Go on.

I wouldn't take it too mean, said Beasley warningly.

I sure wouldn't. You see folks say a heap o' things that is trash. They guess it's your doin' 'bout them boys. They reckon you played 'em one ag'in t'other for their wads, an' both o' them ag'in--Buck. Y' see--mind I'm jest tellin' you cos you asked--they guess you ast 'em both to supper that evenin'. Pete said he was ast, an' Ike let on the same. You ast 'em both for the fun of the racket. An' you had Buck around to watch the fun. Yes, they're pretty hot. An' you can't blame 'em, believin' as they do. One of 'em--I forget who it rightly was--he called you the camp Jonah. Said just as long as you wer' around ther'd be trouble. He was all for askin' you to clear right out. He said more than that, but I don't guess you need to know it all.
