Get through with your list, partner?

I've learned that we've shouldered a whopping big job this time; and still things keep cropping up, that make it necessary to go back and change matters some. But I'll be in fine shape by tomorrow noon, I figure.

Kinder reckon on makin' the jump then, air yeou, boss?

Better wait up until night-time, buddy, he explained.

An ounce of prevention's always a heap better than a pound of cure, you remember. We can slip away a lot easier in the night, as we've proven more than a few times in the past. Then besides, we'd like to profit by the latest weather report. If a wide storm threatened it would be good policy to hold back even for several days, rather than get caught in a hard blow; such things are said to be doubly tough amidst the mountain gorges and canyons, with their cranky air currents, and a continual danger of running smack into some high peak.

I leaves all that figgerin' to yeou, as usual, partner; when yeou gives the word, that's goin' to be the right time for us to climb, an' not afore. Golly! but I'm as hungry as seven wolves all in one--hopes as haow they got steak an' fried onions on the bill o' fare tonight, 'cause my innards air jest a yellin' fur a mess o' my fav'rite chow.

I can't say I'm in the same box, because being shut up for hours, and badgering my poor brain with a hundred puzzling questions, isn't calculated to make a man ferociously hungry. You had outdoor exercise, and in consequence have built up a glorious appetite. Queer what some fellows _will_ do so as to cater to their thirst or hunger.

Naow whatever kin yeou mean by that same remark, Jack, ole boy?
