I'm goin' to ask Dad to let us have some traps, and we can trap together, and I'm not doubtin' we'll be gettin' some fur. We'll be partners." "That'll be great! When can we start setting them?"
"By God, Jack," said the first man with ominous softness, "I'll take a lot from you but when it comes to doubtin' my word " Morgan, with popping eyes and a very red face, slapped his hand on the bar and vaulted over it with more agility than his plumpness warranted.
