Pore old Dave Wisner, he don't seem to have no band; so I'll fix him up he don't seem cheerful, with his blinds down thataway. Round up our bands, Curly," says he, "and line some of 'em up in front of his house on the other side of the street.
When she do set loose, you watch me rope that littlest waiter girl. She taken my eye, fer shore." "That's all right, friend," said Del, apparently relieved. "I didn't know but you'd drew to the red-headed waiter girl. I sorter 'lowed I'd drift over in thataway, when she starts up." Sam, the driver, was sitting rapt, staring mutely across the great gulf fixed between him and Nora, the head waiter.

"I don't think it would spoil his appetite any. You remember how fast he was pelting along down in the wash, and how he slowed up after seeing us? A murderer would act just thataway." Mr. Saltoun nodded. "A gent can't do anything on guesswork," he said, bromidically. "Facts are what count."
And after acting like more kinds of a fool thataway in less time than anybody I ever see before, you sit up on yore hunkers and tell me I'll have more'n I can swing at the finish.

Women are funny thataway.
"Figuring on opposition maybe?" probed Racey Dawson. "You never can tell." "You can if you go to cutting any of Baldy Barbee's corners. Haley's little bunch never bothers Baldy none, but a man-size outfit so close to the south thataway would shore give him something to think about. Then there's the Anvil ranch east of the B bar B. They'll begin to scratch their heads, you bet.
The mystery was cleared; for he knew that he might shoot a wolf or coyote to mincemeat and neither would make a sound. "A dog," he said. "A renegade. I should have knowed it all along; her stealing thataway right alongside of Buge; and her bristling up to me no wolf would carry on like that." He strode to the tree and unleashed the hound. "Go to it, Buge!" he said. "Go clean up them pups."
