[The Sagebrusher by Emerson Hough]@TWC D-Link bookThe Sagebrusher CHAPTER XI 4/20
Come down with a feller name of Gardner that lives up in there." "Oh, above on the East Fork? Say, how's the fishing up there ?--Did they say there were any grayling in there ?" "I've saw Wid Gardner lots of times before, and he says a feller can always get a sackful of grayling any time he wants to, in there, come summer time." "Look at him go! Ain't that fine ?" inquired Dr.Allen Barnes.
"Did he say they were coming good now, up there? Ain't he a peach ?" "Yes, Wid said the grayling was risin' right good now," said Flaherty. "But this feller, Sim Gage, his leg looks to me like you'd have to cut it off.
Can I help, Doc ?--I never seen a man's leg cut off, not in my whole life." "How do I know whether it's got to come off or not, I'd like to know. See that ?--Ain't he a darling, now, I'm asking you ?" "He is.
Like I was saying, this feller's leg is all swoll up.
Leave it to me, I'd say we ought to cut it off right now." "Well, you go tell him not to cut it off till I get this fish landed," said Dr.Barnes.
