was balky. I was glad she said somethin', if it was only 'Guzzuh, instead of quittin' on me silent and scornful. Sounded like she was apologizin' for stoppin' up like that. I felt of her chest and she was pretty much het up.
