`` I mean, we don't have any way to get there and we can't expect you to quit work just to take us to town ''.

I don't know what makes you think you can get away with this kind of business, and I don't care about that, either.

`` Might get there faster walkin' '', Lord drawled, `` seein' as how I got a busted front spring.

I figger it's probl'y a sixty-five-mile walk, and I c'n maybe get this spring patched up in a couple of hours ''.

`` Not a danged thing but rattlesnakes, so I reckon I'll get the boss rattler to help me ''.

`` I don't know, Mr. Brenner '', he said haltingly, beginning to get an inkling of Brenner's plans.

`` Got a lot to tend to, but I'll get back quick as I can '', he assured her.

Rod shifted his eager eyes from the milling group out in the circle long enough to reply, `` I ain't much of a hand for Dare-Base and Farmer-in-the-Dell, but I'd sure like to get in on the handhold and wrestles ''.

Besides, 'tain't no more'n right for me to follow with my black oxen, so's I can unhook and pull up fast if either of you get in a pinch ''.

I didn't get a good look at him at all, his back was to me, and I was so scared It was just somebody in a man's suit.

I showed her the shower and tub, and she said, smiling, `` If you really don't mind, I think I'll get clean in the shower, then soak for a few minutes in your tub.

I dismissed these feelings as wishful thinking but I could not get it out of my head that we had a strong physical attraction for one another and we both feared to dwell on it because of our relationship.

I heard subsequently that my Uncle and Aunt had dinner in a nearby restaurant in the French Quarter after which he went home to get into his costume to keep the date.

`` Nope, just you, all the time -- sometimes I think it's the only way I'll ever get a decent partner ''.

I don't get it why this time I should pull such a stupid trick ''.

`` Well, I get it '', Artie said, still on the ladder.

Most of the time I get what I ask for ''.

`` I made you so you could stand up.

Help me up, I feel kind of stiff ''.

We'll still have the rifle, and I might be able to round up some more.

Far up the valley I could see the Rees circling and reorganizing.

Now under me I could see him for what he really was, a boy dressed up in streaks of paint.

I heard o' Texas cattlemen wrappin' a cow thief up in green hides and lettin' the sun shrink 'em and squeeze him to death.

I don't know what you're up to, but when Brenner '' --

`` A body would swear I floated right up here on a cloud ''!!

Just as I straightened up with my duffel bag, I heard: `` Sahjunt Yoorick, meet Mrs. Major J. A. Roebuck ''.

I let up on the accelerator, only to gradually reach again the 60 m.p.h. which would, I hoped, overhaul Herry and the blonde, and as there were cars whose drivers apparently had something more important to catch than had I, Mrs. Major Roebuck settled down to practicing on Corporal Johnson the kittenish wiles she would need when making her duty call on Colonel and Mrs. Somebody in Sante Fe.

She stood up, pulled the coat from her shoulders and started to slide it off, then let out a high-pitched scream and I let out a low-pitched, wobbling sound like a muffler blowing out.

He caught up with me once and grabbed me, but I was all covered with zing -- it's very slippery, you know ''.

I was waiting in front of it when she showed up and told me of my Uncle's indisposition.

I bent and kissed the still pink neck and suddenly she jumped up, and her two arms encircled me in a bear-like crush.

When I show up he will know you are a good wife to have told him about it ''.

A few minutes later I saw my Uncle's car drive up and a woman's figure emerge and walk to the corner.

I must say the figure was well made up.

Often, I heard my uncles and cousins speak of it when I was a small boy growing up in Rabaul.

As it began raining at around eight o'clock on December 26th, I retired into my tent early, somewhat tired and discouraged, my body reacting sluggishly because of the continued exposure.

I would like to see you devote some space in an early issue to the news blackout concerning President Kennedy's activities, so far as Southern California is concerned.

Then he was asking himself the usual early morning questions: What the Hell am I doin here??

`` What I want you to do is to go to the market with me early tomorrow morning and help smuggle the hen back into the hotel ''.

Again among those jubilantly reunited bunkmates, I was shy with Jessie and acted as I had during those early Saturday mornings when we all seemed to be playing for effect, to be detached and unconcerned with the girls who were properly our dates but about whom, later, in the privacy of our bunks, we would think in terms of the most elaborate romance.

As I have indicated above, I base this feeling on a belief that current weakness in the market for consumer durable goods may continue through the early months of the year, but will give way to a sufficiently strong recovery later on to bring the full-year figures close to those of 1960 ; ;

For me, these will belong more completely to their surroundings if they are conceived in this early stage, though I freely admit that I do not hesitate to add or eliminate figures on the full sheet when it serves my final purpose.

I had come to Chicago from New York early in September with a dramatic production called Ask Tony.

Anyhow, I wasn't surprised, early that morning, to see Handley himself crossing from Dogtown Common Road to the Back Road.

I myself had been up there by seven o'clock, after mushrooms, since there'd been a week of rain which had stopped early that morning and the day was as clear as Sandwich glass.

Then one day, early in January, 1960, I sat down at my desk, and suddenly I was aware of the crucifix.

I come early in the morning ''.

`` I have to get up early for church tomorrow '', she went on.

I really shouldn't have smoked a cigarette so early in the day, thought Theresa, it always makes me sick.

It had grown hot early that day, and I hoped that the boy, my brother's son, would soon come across the broad black area of plowed ground, carrying the jar of cool water.

It was during his early trips to Achill prior to the outbreak of World War I that Henri painted extensively and is reputed to have done portraits of almost all the children in Dooagh village.

Rebuilt by the emperor Justin I after an earthquake in the 6th century, it became Justinopolis ( 525 ); but the old native name persisted, and when Thoros I, king of Lesser Armenia, made it his capital early in the 12th century, it was known as Anazarva.

Albert was chosen as his successor early in 1511 in the hope that his relationship to his maternal uncle, Sigismund I the Old, Grand Duke of Lithuania and King of Poland, would facilitate a settlement of the disputes over eastern Prussia, which had been held by the Order under Polish suzerainty since the Second Peace of Thorn ( 1466 ).

If no cruel hand pluck me from my stem, yet I must perish by an early doom.
