Wal, miss, it war rayther a toughish struggle while it lasted. But, bless ye, that's nothin' so long as it's turned out all right. If you'd not been the plucky one you air, nothin' I could ha' done would have helped ye. It war your own grit as much as my muscle saved ye from fallin' into that trap.

Wal, I war clost by, and seed you ride right on to the danger. It war too late to holler, for that would only ha' made things worse, an' skeared you both; so I said nothin', but jist dropped my rifle, and made track toarst ye. I spied the branch above you, an' speeled up to it. The next war nothin'--only a spell o' twisting an' wrigglin'.
