You have been agitated, and it's growing dark. 'I am used to be out alone at this hour, and I entreat you not to do so. 'I promise. I can bring myself to promise nothing more tonight, Lizzie, except that I will try what I can do. 'There is but one means, Mr Wrayburn, of sparing yourself and of sparing me, every way. Leave this neighbourhood to-morrow morning. 'I will try.
'So much trouble for nothing? You should know best, but I think not. 'I don't know, Mr Wrayburn, answered Bradley, with his passion rising, 'why you address me 'Don't you? said Eugene. 'Then I won't.
When the little group of cavalry was gathered for the start, Yankie, rifle in hand, barred the way. His face was ugly with the fury of his anger. Dad Wrayburn rode forward in front of his party. "Don't git promiscuous with that cannon of yours, Joe. You've done yore level best to keep us here. But we're goin' just the same. We-all will tell the old man how tender you was of his remuda stock.
A worse threat than was conveyed in his manner of uttering the name, could hardly have escaped him. 'He haunts you. You accept favours from him. You are willing enough to listen to HIM.

Webb had not been sorry to see his arrogant foreman brought up with a sharp turn, but in the interest of discipline he did not care to say so. "Why can't you boys get along peaceable with Joe, I'd like to know? This snortin' an' pawin' up the ground don't get you anything." "I reckon Joe does most of the snortin' that's done," Wrayburn answered dryly.
If Wally Snaith beats me to it I'm not goin' to wear black," retorted Yankie. "Sho! The kid's got good stuff in him. An' nobody could ask for a squarer pal than Billie Prince. You know that yore own self." "You heard what I said, Dad. The Flyin' V Y horses don't take the back trail to-day," insisted the foreman stubbornly. The wrinkled eyes of Wrayburn narrowed a little.
