After the billigerent jacks had been led away, Red Pete suddenly took to the brush, accelerated by a fusillade of bullets. "Welchin' his bets, he is, an' ivery man he owes is lettin' him have it." "Nary a hit!" wailed old Jack Horner. "The shootin' in this camp is a-gittin' vile! Time we was quittin so d much pick handlin, an' a-practicin' up. It's a reflection on the community.
Barney congratulated Casey, slapping his great thigh and laughing loudly. "She shore is handy with her tongue that old girl. Ever hear a sawmill workin' overtime? That's her rippin' through knots an' never blowin' the whistle fer quittin' time. I never knowed a man could have as many faults as what she used t' name over fer me." He drained his cup and sighed with great content.
Tresler was in no mood for this man's sneers. "No," he said. "On the contrary, I stay till my time's out." Jake could not conceal his surprise and chagrin. "You ain't quittin'?" "No." Tresler really enjoyed his discomfiture. "An' you're goin' " "No." A thought suddenly occurred to him. He could hand something on to this man.
It was a grin that needed no apology, for all evidence was in its favor that it was so seldom seen by the eyes of men that it could be forgiven without a plea. "I've been ridin' the long trail," said Seth. "With that bunch that just arrived?" "Yeh. Drove up from the Nueces. I'm quittin'." "The last time I saw you, Seth, you were butchering two tons of buffalo a day for the railroaders.
He was lyin' out in the sun on a pile o' clay two weeks ago, an' I guess the only clean thing about him was his soul, an' he was quittin', quittin', quittin', right there on the clay, an' quittin' hard. Oh, so hard!" Once more she stopped and covered her face with her hands as if to shut out the horror of it all.
Indeed, he hardly spoke to his companions, ate hastily, and disappeared into his own quarters without offering to help wash the dishes. This task accomplished, the little group scattered to its afternoon work. In the necessity of stringing wire without cutting himself to ribbons, Bob forgot everything, even the flight of time. "I reckon it's about quittin' time," Jack observed to him at last.
Right soon the sun'll be shinin' and the hosses millin' round in the corral and gittin' warmed up, and Brent'll be tellin' us he can use us helpin' push them cattle through to the south end: and I reckon we'll change our saddles and git right to work, thinkin' all the time of quittin', but keepin' along with the job jest the same. A fella kind of hates to quit any job till it's done.
"Up in Lund they're talkin' yet about your drivin'," his new friend flattered him. "They say there's no stops when you get the wheel cuddled up to your chest. No quittin' an' no passin' yuh by with a merry laugh an' a cloud of alkali dust. I guess it's right. I've been wantin' to meet yuh." "That there last remark sounds like a traffic cop I had a run-in with once!"
"This un yaint, but theh's two spo'ts down b'low, that's quittin' the riveh, that blue boat theh, but theh's spo'ts." "I 'lowed they mout be," Nelia dropped into her childhood vernacular as she looked down the bank, "Likely yo' mout he'p me bargain, er somebody?" "I 'low I could!" the river woman replied. "Me an' my ole man he'ped a feller up to St.
She's satisfied with her quarters, havin' a room and bath to herself; she's got no active grouch against any of the other help; and being sent to mass every Sunday mornin' in the limousine suits her well enough. But she's quittin', all the same. Why? Well, maybe Mr. Robert remembers that brother Dan of hers he helped set up as a steam fitter out in Altoona some six or seven years ago?
