Really, you must not.

No one was to blame; it just happened--" She stopped, unable to finish the explanation, for she was thinking of that part of the incident which was known only to herself and Patches.
Stanford told in a few words of his wife's danger and how the cowboy had saved her.
"That was mighty good work, Patches," said Phil heartily, "mighty good work.

I'm sorry, Mr.Manning, that our coming up here after these outlaws happened at just this time.

It is too bad to so disturb you and Mrs.Manning.We are going home Friday, however, and I'll tell the boys to keep clear of your neighborhood in the meantime." As the two Cross-Triangle men walked toward their horses, Helen and Stanford heard Phil ask, "But where is that steer, Patches ?" "I let him go," returned Patches.
"You let him go!" exclaimed the foreman.

"After you had him roped and tied?
What did you do that for ?" Patches was confused.
