Bridges' burly proportions. "You're going to miss your alfalfa bed before I get you to Linderman." The Kid nodded seriously. "I know," said he. "Serves me right for quittin' a profession for a trade, but I got to look over this Dawson place. They say it's soft pickin'. Lucky is taking his stock in trade along, all three of 'em, so maybe we'll tear off a penny or two on the way."
I used to soak up quite a bit of it myself till my doc gave me an option on dyin' of Bright's disease or quittin'." "Bright's disease!" exclaimed Hal. "Oh, yes, I know: we cure Bright's disease, don't we? Well, if there's anything worse for old George W. Bright's favorite ailment than raw alcohol, then my high-priced physizzian don't know his business."
An' thin, at last, ye fergit all about it till the nixt wan happens along. Och I haven't had a sphell fer months! This is an awful dull place. I think I'll be quittin' it soon." "Oh, no, no, Mary Ellen!" I cried, alarmed, "you mustn't leave us! When Jane and I get married you can come and live with us." I blushed furiously. "And who might Jane be?" demanded Mary Ellen, suspiciously.
Puddles were standing in the road, but the sun shone from a blue sky, and everywhere, on the ground, was a faint hint of budding green. At Benson's Saxon waited while Billy went in to get his six dollars for the three days' plowing. "Kicked like a steer because I was quittin'," he told her when he came back. "He wouldn't listen at first.
Springing over the wheel he stood by the roadside and declared defiantly: "I'm quittin'. Hate to leave you in a pinch, Wallie, but I take sass from no female. I'd ruther herd sheep than wrangle dudes, anyhow. I tried to be entertainin', and this is the thanks I git fer it." "Nobody asked you to talk," Miss Mercy snapped at him.
"I'm quitting to-day." Hawkins stared and named the Biblical place of torment. "What yuh quittin' for, Lone?" he added incredulously. "All you boys got a raise last month; ain't that good enough?" "Plenty good enough, so long as I work for the outfit." "Well, what's wrong? You've been with us five years, Lone, and it's suited you all right so far " Lone looked at him.
They must have come a putty long ways, fur there ain't a ranch in a hundred miles of here, as I knows of. Go ahead an' pick out a place ter camp. Ther boys will be here in a few minutes, fur it's about quittin' time now. I'll tell 'em that Young Wild West, ther champion deadshot, is here, an' you kin bet that they'll give yer a royal welcome!"
Now you ain't a-goin' to think of quittin' Wilton an' leavin' me high an' dry with this propeller idee, are you? 'Twould be a downright shabby trick." Bob smiled into the old man's anxious face. "I can't promise to see you to the finish for I must be back home before many days, or I'll have my whole family down on me. Besides, I have some business in New York to attend to," he said kindly.

I had to get up early for the washing. Now get along with you and get out of the house early. It won't be nice to-day, what of Tom quittin' an' nobody but Bernard to drive the wagon."

I hire about a hundred hands on my ranches durin' the long off season, an' when harvest comes round a good many more. All I can get, in fact....
