[The Uphill Climb by B. M. Bower]@TWC D-Link bookThe Uphill Climb CHAPTER I 14/26

Sam and me was the only ones that kept out, near as I can recollect, and when it thinned up a bit, you had Aleck down and was pounding the liver outa him, and Big Jim was whanging away at you, and Rock was clawin' Jim in the back of the neck, and you was all kickin' like bay steers in brandin' time.
I reached in under the pile and dragged you out by one leg and left the rest of 'em fighting.
They never seemed to miss you none." He grinned.
