"A little b'ilin' o' both, I reckon," was his rejoinder.
"You come up here and set by me on the seat," said he to Constance, "and let the sun shine on you. The old man can stay back there on the blankets with my kerosene can of whiskey if he still thinks his health ain't good. Like enough he'll learn to get the potato off'n the snoot of the can before long. "You see," he went on, "I don't make no extry charge for whiskey or conversation to my patients.
Come," he said to the dazed and silent group at his side.

Mrs. Council, a large, jolly, rather coarse-looking woman, too the children in her arms. "Come right in, you little rabbits. 'Mos asleep, hey?
"Darn it," groaned Kent, "I'd rather had another licking. I certainly do hate that girl." "So do I," agreed Lydia. The two sat staring into the summer twilight. "Anyhow," said Lydia, "I hit her an awful smack in the face to-day. Of course, I had to, but that's why her nose bled so." "I wish you'd busted her old snoot," grumbled Kent.
