Crinkums, I learned a lot of things from that fellow.
"But as long as he didn't do it, we should worry," I told him.
"That's us," he said When we got in the boat he took the oars and I sat in the stern and we just flopped around.

There aren't many fellows out rowing mornings, because they're either tracking or stalking or cleaning up or maybe in for a dip.

We could see the fellows busy about the cabins and hear them shouting and it made me feel awful sorry for Skinny, somehow.

I didn't see him anywheres and I wondered where he was.
"Well, kid," Bert said (most always he called me that), "things get worser and worser, hey ?" "Do you still say he didn't do it ?" I asked him; "I don't know _what_ to think--look at that money." "Ever take a good look at Skinny ?" he said.
"Yes, but look at the money," I said.
"What do I want to look at it for ?" he said; "it ought to be hung out on the clothesline from all I've heard," he said.
Oh, boy, I was glad to hear him say that.

"I wouldn't let any fellow in this camp except you call me 'kid,'" that's what I told him.
He just rowed around a little while, making dandy feather strokes, and then he said, "Mr.Ellsworth didn't send that money over to Daniel Boone and Buffalo Bill yet, did he ?" I said, "You mean the gold dust twins?
No, I don't think he did." He said, "Well then, we've got to fix _that_ and We can't ask Mr.E.
not to do it The tide's against us, kid; nobody's going to listen to us--not yet." Then all of a sudden he sat up, got his oars set right, and oh, bibbie, you should have seen that fellow row.
