I've got this job in hand now and I'll see it through." "We trust you absolutely," said Peggy, "and you'll trust us?" "To the last ditch," said the Westerner vehemently, "and now as there's no time to be lost, we'll go our respective ways. By the way, what time does the first test come off?" "We don't know yet; but some time before noon. It is rumored that it will be an easy one.
From the first he had been amazingly frank in confessing his fear of the Westerner. "Who else in the world would I care about for an instant? Where no other has ever crossed me once successfully, he has done so twice. That, you know, makes me begin to feel that my fate is wrapped up in the young devil." He shuddered at the thought, as if a cold wind had struck him.
It is filled with the energetic and enterprising who, by a natural process, are selected from the peoples of the East; and the stuff such booms feed on, grow on, and grow mighty on as they feed, is Hope. Every Westerner knows that the land is full of possibility, opportunity free, equal opportunity multiplied; and he hopes that his name will be the next one called by fortune.
"Queer sort of voyage, this, for a man on the point of death," the Westerner observed. "They brought a chap on here, an hour before we sailed, in an ambulance, with a doctor and a hospital nurse. Had to be carried every foot of the way." "What's wrong with him?" the other enquired.
He cracked the lash expertly so that the horses quivered and would have started if his strong hand had not tightened on the lines. The Westerner laughed again. "You're game anyhow." "When you are quite through with me," she suggested, very quietly. But he noticed the fury of her deep-pupiled eyes, the turbulent rise and fall of her bosom. "I'll not punish you that way this time."
We can readily see this in the following extreme example: An aborigine suffering from a psychological problem certainly wouldn't be a candidate for psychoanalysis as we know it. He could, no doubt, be helped much more readily by a witch doctor. It also stands to reason that the sophisticated Westerner would not be influenced by the incantations of a tribal medicine man.
Moreover, their clothes were quite in the way of being of the newest fashion. There was an air of precision about their cravats and linen. But on the other hand there might be with them some indifferent westerner who was obliged to resort to irregular means and harangue startled shop-keepers in order to provide himself with collars of a strange kind.
"Oh!" replied the Westerner, "the trouble with you is not that you cannot take your 'Mammy' into this free territory, but that you are not to be at liberty to sell her when you get her there." Lincoln threw himself with full earnestness of conviction and ardour into the fight to preserve for freedom the territory belonging to the nation.
"Then you'll find United States law has come along with Ben Chase," replied the other, snapping his fingers. He was still smooth, outspoken, but his mask had fallen. "You're not a Westerner?" queried Belding. "No, I'm from Illinois." "I thought the West hadn't bred you. I know your kind. You'd last a long time on the Texas border; now, wouldn't you?
"They don't remind me of the Western prairies, I can tell you," was the reply. "I am a Westerner myself, or I was until eight years ago. These lands look all right from the train when the crops are all off, but I find that every patch of the earth's surface doesn't always make a good farm.
