So firs', I buy me thishere gol' necktie pin wi' thishere lady's face carved out o' green di'mon', sittin' in the middle all 'at gol'. 'Nen I buy me pair Royal King shoes.
He's goin' be wid you heart an' soul an' Flyin' Jinny. All he asts, through me, is that he kin have the right to set her up on the purtic'lar spot w'ich he's got in mind out there on them show-ground lots.
"Well, when I get my first one," Yancey replied, "believe me, they'll get the full details, and when they get through readin' it they'll think I'm the bimbo what invented flyin'. Those white-collared babies at Headquarters have to get all their thrills secondhand, and this thing of yours is about as thrillin' as the minutes of a Sunday School Meeting."

He didn't see the horse an' team that come tearin' up the street, an' the driver was too busy lashin' the horse to see the child.

He rolled over an' over on the street, but beyond a scratch or two wasn't hurt.
Outside, in the brilliant sunshine, a sense of time, place, and events came back to her, and for the first time since her recovery she thought of Abe Catherson's note, which Hagar had read. "Oh," she said, looking at Randerson with luminous eyes, joy flashing in them, "he didn't shoot you!" "I reckon not, ma'am," he grinned. "I'm still able to keep on range bossin' for the Flyin' W."
When I hit town it's me for the big smoke and me picture on the front page, standin' with me faithful dog and a lot of them fat little babies without any clothes on, but wings, flyin' around the edge of me picture and down by me boots and up around me hat and in big letters she'll say: 'Romance of A Cowboy.

He ain't ter say sanctified."
