There is only one other person besides yourself and myself who can do what you are doing now, though." "That's one on you, Tom," laughed the man named Jack. "Quit roasting the kid. We'd have been mired yet if it hadn't been for him." "Oh," she cried miserably, "what haven't you done, Tom Wilson?

I've kept him shut up a lot an' what with feedin' on meat an' rich stuff that old swamp coon was playfuller than usual, I guess.
