s--you saved it to me, you brought it home."

"The world expects a man that hasn't got anything to go out and make it
before he turns around and looks--before he lets his tongue betray his
heart and maybe be misunderstood by those he holds most dear."

"It's none of the world's business--there isn't any world but ours!"

"I thought with you gone away, Vesta, and the house dark nights, and me
not hearing you around any more, it would be so lonesome and bleak here
for an old half-invalid----"

"I wasn't going, I couldn't have been driven away! I'd have stayed as
long as you stayed, till you found--till you knew! Oh, it will
tear--tear--my heart--my heart out of--my breast--to see you go!"

Taterleg was singing his old-time steamboat song when Lambert went down
to the bunkhouse an hour before sunset. There was an aroma of coffee
mingling with the strain:

Oh, I bet my money on a bob-tailed hoss,
An' a hoo-dah, an' a hoo-dah;
I bet my money on a bob-tailed hoss,
An' a hoo-dah bet on the bay.

Lambert smiled, standing beside the door until Taterleg had finished.
Taterleg came out with his few possessions in a bran sack, giving
Lambert a questioning look up and down.

"It took you a long time to settle up," he said.

"Yes. There was considerable to dispose of and settle," Lambert replied.

"Well, we'll have to be hittin' the breeze for the depot in a little
while. Are you ready?"

"No. Changed my mind; I'm going to stay."

"Goin' in pardners with Vesta?"

"Pardners."
