"Folks s'picion dat Chunk yere en dat ud be de eend ob him, sho. He ain' seen Marse Scoville daid sho. He on'y see 'im fall.

But they didn't seem to think it was anything outa the way at all they went right to talkin' and visitin' like they was fixed for company. I kinda s'picion Marion bleaches her hair. Seems to me like it's a mite too yeller to be growed that way. Drugstore blonde, I'd call her. You take notice first time you see her. I'll bet you'll say " "Aw, can that chatter, you poor fish!"
The folks in the Cove dun'no' nuthin'. But oh, ye mustn't s'picion nobody else ye mustn't hang nobody else!" Once more that indescribable change upon his face. "You showed him the way to this pass yourself? Tell the truth!" "He war ridin' his horse-critter 'tain't ez fast, nor fine, nor fat ez yourn." He stroked the glossy mane with a sort of mechanical pride.
You' grampaw say he goin' be fix fer him, if he do." "Yes, that was while he was standing there," said Florence ruefully. "He heard all that, too." "Miss Julia, she s'picion' he done hear somep'm 'nother, I guess," Kitty Silver went on.

"Ye needn't go tattlin' on me," he said, roughly pushing her aside. "I'll tell Mr. Roxby myself.
"I guess you got to go back," she said, "and be et by me. Like as not I'll stall myself, for I got one a-ready. But if David has got these fool things counted and misses any, and then finds that pie here, he'll s'picion me. Yes, I got to take you back, and hurry my stumps at that."
"The varmints don't know much about pity, but that's too rough a thing even for a Comanche to repeat. I've a s'picion that Lone Wolf had a hand in that, and I'm going for him. Come along."
