I ain't seen no one to speak to in a month, an' with you sittin' there, it was like Clint an' me cuttin' and comin' again off the loaf an' the knuckle-bone of ven'son."

I allowed ye knowed better than to come whammling down that-away behint a man whilst he's a-cooking his ven'son." Dick laughed and called to me to follow as I could. And his answer to the old borderer was no answer at all.
"I should as soon have thought of an oyster's falling in love as that being."
