An' thankin' you, Miss Majesty, an' all your friends, I want to add thet if Bill's outfit couldn't beat us before, they've got a swell chanct now, with you ladies a-watchin' me an' Link." Monty had seemed to expand with pride as he delivered this speech, and at the end he bowed low and turned away. He joined the group round Stillwell.
He walked across to the window and peered over the blind. "There's a mort of grounds in the cocoa that's sold here," he went on, after a look, "and 'tisn't the sort that does the stomach good, neither. For their own sakes, I'll give the word to start, and chance their thankin' me some day later when they learn what things be made of."
"No; if ye'll just land us yonder at Bannock pier, we'll be ay thankin' ye the same." "But what will you do there? There's no other train to-day." "Ay, we'll walk on a bit." The consul was silent. After a pause the young girl lifted her clear eyes, and with a half pathetic, half childish politeness, said: "We'll be doing very well my father and me. You're far too kind."
"It's the truth at last, that I've been lyin' aboot these three lang years, thank the Lord!" "Jean, is it thankin' the Lord ye are, for lyin'?" "Ellen, ye mind whan ye broke ye'r leg an' lay in the south chamber that lang sax months?" "Aye, weel do I mind it." "Lat be wi' ye're interruptin' while I tell't. He came here." "Who came here?" "Richard the poor lad! He tell't me all aboot it.
Josiah didn't want to go but I sez, "David will expect it of me, it's only showin' him common politeness. You know I brought the children up to always thank the folks that entertained 'em. And such a entertainment as this! Do you spoze I am goin' to slight and mortify him by not noticin' it and thankin' him? No, indeed!"
He's been thankin' the stars, especially Venus, ever since he got marching orders!" "How did you reach Fort Gibraltar?" she persisted. "Sans boots and cap," I promptly replied, determined to be ahead of the interloper. "Sans heart, too," and the priest flicked my broncho with his whip and knocked the ready-made speech, with which I had hoped to silence him, clean out of my head.
But before I came out I got mixed up with a man called Hurley, a professional gambler." "And Diaz?" queried a chorus. "Yes. Hurley was hurt in the wrist and Diaz died. I think I'm wanted in Morgantown." Out of a little silence came the voice of Black Gandil: "Dick, I'm thankin' you now for cuttin' me so short a minute ago."

"I laid off till he got his tires on an' I wouldn't lend him no tools to put 'em on with, neither. And then I looked up an' down the road an' seen there was no dust comin' an' we wouldn't be interrupted, an' I went up to the old skunk an' I says, 'I got a bill to colleck off you. Thankin' you in advance! an' then I shore collected. You ask anybody in Patmos.
Had I been fed up like youse" and he bowed grandly "there's no tellin' what I might 'a' writ. Thankin' you for the box-office receipts, I am yours to demand, Sundown Slim, of Outdoors, Anywhere, till further notice." Then he marched histrionically to the ranchhouse and made a fire in the rusted stove. John Corliss rode up to the water-hole, dismounted, and pushed through the gate.
