Knew he was licked and figured he might get away with it, declared Pardee.
gpt
Lucky it didn't split his head open.
human
Cut out the lynching talk, boys, cried Pardee.
gpt
The man's been beaten up. I wouldn't wonder if his jaw was bu'sted. His nose is. Let him go; we'll see that he leaves the camp as soon as he can hobble. He broke through to Mormon, being assisted into his coat by Sandy.

How are you standing up, old bearcat? asked the referee.
gpt
I thought he had you nipped once but you walloped him.
human
Me? I'm jest about standin' up, an' that's all, said Mormon, gingerly feeling certain places on his face.
gpt
I sure thought it was my brains oozin' when he swiped me with that rock. But my bone's pritty solid in the head, I reckon.

She knows what you've been fightin' erbout. More'n that she's been in the crowd for the last five minnits of the scrap. That right, Westlake?
gpt
Yes. I saw her come into the crowd with young Ed. She wants to thank you, Mormon. No use dodging it.
human
Aunt wants to see you, he announced with a grin.
gpt
We heard the row down here, an' she sent me to see what it was. When I didn't hurry back she trailed me. Great snakes, Mormon, but you sure whaled him!
human
Huh!
