`` Mr. Morgan, it's the best-looking food I ever saw ''.

I saw you driftin away -- but I tried.

I saw that letter.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Gray Eyes rushing at me with a knife.

I saw the pony fall like a stone and the young warrior flew over its head, bouncing like a rubber ball.

I saw Little Billy rise and fire almost point blank and an Indian's face became shattered flesh and bone.

I saw the clergyman kneel for a moment by the twitching body of the man he had shot, then run back to his position.

`` I saw your fire '', she said, speaking slowly, making an effort to control her anger.

With distaste I saw him assume a pompous air.

When I went for my interview with the director I saw why.

`` I never saw him.

Then I saw the father's head slightly turn ; ;

Suddenly a treble auto horn tootley-toot-tootled, and, thumbing hopefully, I saw emergent in windshield flash: red lips, streaming silk of blonde hair and -- ah, trembling confusion of hope, apprehension, despair -- the leering face of old Herry.

When I fell on my back, I saw a vulture hovering.

Looking back I saw a gray-haired man getting out of his halted car and trying to read our license number.

I saw Johnson's bottle snatched from his hand, saw it go in a swirl of foam just behind the second car.

One Monday morning I saw him approach the store with a woman and introduce me to her as my new Aunt.

And that is the way I first saw her when my Uncle brought her into his antique store.

I thought I saw a faint surge of color rise to her neck and quickly suffuse her cheeks.

I remember being told it would happen so fast people would think it took place overnight.

As I dug in behind one of the bales we were using as protection, I grudgingly found myself agreeing with Oso's logic, especially when I imagined what would have happened to Missy if Old Knife's large party of screeching warriors had overrun our company.

`` That quirt -- I ought to use it on you, where it would do the most good.

I would turn away from my writing in the hope of getting a good look at them but I never quite succeeded.

He pointed out the switch to me and for a moment I foolishly believed that he would let deed follow words.

Later I would remember what this pompous little man had told me about the worth of a ticket.

By counting the number of stalls and urinals I attempted to form a loose estimate of how many men the hall would hold at one time.

No sooner would I turn my head away from the counter before he would address me, at times quite sharply, in order to bring back my attention.

As I had expected, he insisted that my visits to the hall would do nothing to further the process of my application.

What sort of men I would come into contact with, at the hall??

Though I doubted that he would understand me, I told the director my motives for applying.

Donald Kruger would like nothing better than to hold him as hostage, and I wouldn't entrust a snake to his tender care.

`` What else would I mean, anyways ''??

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

Forced to realize that this was the end of a very short line I scanned a road marker and discovered what the end of a slightly longer line would be for the old Mexican: Moriarty, New Mexico.

I would have foregone my romantic chances rather than leave a friend sweltering and dusty and -- Well, at least I wouldn't have shouted back a taunt.

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.

`` I guess I'll find out soon enough.

`` Just as soon as I go to the bank, and '' --

Suddenly and not a second too soon I thought of the coins in my pocket.

I had seen two of them and we would soon be in another city-wide, joyous celebration with romance in the air ; ;

The debate needed no additional controversy and soon I could ask each individually what he expected from life, what his hopes were and what his fears.

I left the party as soon as possible and got into a taxi.

`` I care not how soon we reach Calcutta, and are placed in a still room, with a bowl of milk and a loaf of Indian bread.

I was in charge of the arrangements -- which were soon enough disarranged.

`` I soon came back to my senses '', he said, aloud, to the young blizzard, proudly, drawing himself up, as if making a report to some important superior.

Somebody, got to be somebody If I don't put my two cents in soon, somebody else will I know they're waitin only for one thing: for the bastards what done it to be nailed.

My first thought was how had it happened so soon, but I counted back on my fingers and sure enough we'd been living together six weeks.

`` Please come down as soon as you conveniently can '', the upright letters stalked from the broad-nibbed pen, `` I have an important matter to discuss with you ''.

As soon as they are large enough to move, I put mine 9 inches apart where they are to bloom.

`` I expect to be tough as a knott as soon as I get over the Georgia Shitts ''.

Many years later ( on August 3, 1915 ), Lucy Upton wrote Winslow's daughter soon to be graduated from Smith College: `` While I love botany which, after dabbling in for years, I studied according to the methods of that day exactly forty years ago in a summer school, it must be fascinating to take up zoology in the way you are doing.

I am told the time will soon come when women will find it necessary to do most of their own work, and even now it is important to have conveniences for the use of servants.

I knew that I'd soon be back working as an orderly at the hospital or as a counterman at Union News or Schraffts while waiting for another acting job to open.

It suddenly occurred to me that I did not particularly like acting, that I was at some sort of crossroads and would have to decide soon what I was going to do with my life.

I turned left too soon and got a signal showing that I was still behind him but he was to the right.
