"Howdy," he drawled, "got any smokin'?" "How are you," replied one of the scalers, eying him sharply, and tendering his pouch.

Life rippled gloriously from every motion of him. Hermes himself might have envied the perfect grace of the man. She supplied his wants while they chatted. "Jogged off your range quite a bit, haven't you?" she suggested. "Some. I'll take two bits' worth of that smokin', nina." She shook her head. "I'm no little girl.
