Them boys had divided twenty-five thousand dollars between them, which Lawler give 'em for makin' the drive. An' they sure did celebrate. Except Lawler. He went right home, an' I ain't seen him since. But I reckon Warden an' the rest of them ain't had no regrets. I ain't never seen no mournfuller sight than them folks sneakin' away from the station. All but Della Wharton.
For mournfuller and more melancholy sounds than her voice and that instrument made I never hearn, nor ever expect to hear, and thin. Poor, old, hombly critter, I gin her quite a lot of change one day, and she braced up and sung and drawed out faster than ever, and thinner. Though I'd have gladly hearn her stop. When I come up out of my revery, I see Ardelia lookin' at her stiddy and kind a sot.
Warwick could not give her a sitting; and in a still mournfuller tone, imagined he would find her at home, and alone by this time. 'I left no one but Mr. Dacier there, she observed. 'Mrs. Warwick will be disengaged to-morrow, no doubt, he said consolingly. Her head performed the negative. 'They talk politics, and she becomes animated, loses her pose.

And when at last he saw Dave Rankin, the blacksmith, watching him curiously, he guffawed aloud, rubbing his hands gleefully. "I don't reckon I ever seen no mournfuller sight than that!" he declared. "Meanin' which?" asked the blacksmith, his eyes alight with truculent inquiry. The others sat erect, attentive.
Tom Martin hooked his arm in that of the sallow gentleman and passed out with him. "Mighty humanizin' view Kedge took of that there insect," remarked Mr. Martin. "I don't recollect I ever heard of no mournfuller error than that'n. I noticed you spoke of Halloway as a 'thinker, without mentioning what kind. I didn't know, before, that you were as cautious a man as that."
But to the most intellectual there comes times of doubt about things they know nothing of nor understand. Such a time come to me, when the wind was more mournfuller than usual in the trees, and the clouds scudded along overhead, casting peculiar shadders. My imagination got the best of my intellect. I hurried. I looked back over my shoulder. I shivered, kind of.
