If Parish could be hanged, Bas would be satisfied but if he escaped he must not escape far. "I'm right glad ter talk with ye," said the Virginian, slowly, "because comin' from over thar whar he's been dwelling at, ye kin kinderly give me facts thet ther Commonwealth would love ter know," and that utterance sounded the keynote of the attitude Turk meant to assume and hold. Bas was disconcerted.
Hit's kinderly like young colts plungin' ergainst a new hand on ther bridle-rein we've got ter keep cool-headed an' patient an' ack tergether when a feller like thet shows up." Parish Thornton nodded, and Hump Doane took off his hat and ran his hand through his bristling hair.
Yet as he stood there, with the sweat and grime of his labor drying on his forehead, his brooding eyes held a patriarchal dignity of uncomplaining courage. "All these hyar men air my neighbors, Mr. Brent," he said with a manner of instinctive courtesy. "They hain't a-workin' fer wages but jest ter kinderly convenience me I reckon we're both of us right smart beholden to 'em."
"Fer yore own sakes hit's kinderly a pity ye couldn't git these irons offen me . . . they're right apt ter scar somebody up." They knew that to get out they must fight their way out and after all there were three of them. Flinging a heavy chair above his head, the quickest-witted of the trio hurled himself forward to the attack.
He had been chained to the same hard and dour materialism as they, yet for him life had another essence and dimension, because he had been born with a soul capable of dreams. "Thet fust night when I lay a-waitin' fer ye ter come back an' misdoubtin' whether I'd last thet long," he told her almost under his breath, "seemed like ter me thet old tree war kinderly a-safeguardin' me."
"Howsomever, I reckon ye're kinderly skeered thet I'd mek ye think too towerin' much of me. I reckon ye dar'sn't trust yoreself." Alexander looked at him, and for all her attempted severity she could not keep the twinkle out of her own pupils. If she had not succeeded in driving Halloway away, why should she stand out for the subterfuge of banishing Jerry?
"An' yit mebby he's right I reckon thet's jest another reason for likenin' ye ter one an' I reckon he knows, too, thet he flames right bright hisself." The girl lifted her brows questioningly and Jerry went on. "Hit's right hard fer me ter think erbout anything else. He stands betwixt me an' you an' he bulks so big thet he's kinderly hard ter git eround."
"Since then ye've jest kinderly pitied me, I reckon ... an' been plum charitable.... I've got ter know.... War ye mad at me when ye pondered hit in ther daylight ... stid of ther moonshine?" The girl's pale face flushed to a laurel-blossom pink and her voice was a ghost whisper. "I hain't nuver been mad with ye, Cal."
"Wa'al he mout. Thar's somethin' masterful in thet breed thet kinderly drives men on. I don't know es I could name what it air though." Then even as he spoke a group of humanity detached itself from the force on the dam and moved away as men do who are through with their jobs.
