So I had to give Trampas another explanation in the presence of folks lookin' on, and it was just like the cyards. No ideas occurred to him again. And down goes his opinion of me some more! "Well, I have not been able to raise it.
"I don't see what Trampas wants him for," said Scipio. "Oh, a handy tool some day." "Not very handy," said Scipio. "Well, Trampas is aimin' to train him. Yu' see, supposin' yu' were figuring to turn professional thief yu'd be lookin' around for a nice young trustful accomplice to take all the punishment and let you take the rest." "No such thing!" cried Scipio, angrily. "I'm no shirker."
When, however, the Virginian had departed to the roasting steer, and Public Opinion relaxed into that comfort which we all experience when the sermon ends, Trampas sat down amid the reviving cheerfulness, and ventured again to be facetious. "Shut your rank mouth," said Wiggin to him, amiably. "I don't care whether he knows her or if he done it on principle.
Nothing more could be read in his face, for there was Trampas himself in the open door. "Good morning," said Trampas, not looking at us. He spoke with the same cool sullenness of yesterday. We returned his greeting. "I believe I'm late in congratulating you on your promotion," said he. The Virginian consulted his watch. "It's only half afteh six," he returned. Trampas's sullenness deepened.
Others struggled with Trampas, and his bullet smashed the ceiling before they could drag the pistol from him. "There now! there now!" they interposed; "you don't want to talk like that," for he was pouring out a tide of hate and vilification. Yet the Virginian stood quiet by the bar, and many an eye of astonishment was turned upon him.
Trapper he was; old like, with a red shirt. One of his horses come into the round-up Toosday. Man ain't been heard from." He ate in silence for a while, evidently brooding in his childlike mind. Then he said, querulously, "I'd sooner trust one of them Indians than I would Trampas." The guest ate a grape, and perceiving he was seen through, smiled back rather miserably.
For everything would be over by dark. After five years, here was the end coming coming before dark. Trampas had got up this morning with no such thought. It seemed very strange to look back upon the morning; it lay so distant, so irrevocable. And he thought of how he had eaten his breakfast. How would he eat his supper? For supper would come afterward.
Contentment increased in the Judge's face. "Trampas a good boy too?" But this time the Bengal tiger did not smile. He sat with his eye fastened on his employer. The Judge passed rather quickly on to his next point. "You've brought them all back, though, I understand, safe and sound, without a scratch?" The Virginian looked down at his hat, then up again at the Judge, mildly.
"DON'T CHANGE YOURS CLOTHES." Innocent Molly appreciated these words no more than the average reader who reads a masterpiece, complacently unaware that its style differs from that of the morning paper. Such was Scipio's intention, wishing to spare her from alarm. So at the hotel she let her lover go with a kiss, and without a thought of Trampas.
"Well, my gracious!" said the fourth, beating his knee. "Why, yes," observed the Virginian, unexpectedly; "they tell me that aiggs there ain't liable to be so rotten as yu'll strike 'em in this country." None of them had a reply for this, and New York was abandoned. For some reason I felt much better. It was a new line they adopted next, led off by Trampas.
