"But hold on a bit mebbe now somethin's a'goin' to strike up we'll both be sorter glad to set eyes on looky there, old hoss, what do you see?" A man had come out of the odd-looking shack constructed from the coquina rock found in different parts of Florida, and formed by insects, science has decided.
I don't half know what's happened, but somethin's goin' on, whether it's understandable or not to me and the likes of me, I don't know as yet, and I don't think I'll try to find out. If ifs bad it'll come out fast enough, and if it's good, leavin' it alone maybe will make it a little better. But here we are," he continued aloud, "at Dexter's Oak.
When things shuts down an' gets dark at the movin'-picture show, then it's time to sit up an' take notice. That means somethin's doin' you're goin' to be showed somethin' interestin'. Well, it's the same with us. But if you lose your sand at the first go-off, an' sag down an' hide your face in your hands, well, you'll miss the show. You won't see a bloomin' thing."
Lafe meditated an instant before replying. Then: "I've found out that we're always happier, kid, when we've got a to-morrow to look to," said he, "'cause when you're just satisfied, somethin's very apt to go smash. I was that way once." He paused for some seconds. "Jinnie," he murmured, "I haven't told you how I lost the use of my legs, have I?" "No, Lafe."
They'll stop an' count a dozen afore gittin' too close," he muttered as he softly replaced the bar. "They'll lay mighty low an' won't bother to do much but watch the door. I 'low it'll be hard work to crawl out without they guessin' somethin's wrong." "Then let's rip up the floor and dig a hole under the logs," I suggested. "We'll do that," he quietly agreed.
"They've worked over that thar chap, off an' on, all night," the old man said. "Looks like, if they keep hit up, she'll begin to think somethin's the matter of her." Gray realized that his visit at this moment would be ill-timed. He would ride on through the Gap now, and call as he came back.
"Ye ain't goin' to ride him bare-back?" asked Ozias. "I'm not going to stop for a saddle. G'long!" Jerome bent forward, slapped the horse on the neck, dug his heels into his sides, and was off at a gallop. Ozias followed, still clutching the deed. Abel Edwards came out as he reached the house. "Where's J'rome goin' to?" he asked. "Down to Basset's; somethin's happened.
"You can't understand the feelin's of a fambly man away from home." He rolled his eyes sentimentally. The subject was one which was dear to the uxorious herder. He pulled out the tremolo stop in his voice and quavered: "You feel like you're goin' 'round with nothin' inside of you a empty shell or a puff-ball with the puff out of it. You got a feelin' all the time like somethin's pullin' you."
"There's one thing about you, pardner, I don't quite sabe," drawled Bill to his employer as they sat in front of their cabin one night, after discussing the assays which Dick made his especial work. "You ain't as talkative as you used to be. Somethin's on your mind. It's more'n two weeks now since I had time to think about anything but the green lead, and I'm beginnin' to notice.
"Where's the girl?" demanded Anson, in surprise, when he got back to the camp. "Wal, she's walkin' 'round between heah an' Pine," drawled Wilson. "Jim, you let her loose?" "Shore I did. She's been hawg-tied all the time. An' she said she'd not run off. I'd take thet girl's word even to a sheep-thief." "A-huh. So would I, for all of thet. But, Jim, somethin's workin' in you.
