An' I kin tell yuh the time yore horse made when he run agin Dave's Boise. He's three seconds yes, by Christmas, he's four seconds slower t'day 'n what he's ever run before! What fer sport d' you call that?" His voice went up and cracked at the question mark like a boy in his early teens. Jeff stalked forward to Skeeter's side. "Jake, did you pull Skeeter?" he demanded sternly.
"The poor animal is afflicted with toothache to-day," he said. "Like the best of us he has his morbid moments." "S'pose she'll be lookin' yeh up agen t'day, Nickie," whispered the Living Skeleton through Mahdi's bars next morning. The Missing Link snorted. "I wish the Professor would bet out of this hole," he said. "If that terrific creature discovers the truth, I am lost."
Languidly Soapy stooped and picked it up. "His noo lid!" said he. "Only bought t'day, I reckon!" "Gee!" exclaimed M'Ginnis, staring after Spike's fleeing figure, already far away, "he sure was some peevish!" "Some!" nodded Soapy. "If he'd happened t' have a gun handy, here's where you'd have cashed in for good, I reckon.
She didn't appear to be listening, but she was, and he didn't appear, on his part, to be talking to her, and he kept his voice as hard and dry as he could. "An' I was tellin' Tukey t'day that it was a dum shame our crops hadn't, turned out better. An' when I saw ol' Hatfield go by, I hailed him an' asked him what he'd gimme for two o' m' shoats.
"I understand that I lose her until she is old enough to do as she chooses," amended Mr. Perkins. "After t'day, y' don't see her again," insisted Big Tom, "till she's growed up." "I'll see him every day!" cried Cis. "Every day! Don't agree to that, Algy! The marriage part, yes, because we can't help ourselves. But he's not going to part us! I'm leaving, but wherever I am, I'm going to see you!"
Frank inquired politely when he had swallowed the last drop and had wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "It's right warm and dusty t'day." "They're asleep at last, thank goodness," she answered, glancing back at a huddle of pink calico that showed just over the crest of a pile of crumpled quilts. "Buddy has a hard time of it.

"Who'll push, when the school-ma'am wants to swing? Or Len Adams? or " "Oh, saw off!" Weary implored. "We can think up troubles enough, Cadwolloper, without any help from you."
"I betcher it's goin' to snow, all right," Happy Jack interrupted the warning. "Chickydees was swarmin' all over the place, t'day." "We-ell, now, yuh don't want to go too much on them chickydees," Applehead dissented. "Change uh wind'll set them flockin' and chirpin'. Ain't ary flake uh snow in the wind t'day, fur's I kin smell and I calc'late I kin smell snow fur's the next one."
