Fact is, my girl, we're up against a little back-set, and have got to make a shift in our plans a mighty quick shift, too," he added, almost savagely. "I I don't think I understand."

I've heard of such cases. Whenever I try to draw him out to talk about himself and what happened to him before you found him, it breaks him all up; seemingly gives him a back-set every time. He sort of slinks into himself in that queer, lost way just like he was when he first come to." "He's had a powerful jar to his constitution, and his mind is taking a rest." Leander was fond of a diagnosis.
A dead trouble may be forgot: it is the living troubles that make the eyes dim, and the heart fail. Yes, yes; Barf is as happy as a boy now, but I remember when he was back-set and fore-set with trouble. In life every thing goes round like a cart-wheel. Eh? What?"
