Though he limped painfully with one foot, the other hit the ground impatiently, like the good horse in a poorly matched team. As he walked along, he was talking to himself: "I wonder what dey 'll do w'en I git back? I wonder how Nancy 's s'ported the fambly all dese years? Tuck in washin', I s'ppose, she was a monst'us good washer an' ironer.
If we do not, we should like to have you young ladies come and call on us. It is always open house in the Overland camp. Julie, I hope we shall see you in the morning." "Ah don't reckon as you-all will be goin' away in the mornin'. Ah s'ppose Ah ought t' tell you-all what Ah knows, but Ah reckons you-all'll find out for yourselves soon 'nuf."
"Oh," said Beetle, "my leavin's between ourselves. The Head hasn't told any one. I know he hasn't, because Prout grunted at me to-day that if I were more reasonable yah! I might be a prefect next term. I s'ppose he's hard up for his prefects." "Let's finish up with a row with the Sixth," suggested McTurk. "Dirty little schoolboys!" said Stalky, who already saw himself a Sandhurst cadet.
I s'ppose Pinkerton'll send for me 'bout the first thing 'n' offer me twenty fi' dollars a week, er mebbie more 'n thet. Gol durn, ef I don't hold out fer thirty! Gee!"

They met Margot at the door. 'Oh dear! she sighed, as she saw their faces, 'I s'ppose your father has been and told you. The missis is quite nicely this morning, and wants to see you. Now if you go in, no tears, mind nothing to make her sad. You must make believe you're glad she's going, same as I do. A husky sob broke in the faithful servant's voice.
Still, as the responsible chief of this camp, I would like to hear why you reckons Wolfville is a good place to elope to. I don't s'ppose it's on account of them drunkards over in Tucson makin' free with our good repoote an' lettin' on we're light an' immoral that a-way? "'None whatever! says the pin-feather party.
"Well, s'ppose I be?" said Dan, not too well pleased with the sparrow-eyed. "Then this is for you," quoth the gamin, thrusting a note across the bar. Dan glanced at the note; next he smote the bar, accompanying the smiting with soft curses. "What's the row?" asked one of the loungers. "Nothin'," said Dan, his face clearing into a look of easy craft.
