Miss Trimble's right eye flashed about the room like a searchlight, but she kept the other hypnotically on her companion's face. "Whass trouble?" The right eye rested for a moment on a magnificent Corot over the mantelpiece, and she snifted again. "Not s'prised y'have trouble. All rich people 've trouble. Noth' t'do with their time 'cept get 'nto trouble."
"Oh, I should say fifty," answered Yellin Kid, "includin' th' one they killed for beef. Probably they blurred th' brands on th' others an' drove 'em off an' I shouldn't be a bit s'prised," he went on, "but what we'd find most of your cattle, Bud, walkin' around on Double Z." "Hank Fisher; eh?" exclaimed Dick. "Yes, an' that slick Mexican half-breed of his, Del Pinzo!" declared Snake.
"Hain't you discoverin' it a mite late?" "It was left wholly to you." "Seems like I noticed it," said Scattergood. "So all that work's lost, eh? Seems a pity, too." "You don't seem to take it seriously." "You bet I do, and I calculate to look into it some." "It won't do any good. The mistake is plain." "Shouldn't be s'prised. I git your idee, McKettrick.
Twistytail to make Sammie Littletail feel better, and just then her own little boy Curly had a great idea. "I'll just slip in and finish the washing for mamma," he said to himself, as he saw that Flop and Pinky were still playing tag. "Won't she be s'prised when she comes in and sees the clothes all hung up to dry?"
An' say, Henry, won't they be s'prised to see us come proudly sailin' into port in our gran' big gall-yun, all loaded down with arms an' supplies an' treasures that we hev captured?" Sol spoke in a tone of deep content, and Henry replied in the same tone: "If they don't they've changed mightily since we left 'em." Both, in truth, were pervaded with satisfaction.
He motioned mechanically toward a chair on the other side of the stove, and added slowly: "S'prised to see you, Al. Didn't expect you'd be around here again after your get-away. Workin' once more?" "Oh, I'm right on the job!" responded Guy briskly. He drew the chair close to the square deal table, so close that he could have reached out, had he pleased, and touched his host's sleeve.
"Friends, I presume, sirs?" he asked, glancing keenly from man to man. "Reckon so," admitted Bolderwood. "Where is Colonel Allen?" "If you don't mind waitin' with us I shouldn't be s'prised if ye see him 'fore long," declared the long-legged scout. "Wanter see him pertic'lar?" "I do," the stranger admitted. "You are the advance guard of our boys, I presume?"
"It gives someone else a chance to rule, an' I wouldn't be s'prised if the next king is a better one. Seems to me you're not much of a Boolooroo." "That," replied the King indignantly, "is a matter of opinion. I like myself very much, but I can't expect you to like me, because you're deformed and ignorant." "I'm not!" cried Trot. "Yes, you are.

If he don't turn up before long, we're goin' to send out searchers for him." "You needn't bother to do that, Bill," said a mild, mournful voice, as a dusky figure came round the corner of the house.

The bunch didn't know that he could drive stock all his own self, and that he was a real, old cowpuncher now. He was a lot bigger. He didn't have to hunt such a big rock, or such a high bank, to get on Silver now. He thought he must be pretty near as big as Pink, any way. They would certainly be s'prised!
