They don't
get you without they get me, too. You orter know
I ain't a quitter. You give me a pain."
And the doctor and me stood and looked at each
other fur a minute. He grinned at me, and all of a
sudden we was neither one of us much giving a
whoop, fur it had come to us both at oncet what
awful good friends we was with each other.
But jest then they come a slow, easy-going
sort of a voice from the back part of the room.
That feller that had come in along with Old
Daddy Withers come sauntering down the middle
aisle, fumbling in his coat pocket, and speaking
as he come.
"I've been hearing a great deal of talk about
killing people in the last few minutes," he says.
Everybody rubbered at him.
CHAPTER XXI
There was something sort of careless in his
voice, like he had jest dropped in to see a
show, and it had come to him sudden that
he would enjoy himself fur a minute or two taking
part in it. But he wasn't going to get TOO worked
up about it, either, fur the show might end by mak-
ing him tired, after all.
As he come down the aisle fumbling in his coat,
he stopped and begun to slap all his pockets. Then
his face cleared, and he dived into a vest pocket.
Everybody looked like they thought he was going
to pull something important out of it.
