He couldn't keep himself from loving that-away because he loved so much the other way well, sir, you better read it for yourself. It's a mighty real sort of a poem if you were that sort of a feller, I mean."
Who or what hit me, and why am I here hog-tied like a captured hoss thief?" "Mebby ye-all be that. Kain't answer no questions, an' if ye don't keep still Ah'll shoot ye.
