"That might have been, ef you'd contracted to take the hull charge of two handfuls of buck-shot and slugs; but ez one eighth o' that amount would have done your business, and yet left enough to have gone round, promiskiss, and satisfied the other passengers, it wouldn't do to kalkilate upon." "But the express messenger and the driver were armed," continued Hale.
"I want to tell you first," he said, slowly wiping his face, "that I didn't kalkilate upon doin' this in this yer kind o' way. I expected more of a stan' up fight from you more risk in gettin' you out o' that hole and a different kind of a man to tackle. I never expected you to play into my hand like this and it goes against me to hev to take advantage of it."
"I didn't give her your letter because I didn't kalkilate to be any go-between 'twixt you and Snapshot Harry's niece. Look yar, Mr. Brice. Sense I read that 'ar paragraph in that paper you gave me, I allowed to myself that it wasn't the square thing for me to have any more doin's with him, and I quit it. I jest chucked your letter in the fire.
"And what do ye kalkilate all our property, letting alone this yer house, and the driftwood front, is worth all together?" "Includin' wot the Gov'nment owes us? for that's all ours, ye know?" said Jim quickly. "No leavin' that out jest for greens, you know," suggested Maggie. "Well nigh onter a hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, I reckon, by and large." "That's a heap o' money, Jim!
I suppose you know what a warrant is?" "I know what YOU are," said Hale hotly; "and if you don't leave my house " "Steady, boys," interrupted Stanner, as his five henchmen filed into the hall. "There's no backin' down here, Colonel Clinch, unless you and Hale kalkilate to back down the State of Californy! The matter stands like this.
"I reckon ye wouldn't mind," broke in Nott, suddenly, "ef I asked a favor of ye, Mr. Renshaw. Mebbee ye'll allow it's askin' too much in the matter of expense; mebbee ye'll allow it's askin' too much in the matter o' time. But I kalkilate to pay all the expense, and if you'd let me know what yer vally yer time at, I reckon I could stand that. What I'd be askin' is this.
"It is so lovely this morning such a change!" continued Miss Mayfield. "Yes, miss! You know I reckoned at least what your father said, made me kalkilate that you" Miss Mayfield, still smiling, knitted her brows and went on: "I slept so well last night," she said gratefully, "and feel so much better this morning, that I ventured out. I seem to be drinking in health in this clear sunlight."
Nothing is to prevent him from gettin' up HIS gang, and we hope he'll do it, for you see it puts us both on the same level before the law, for we're both BREAKIN' IT. And we kalkilate that we're as good as any roughs they can pick up at Heavy Tree." "I reckon!" "Ye can count us in!" said half a dozen voices eagerly. "But what's the job goin' to pay us?" persisted a Sydney man.
"I didn't come here," he said, rising with a kind of slow dignity, "to interfere with things I didn't kalkilate to see," glancing again at her dress, as the voices came nearer, "and that I ain't in touch with, but to know if you think I'd better bring him or" He did not finish the sentence, for the door had opened suddenly, and a half-dozen laughing girls and their escorts burst into the room.
"Kalkilate you was pretty well played out, yesterday. Don't look as if you'd stand much hard work. You're a school teacher, I take it? Yes, I thought so. I can generally guess at a body's business the first time trying. I ain't one of the educated sort myself, but I've picked up a few ideas knocking around the world.
