I allowed ye knowed better than to come whammling down that-away behint a man whilst he's a-cooking his ven'son." Dick laughed and called to me to follow as I could. And his answer to the old borderer was no answer at all.
Half setting up that-away he made a feel at his belt with his good hand, as I come near. But that good arm was his prop, and when he took it off the ground he fell back. His hand come away empty from his belt. The big six-shooter he had been feeling fur wasn't in its holster, anyhow. It had fell out when he tumbled.

"Yes?" smiled Nora. "You bet she kin. Why, whad you-all think? Gran'ma takes her knittin' ter bed with 'er and every now and then she throws out a sock. I'll bet a cookie you-all kain't knit like that-away."
"Buddy's a fine boy." "Finest in the world! I claim responsibility for him, in a way. He's part mine." Gray laughed; his eyes sparkled. "Him and 'Bob' are out there together. They've been together a lot, Mr. Gray. Both of 'em young, that-away " "Of course.

It's in my nature to feel that a woman is a thing to be took care of, for ever and for ever that oughtn't to work, that oughtn't to worry, that ought to just be!
