A feller stands more chance with some of 'em stayin' away, an' agin if he stays away from some of 'em he don't stand no chance at all. An' agin I rickollect that if I hadn't 'a' got mad an' left grandma in thar jist at one time an' hadn't 'a' come back jist at the right time another time, I'd 'a' lost her shore.
Mace Day shot Daws Dillon's brother, as I rickollect somep'n's al'ays a-startin' up that plaguey war an' a-makin' things frolicsome over thar an' ef it hadn't a-been fer a tall young feller with black hair an' a scar across his forehead, who was a-goin' through the mountains a-settlin' these wars, blame me ef I believe thar ever would 'a' been any mo' preachin' on Kingdom-Come.
And you must come," she said, decisively. They had reached the turnstile at the campus again. "Have you had any more tournaments?" asked Margaret. "No," said Chad, apprehensively. "Do you remember the last thing I said to you?" "I rickollect that better'n anything," said Chad. "Well, I didn't hate you. I'm sorry I said that," she said gently. Chad looked very serious. "That's all right," he said.
He gathered up his reins. "You rickollect Jake and Jerry Dillon?" Chad nodded. "You know Jerry was al'ays a-runnin' over Jake 'cause Jake' didn't have good sense. Jake was drapped when he was a baby.
"I reckon I rickollect ever'thing that happened out thar a sight better'n you. I ain't forgot nothin' anything." The boy's sober and half-sullen tone made Margaret catch her breath with a sudden vague alarm. Unconsciously she quickened her pace, but, already, she was mistress of an art to which she was born and she said, lightly: "Now, that's MUCH better."
It's a' old man a-talkin', rickollect, and a-feelin' kindo' sad, and yit kindo' sorto' good, too, and I opine he wouldn't got that off with a face on him like a' undertaker, and a voice as solemn as a cow-bell after dark! He'd say it more like this." And the old man adjusted his spectacles and read:
You better keep offo' Kingdom Come," and then he stopped with an expression of quick alarm, looked around him into the bushes and dropped his voice to a whisper: "But I hain't sayin' a word rickollect now not a word!" Chad laughed aloud. "What's the matter with you, Hence?" Hence put one finger on one side of his nose still speaking in a low tone: "Whut'd I say, Chad? D'I say one word?"
Samuel Budd, who, too, had a pistol in his hand. Young Buck looked long at him and then he laughed: "You, too, Sam Budd," he said. "We folks'll rickollect this on election day." The Hon. Sam deigned no answer. And up in the store Devil Judd lighted his pipe and sat down to think out the strange code of ethics that governed that police-guard.
"Ef you will jes' rickollect, Jack had that same grip the time afore when I pulled him off o' Whizzer." "By , that is so," said Tall Tom, and Dolph and Rube echoed him amid a dozen voices, for not only old Joel, but many of his neighbors knew Jack's method of fighting, which had made him a victor up and down the length of Kingdom Come.
At the edge of town she suggested that they walk across a pasture and go back by another street, and not until they were passing through the woodland did Chad come to himself. "You know I didn't rickollect when you called me 'little boy." "Indeed!" "Not at fust, I mean," stammered Chad. Margaret grew mock-haughty and Chad grew grave. He spoke very slowly and steadily.
