He only nodded in answer to Mr.Merrick's instructions and was entirely disregarded by the remittance men.
The man called "Stubby," who had a round, good-humored face, stepped eagerly to Myrtle's side and exclaimed: "Let me assist you, please." "No," she said, shaking her head with a wan smile; "I am quite able to walk alone." He followed her, though, full of interest and with an air of deep respect that belied his former actions.

Tobey, content with his present success, walked beside Mr.Merrick and led the procession toward the ranch house.

The Major followed, his tall form upright, his manner bellicose and resentful, with Beth and Patsy on either side of him.

The remittance men followed in a straggling crowd, laughing and boisterously talking among themselves.
