Hush!
gpt
What fo'?
human
Molly's asleep. 'Sisted on waitin' up for you.
gpt
Well, we're here, ain't we? demanded Sam.
human
Me, I got a scrape in my arm an' some son of a wolf spiled my saddle. Sandy, he sorter evened up fo' it.
gpt
Bleedin'?
human
Nope. Tied my bandanner round it. Cold air fixed it. Shucks, it ain't nuthin'! Sandy's got a green kale plaster fo' it. Come to think of it, I got ninety bucks myse'f.
gpt
You won?
human
Did we win? Wait till we show you.
gpt
Was it a luck-piece?
human
Your half, he said.
gpt
Five thousand bucks. Bu'sted the bank. An' here's the 'riginal bet.
human
Served me, now you take it, he said.
gpt
I'll git you a chain fo' it. It's sure a mascot--same as you are--the Mascot of the Three Star.
human
There's been shootin', she said.
gpt
You're hit. Oh!
human
More of a miss than a hit,
gpt
Didn't hardly muss a ha'r of my head. Jest a li'l' excitement.
human
Tell me all about it.
gpt
I wisht I'd been there to see it,
human
It warn't jest the time nor place fo' a young lady, said Sandy.
gpt
Main p'int is we got the money for yo' eddication, like we planned.
human
Air you so dead set for me to go away?
