"Why, it's Hop Sing!" exclaimed Jo, upon first sight of the prisoner. "They've cut off half his queue and braided his hair in two pig tails, and put different clothes on him, and he does look like an Indian. How very extraordinary!" "Kethem Digger Dan cloe," blazed Sing. "That's a likely tale," said the sheriff, "betcha he knows more about stage robbin' than he'll let out."
"I knew you'd spring something like this," said Stan. "Take your time." "I'm afraid it's you that will take time, my boy. Can't you dig up any evidence to help you?" "I don't see how.

"I'm no better'n dirt, I suppose, though from the start she wasn' above robbin' me. Aw, she's sly ... Mr. Raymond, I'll curse her as she comes out, see if I don't!"

You weren't good enough, neither.
"I want you should take this for youaself; and if you don't want to buy anything to wea', you can get something to fix your room up with. Don't you be afraid of robbin' us. Land! We got moa money!

M'Adam drew back, the better to scan his would-be benefactor; his lower jaw dropped, and he eyed the stranger with a drolly sarcastic air. "A poun', man!
