In about ten minutes, in walks the English dude, and when he seen the cook eatin' away, he rares back and says, haughty-like 'Bless me soul, I cawn't eat with me servants, doncher know. Flour Sack never bats an eye, but says, with his mouth full 'Take a cheer, he says, 'an' wait until I git through."

I ain't 'fraid of you; you're green, but they can't break you. Keep your left eye on the suckers.

At last Mr. Bull sees it's no manner o' use that gate, so he turns, rares up, and tries to jump wall. Nary a bit. Young dog jumps in on un and nips him by tail. Wi' that, bull tumbles down in a hurry, turns wi' a kind o' groan, and marches back into stall, Bob after un.

Pretty soon he rares up and walks over to the tree where ole Demijohn sets rockin' up and down and chucklin'. He takes a holt of Demijohn by the shoulder, and he says: 'You darned ole hocus, you, I lost my job, and I'm broke, lopin' around this country with you. "'Forget it! says ole Demijohn.
