I don’t want her, nor no livin’ soul except my trunk; an’ I want that just as quick as Joshua can haul it down out of the attic." "You ain’t thinkin’ of goin’ travelin’!" the maid cried in consternation; "you can’t never be thinkin’ of that?" "No," said her mistress with fine irony; "I want the trunk to make a pie out of, probably." Lucinda was speechless.
"I'm afraid all the best things are gone, they went off so quickly to-night; but you're just as welcome, I'm sure, an' mebby you'll find something you'd like, though I suppose you're a travelin' man, an' I don't see what you'd do with a knit tidy, or a rickrack pin cushion, unless you've got a sister or a wife to send it to. But mebby you ain't a drummer after all?"
A group of drummers were trading yarns on the subject of hospitality, says "Lippincott's Magazine," when one of them took up his parable thus: "I was down in Louisiana last month travelin' cross country when we kinder got lost in a lonesome sort of road just about dark, and when we saw a light ahead I tell you it looked first rate.
Adoo, people of Weathersfield. Be virtoous & you'll be happy! As soon as I'd recooperated my physikil system, I went over into the village. The peasantry was glad to see me. The skoolmaster sed it was cheerin to see that gigantic intelleck among 'em onct more. That's what he called me. I like the skoolmaster, and allers send him tobacker when I'm off on a travelin campane.
Don't let it slip your noodle that we've been six days gettin' here; an' travelin' light, an' all played out, it can't be made back in less 'n three days." For a minute Smoke pondered the miles of the way they had come, visioning the miles in terms of time measured by his capacity for exertion. "I can get there to-morrow night," he announced. "All right," Shorty acquiesced cheerfully.
"'Shure, said the girl, eyeing me narrowly, 'you'll be after finding it warm here with that great shawl around you. It looks better for travelin' than a lady's parlor, and would be more becoming to the likes of me, than your own illegant shoulders. "It was true. I was detected. Was there no hope? "I grew desperate, for I knew this would all be repeated to her master in the morning.
I don't know none of 'em. There was a couple of travelin' photygraphers got snowed up here several year ago and I bought ten dollars' worth of old pictures off 'em for company. I got 'em all named, and it's real entertainin' settin' here evenin's makin' up yarns about 'em that's more'n half true, maybe Mis' Taylor over to Happy Wigwam says I'm kind of a medium."
Just travelin'. Maybe I'll make it over to Rattlesnake Buttes" he raised an arm toward the northeast "and maybe down Caldron Cañon way." He pointed southeast toward the mountains. "I dunno just driftin' along, me an' the little fellas. Sometimes we drift here, and sometimes we drift there. Don't matter much, s'long's there's grub an' a little rolled barley in the pack-bags.
He was fifteen miles away, and we can prove it by at least six witnesses." "Good. I reckon Em can put in an alibi too." "I'll bet he can." Hart promised this with conviction. "Trouble is they say they've got witnesses to show Em was travelin' toward the Bend half an hour before the hold-up. Art Johnson and Clem Purdy met him while they was on their way to town." "Was Crawford alone?"
"I never did know before why the good Lord made so much of this country stand up on end, but if I get outa this hole I'll not kick at travelin' over hills so frequent. They sure got their uses when Injuns are pluggin' at you." They made as wide a circuit as the foothills would allow. At times they were under a brisk fire as they cantered through the sage.
