It flashed like a bleached bone. What the devil's the matter with me? I don't stand right on my legs. Coming afoul of that old man has a sort of turned me wrong side out.

"Oh, and papa and mama sings us all those Jubilee songs there's 'Swing Low, an' 'Roll Jordan, an' 'Steal Away, an' 'My Way's Cloudy, an' 'Get on Board, Childuns, an' lots.

If they see me and head for me before the way's clear, I'll let 'em come up and see they have the wrong man. If I get the chance, I'll lead 'em away. And Vic, you'll hit between those two mountains see 'em? and cut across country. No hoss could carry you there, except Satan, and you couldn't ride him. You'll have to go on foot but they'll never look for you on that side.

"About a mile and half to the nor'ard, on the weather side of the Gunfleet. Fancy she must have broke up, can't make her out now.
And Johnnie wanted to do likewise. Besides, there might be a horseback race. And he didn't want to miss that. "I don't want to bother with the buggy," he told his father. "This way's easier.
