"They keep their places fine!
The Happy Family held itself physically, mentally, morally and socially far above sheepherders and in that lay the safety of Happy Jack.
I've been tied up like a bed-roll for five hours, you " Well, never mind, he merely repeated a part of what he had recited aloud in Antelope coulee, the only difference being that he applied the vitriolic utterances to the Happy Family instead of to sheepherders, and that with the second recitation he gained much in fluency and dramatic delivery.

He'd go straight up in the air. He wouldn't wait for no breakfast." "I betche there'll be a killin' yet, before we're through with them sheep," gloomed Happy Jack. "When sheepherders starts in once to be ornery, there ain't no way uh stoppin' 'em except by killin' 'em off.
