I don't think much of her judgment, though, he commented to himself, contemptuously.

Any girl that would take that scrub Wellesly when she might have Emerson Mead--well, she can't amount to much! Bah! Emerson's better off without her!
human
Judge, I'm goin' to pull my freight.
gpt
What do you mean, Emerson?
human
I mean that this country will be better off without me and I'll be better off without it. I'm goin' to light out.
gpt
Soon?
human
As soon as I can give away this ranch to the Fillmore outfit, or anybody that will have it. Nick, you and Tom better take it. I'll give it to you for love and affection and one dollar, if you want to take the fight along with it.
gpt
Nothing would please me better, Nick replied,
human
All right. I'll turn it over to you to-morrow. You can have all you can make out of it and if I'm not back inside of five years you can divide it between you.

Everybody will say you are running away from the Whittaker case and that you are afraid to face a trial,
human
They may say what they damn please,
gpt
They'd better not say that to me!
human
There's no likelihood, said Judge Harlin,
gpt
Oh, I'm not afraid of the trial, if there should be one. But I don't think there'll be any. I'm not going to submit to arrest, trial, or anything else, until they can prove that Will Whittaker's dead, and they can't do that. I told Wellesly that I would let them arrest me whenever they can prove that Will Whittaker died with his boots on, and I'll stick to my word. I'll come back from anywhere this side of hell for my trial whenever they can prove it, and you can tell 'em so, Judge. But I'm tired of this country and done with it, and I mean to pull my freight to-morrow.

If you want to start from Plumas you'd better ride over with me, said Harlin,
gpt
All right. They can have all the trouble they want.
human
You bet they can! All they want, and a whole heap more than they'll want when it comes!
gpt
That's what's the matter! We'll see that they get it!
