"Well, it don't matter, for I'd not wear a ring. And November is what did yu' say, ma'am?" "Topaz." "Yes. Well, jewels are cert'nly pretty things.

I'm goin' to travel in style, get to Big Spring by ridin' two miles to where I could only make one on this stove. Then I'll head north along Sulpher Spring Creek an' have water an' grass all th' way, barrin' a few stretches. While you are bein' fricasseed I'll be streakin' through cottonwood groves an' ridin' in the creek." "Yu'll have to go alone, then," said Red, resolutely.
He lay propped up on the pillows, with a red scarf tied round the withered scrag of his throat, and his spotless bed freshly arrayed by his mate's mother, who lived with them and "did for" both. "They du zay as Master Peter be carting of 'ee, Miss Zairy," he whispered. "Be it tru?" "Yes, Jack dear, it's true. Are you glad?" "I be glad if yu thinks yu'll git 'un," wheezed poor Jack.
But since folks can be born that different in their luck, where's your equality? No, seh! call your failure luck, or call it laziness, wander around the words, prospect all yu' mind to, and yu'll come out the same old trail of inequality." He paused a moment and looked at her.
So for the present his point is made, yu' see. But look ahead a little. It may not be so very far ahead yu'll have to look. We get back to the ranch. He's not boss there any more. His responsibility is over. He is just one of us again, taking orders from a foreman they tell me has showed partiality to Trampas more'n a few times. Partiality!

He wound up by yelling and struggling, and Skinny had his hands full in holding him. "Hopalong! Cassidy! Come out of that! Keep quiet yu'll shore git plugged if yu don't stop that plungin'. For gosh sake, did yu hear that?"
I've got Mr. Daniels an' Mr. Fisher an' lots, an' if you lived in Denver I'd shine your boots every day for nothing. I wished you lived in Denver." "Shine my boots? Yu'll never! And yu' don't black Daniels or Fisher, or any of the outfit." "Why, I'm doing first-rate," said Billy, surprised at the swearing into which Mr. McLean now burst.

"Lemme go, curse yu! Don't yu know they got Buck? Lemme go!" "Down! Red's got di' skunk. Yu can't do nothin' they'd drop yu afore yu took five steps. Red's got him, I tell yu! Do yu want me to lick yu? We'll pay 'em back with interest if yu'll keep yore head!" exclaimed Skinny, throwing the crazed man heavily.
Delmonico and Saynt Augustine wiped frawgs off the slate of fashion. Not a banker in Fifth Avenue'll touch one now if another banker's around watchin' him. And if ever yu' see a man that hides his feet an' won't take off his socks in company, he has worked in them Tulare swamps an' got the disease. Catch him wadin', and yu'll find he's web-footed. Frawgs are dead, Trampas, and so are you."
