He's real taken with you, Mr.Howitt, and I'm mighty glad you're goin' to stop a spell, for it will do him good.

If it hadn't been for Sammy Lane runnin' in every day or two, I don't guess he could have stood it at all.

I sure don't know what we'll do now that she's goin' away.

Then there's--there's--that at the ranch in Mutton Hollow; but I guess I'd better not try to tell you about that.

I wish Mr.Matthews would, though; maybe he will.
