Sink me, Rolling, but you never hearn tell of a man or boy pipin' so soft like. Why, it skeers me to listen to it. It's just like but no matter." "Like what?" I suggested gently, hoping much.
Travis bit his lips and swore. "Why, damn him," he said, "we'll lose him the first heat. I'll shut him out myself." "We will, sah, we will!" said Col. Troup. "But if that rattling contraption skeers my mare, I'll appeal to the National Association, sah. I'll appeal sah," and he drove off up the stretch, hotter than his mare.
