And if I was you, Dilly, I'd go on a still hunt for another cook here at the ranch. This coffee's something fierce. I had my doubts about Sandy when we hired him. He always did look to me like he was built for herding sheep more than he was for cooking."
She looked very large, as she padded forward through the doorway, and her pink face and double chin seemed to exude kindliness as she came. "There, Dilly Joyce! if this ain't jest like you!" she exclaimed. "Creep in here an' not let anybody know! Why, Jethro, that you? Recognize you! Well, I guess I should!" She included them both in a neighborly glance, and Dilly was very grateful.
"You'd better clean up, after supper, an' go up there and tell him," said Dilly Rawdy, mercilessly. In the end Rawdy obeyed, having shaved and washed, and set forth. When he returned he was jubilant. "He's a gentleman, I don't care what they say," said he, "and he treated me like a gentleman. Gave me a cigar, and asked me to sit down. He was smokin', himself, out on the porch.
