I was just tellin' Pap Briggs here that I figgered Kilo had the hottest mean summer temperature, and the meanest hot summer temperature on earth, and it's hotter over a kitchen stove than anywheres else.

We generally have cold suppers in this here hotel, unless some guest happens in.

Hey, S.Potts! Come here and git this feller's horse!" The livery stable was convenient, just around the corner on Cross Street, and S.Potts came lankly and lazily around the corner.

He stood and looked at Irontail a minute critically, and then felt the horse's hocks and shook his head at the result of his investigation.

Then he opened Irontail's mouth and looked at his teeth.
"Well, I'll be hanged!" he said, and he called around the corner, "Hey, Daniel!" and from the livery stable came a very old man.
"Look at this," said S.Potts, opening Irontail's mouth again, and Daniel looked and shook his head, as S.Potts had done.
"And feel this," said S.Potts, putting his hand on Irontail's hock again.
