I niver seen it blazin' brighter and there was a big bell somewhere boomin' away, as if they'd set the heart of the world tollin'; it's ringin' in me ears yet.... And a couple of days after that I quit out of Dublin, and I've been trampin' back to this counthry, takin' me time, as he said there's no hurry now about anythin'. So that was the ind of me University Degree."
It is a trampin' on over the Western slopes, a trampin' over red men, and black men, and some white men a hurryin' on to the West hurryin' on to the sea. And what then? Is there a tide of restfulness a layin' before it? Some cool waters of repose where it will bathe its tired forward, and its stun-bruised feet, and set there for some time? I don't s'pose so. I don't s'pose it is in its nater to.
"Dennis," sez I to my colour-sargint, "av you love me lend me your kyart, for me heart is bruk an' me feet is sore wid trampin' to and from this foolishness at the Gaff." An' Dennis lent ut, wid a rampin', stampin' red stallion in the shafts. Whin they was all settled down to their Sweethearts for the first scene, which was a long wan, I slips outside and into the kyart.
"Yes, I know you right enough, but I don't know your company. I'm not taking up strangers." "Lord love ye! This aint a stranger!" exclaimed Peke. "This 'ere's old David, a friend o' mine as is out o' work through gittin' more years on 'is back than the British Gov'ment allows, an' 'e's trampin' it to see 'is relations afore 'e gits put to bed wi' a shovel.
"'E's comin' along th' Spider's bringin' un. Ye see, he's a bit wore out same as I am we been trampin' all th' arternoon. Look at me shoes, that's th' worst o' patent leather they shows th' dust. Joe, my lad, jest give 'em a flick over with ye wipe." But at this moment steps were heard slowly approaching, and Hermione uttered an inarticulate cry, then spoke in an agonised whisper: "Arthur!"
Keep looking, it might be a tent a couple of miles away. That used to happen when we were buildin' bridges in the Rockies. Surveyors crossing upper snows would stick up a message in neck of a ginger ale bottle: then, when we'd come along with the line men after trampin' the snow for hours, we'd mistake the thing for a man with a white hat till we almost tumbled over the bottle.
Then he pulled out his wallet. "Eighty-six and call it square," he said. "All right," said the red-haired man. "It's a-givin' of him away, but I'm so darned tired of trampin' the country with him, that I'll call it eighty-six, and it's the biggest bargain you ever got in your life in the way of horse flesh. I wouldn't let him go at that figure, but my wife's sick, and I want to get home."
Yes, I wuz once more embarked on that great watery world that lays all round us and the continents, and we can't help ourselves. And the days follered one another along in Injin file, trampin' silently and stiddily on, no matter where we be or what we do. So we sailed on and on, the ship dashin' along at I don't know how many knots an hour.
"'Tis all we can do to get rid of 'em on poor trampin' fellows same as yourself." "See here, you'd best lose the bitch till tomorrow, anyway. She ain't the sight to please a strict man, like your dad, on the Sabbath day. What's more, she won't heal for a fortni't, not to deceive a Croolty-to-Animals Inspector at fifty yards; an' with any man but me she'll take a month."
Empty he went away and empty he has returned." "So fur, so good. Two more are left out, an' it'll now be time fur them to come trampin' back." "Be patient, Jim, be patient." "I am, but you must rec'lect, Paul, that thar comin' back soon means the life uv a man, a man that's one uv us five, an' that we could never furgit ef so be the Injuns took him."
