Shif'less Sol uttered a long and deep sigh of satisfaction. "Now, this jest suits a tired man," he said. "Henry, you an' Tom can paddle jest ez long ez you please. I'd like to do all my travelin' this way." "An' you'd get so lazy you'd want somebody to come an' feed you with a spoon," said Jim Hart. "An' it would jest suit me to have you do it.
The rich family travelin' with children and servants and unlimited baggage; the party of school girls with the slim talkative teacher in spectacles, tellin' 'em all the pints of interest, and stuffin' 'em with knowledge gradual but constant; the stiddy goin' business men and the fashionable ones; the married flirt and the newly married bride and husband, sheepish lookin' but happy; old wimmen and young ones; young men and old ones; the sick passenger confined to his bed, but devourin' more food than any two well ones seven meals a day have I seen carried into that room by the steward, while a voice weak but onwaverin' would call for more.
"If we're figurin' on hittin' the Rancho Seco before night we'll have to quit our gassin' an' do some travelin'," he advised. "Accordin' to the figures we've got about forty miles to ride, altogether. We've come about fifteen an'," he looked at a silver watch which he drew from a pocket, "it's pretty near two now."
"She's a damn' big country, Mr. Nolan. I dunno," he remarked doubtfully. "But Casey Ryan has yet t' go after a thing an' fail t' git it. I guess if it's hootch we want, it ought t' be easy enough t' find; it shore has been hard t' dodge it lately! If yuh want White Mule, Mr. Nolan, you send Casey out travelin' peaceful an' meanin' harm t' nobody.
"Is the house shut up?" "It was till two days ago. Then a brother of Mrs. Brent came and opened it. He has brought his wife and one child with him, and it seems they're goin' to live there. Somebody asked him where his sister and Jonas were, but they didn't get no satisfaction. He said he didn't rightly know himself. He believed they was travelin'; thought they might be in Canada."
He rides a black horse, and has a fine, big body and wears yeller boots. This afternoon when the day was darkenin' I saw him from the railroad bed, and I saw Flea's spirit a travelin' with him. I know that ye cared for her this long time back; but ye can't have her." "Who be the feller?" demanded Lem, frowning. "I said I didn't know, and I don't." "Were Flea with him?"
Talk about speedin'! When you're travelin' through the water at a forty-mile-an-hour gait, and so close you can trail your fingers, you know all about it. Although it's a calm mornin', with hardly a ripple, the motion was a little bumpy. No wonder! Then all of a sudden I has a sinkin' sensation somewhere under my vest, the bumpin' stops, and I feels like I'd shuffled off somethin' heavy.
"If he's worth backing at all I suppose he's worth backing heavily." This aphorism seemed to merit a new cigar on Crane's part, so he lighted one. "He's travelin' up and down in the market," continues Faust. "He dropped to thirty, then went back to seventy-five; now he's at twenty; I can't make it out." "I shouldn't try," advised Crane, soothingly.
The mad'mo'selle wanted him out, yuh see." "S'pose she naturally felt responsible fer him, that a way," agreed Wallace. "Reckon she's well rid o' him, though. Don't sound like the sort o' man yuh'd want a young girl travelin round with. What was he like?" "Tall, good-lookin', foreign-appearin' hombre. Talked pretty good range language though, and he sure could fork a hoss.
Crowds ain't goin' pester that lady-mare none. Music ain't goin' disturb her none whutsoever, neither." "Whut's her reg'lar gait?" "Her reg'lar gait is standin' still. But w'en she's travelin' at her bestest speed she uses the cemetery walk.
