Tobe ceased to laugh. His big jaws set themselves suddenly square. "I'll do no such fool thing," he declared, doggedly, "an' have the len'th an' brea'th o' Jim-Ned makin' fun o' me." "Very well," said his wife, with equal determination, "ef you don't go, I will. But I give you fair warnin', Tobe Cullum, that ef you don't go, I'll never speak to you again whilse my head is hot."
"I I don't know." "Well, what's your folks goin' to have to eat this mornin'?" Issy admitted his belief that fried clams were to be the breakfast. "So? Clams? Is, did you ever read the soap advertisement about not bein' a clam?" "I I don't know's I ever did. No, sir." "All right; I only called your attention to it as a warnin', that's all.
I asked him who he was lookin' for, he said 'Elisha Warren, and then the tree caved in on us." "'Lisha, you you don't s'pose 'twas a sign, do you?" "Sign?" "Yes, a sign, a prophecy-like, a warnin' that somethin' is goin' to happen." The captain put back his head and laughed. "Sign somethin' had happened, I should think," he answered.
He turned to the shepherd; "There's been too dad burned much funny work, at this ranch, since you come, Mister, an' we'uns 'low we'll just give warnin' that we don't want no more strangers snoopin' 'round this neighborhood, an' we don't aim t' have 'em neither. We'uns 'low we can take care o' ourselves, without ary hep from th' dad burned government."
But there's no use in advisin' or warnin'; it's like the pigs and the hot swill one will stick in his nose and run away squalin'; the next one will do the same, and the next and the next. They never take warnin's; it's the way of the world!" But nothing dimmed the glory of Pearl's rainbow dream or stilled the happy songs her heart sang day and night.
"There'll be no use getting more ca'tridges and goin' back," Eli mused. "He's had a warnin' and he'll not bide in that camp another day. He'll flee the country." Then Eli's thoughts turned to his old father and mother. "The silver's gone, and it leaves Pop and Mother in a bad way," he mused. "They've been fondlin' that skin half the winter.
O'Brien betrayed indecision. "Ain't a man got a right to his artistic feelin's?" Arizona Jack demanded. "I gave Ferguson warnin'. It was violatin' my own nature to go on listening to his little birds. Why, there's music sharps that fine- strung an' keyed-up they'd kill for heaps less'n I did. I'm willin' to pay for havin' artistic feelin's.
"Why," said Denis, "the truth is, I was afeard some of us would be shot, an' that the lot would fall on myself; for the coffin, thinks I, was sent as a warnin'. How-and-ever, I spied about Cassidy's stable, till I seen that the coast was clear; so whin I heard the low cry of the patrich that Anthony and I agreed on, I joined yez."
"I warned him fair ter keep erway, an' p'inted my warnin' with a rifle ball." Rose's eyes widened in horror. "Yo' ... yo' means yo' shot him, Judd?" she whispered, with both hands pressed to her breast. "Shot him? No. I didn't aim fer ter hurt him, an' 'twarn't in nowise necessary. I jest put a bullet past his head an' he run like a skeered rabbit." "Taint so.
Key-holes is a great convenience; and though it ain't very pleasant to be squatin' in cold entries, and fallin' in the room sometimes, when people open the door without no warnin', yet I'm often there when they think I'm safe in the kitchin.
