It hain't because I've got anything aginst Columbus no indeed; but I am such a well-wisher of my own sect that I hate to see 'em in such a tryin' place. But I wuz glad of one thing, and mebby that wuz one thing that made them poor wimmen look so fearless and sort of riz up. They wuz in the East they wuz in the past; the sun wuz a-movin' along, they could foller its rays along into the golden day.
Perched on the top rail of the corral fence sat Bill Haskins shivering and staring at the house. "We killed your bed-feller!" called Barley. "He done et your pants afore we plugged him, but I kin lend you a pair. You had better git a-movin' afore Ma Bailey " "Ssh!" whispered Andy White.

'Tain't laik we was a autermobiler, er a electricity car, but we sho' hab been goin' sence we started. Yo' sho' done yo'se'f proud t'day, Boomerang, an' I'se gwine t' keep mah promise an' gib yo' de bestest oats I kin find.
But we see pictures and ornaments so queer that I felt my own eyes a-movin' round sideways a-beholdin' of 'em, or would have if we had stayed there long enough.

And he glanced at the coin, which showed tails. "The dollar says you go, Ed. You want to git a-movin'!" Brevoort hesitated; Pete rose and urged him toward the door. "So-long, Ed. If you'd 'a' stayed we'd both got shot up. I'll set in the winda so they'll think we 're both here." "I'll try her," said Brevoort. "But I'd 'a' stayed only I knowed you wouldn't go. So-long, pardner."
