I never did hit a man with a double-jack in my life, and I guess I've put down ten miles uh holes, ma'am, if you placed 'em end to end.

I always made it my brag I never scraped a knuckle at that game.

But--them little hands of yours on the drill--I was shakin' all over for fear I might--hurt yuh.

I-- I never hated anything so bad in my life--I'd ruther kill a dozen men than hurt you--" "Man alive," the Little Woman exclaimed softly from her dusky corner, "you'd never have hurt me in the world, if I'd had the nerve to trust you." And she added softly, "I'll trust you, from now on, Casey Ryan.
Always." I think Casey was an awful fool to walk out and never let her know that he heard that "Always.".
