If I got to fight I want to hop to it, not set round in the shade o' the shelterin' palm while them guys are heatin' up the stewpot. This waitin' stuff gits my goat." "You might sing us a song, senhor, to pass the time," Pedro suggested, with a tight-lipped smile. "Say, I'll do that, jest to show these guys I don't give a rip.
If he was only shelterin', why didn't he walk out again when the storm was through?" "I'm supposin' it was a snowstorm, or else a fierce blizzard," Kiddie went on.

"Well, Sammy, better be movin' back to our shelterin' roof an' all the comforts of 'ome," began Cleek almost at once, and gulping down the last of his fourth tankard and slouching over to the doorway. A chorus of voices stopped him. "Where you sleepin'?" "Under the 'aystack about 'arf a mile from 'ere," replied Cleek glibly and at a venture. The barmaid's brows knitted into a frown.

"I guess th' lady got me to do ut!" he retorted finally. "Ef I do time fer ut I reckon's how she's in fer ut, too! An' I seen her pap breakin' into a house an' I guess I'd be a state's witness fer that! I reckon they ain't goin' t' put nothin' over on Hop! I guess they won't peep much about kidnapin' with th' kid safe an' us pickin' 'im up out o' th' road an' shelterin' 'im.
