The huntin's good thar, an' so's the fishin'." Harry shook his head, but he was very grateful.
"It's good of you to ask me," he said, "but I'm bound to go on." "Wa'al, if you're boun' to do it I reckon you jest have to, but we're leavin' the invite open.

Ef you change your mind on the trip all you've got to do is to say so, an' we'll take you in, ain't that so, Ike ?" Ike grinned and nodded.

His uncle looked at him admiringly.
"Ike's a lunkhead," he said, "but he's great to travel with.

You kin jest talk an' talk an' he never puts in, but agrees with all you say.
Now, fellers, we'll put out the fire an' roll in our blankets.

I guess we don't need to keep any watch here." Harry was soon in a dreamless sleep, but his momentary reversion to the wilderness awoke him after a while.
