And the man gratefully drinks and goes on his way refreshed. He quite forgets the tin-cup. Sometimes the tin-cup seems to require much attention, up in the corner of the world where my tent is pitched.
You work so hard, you know, my dears, while I am utterly without an occupation. I don't need much, do I?" "You need a snifter of brandy," announced Joey conclusively. He went off to get it. Ruby rinsed her own tin-cup and poured out some hot coffee. Casey called up a boy and sent off to the performer's cook top for a pitcher of soup, some corned beef and potatoes, ignoring her protests.

Two flat stones placed a few inches apart improvised a stove when fire thrust its tongue from the crevice, and a frying-pan and tin-cup laid across the opening cooked the outlaw's provisions. Alfred hospitably ladled some bacon and coffee into their former owner. "Not that I needs to," he observed, "but I'm jest that tender-hearted."
