Shucks, Mac, he said.
gpt
You shouldn't ought to have no trouble findin' them rewards in that unholy wad. An' mebby you could find Nelson's missin' eleven hundred on Trask, if you looked real hard. I like a man that goes through with his play.
human
I'm not lookin' for no eleven hundred at all! snapped McCullough.
gpt
An' I ain't shore that they've earned th' reward, burnin' that buildin' like they did! They let these fellers get away, first!
human
I just handed you th' money I found on Sandy Woods, said Hopalong.
gpt
That's like givin' it to you to pay us with. H--l! You act like you hated to make good Twitchell's bargain. Well, of course, you don't have to take this bunch, nor th' money, neither; but I'm sayin' they don't go separate. Suits us, Mac--we'll keep th' whole show--money an' all, if you say so.
human
Fine chance you got! retorted the trail-boss, bridling.
gpt
They're here--an' I'm takin' 'em, _with_ th' money.
human
There ain't nobody takin' nothin', rejoined Hopalong calmly,
gpt
His drawling voice changed swiftly.
human
Come on--a bargain's a bargain. Five thousand, _now_!
gpt
Mac!
human
Here, he said, handing them to Hopalong.
gpt
You give us a hand gettin' 'em to th' ranch?
human
If three of us could catch 'em, an' bring 'em here, said Hopalong, coldly,
gpt
I reckon you got enough help to take 'em th' rest of th' way--if you steer clear of town.
human
Don't worry, Mac, said Idaho, cheerfully.
