Will the branching path, that may give her a chance of escaping a further tete-a-tete with him, never be reached?,“Gee, if the Greasers struck it would tie us up for fair,” broke in Bob anxiously. “Except for the mechanics, and that bunch of Indians from the reservation, they are about all we’ve got. We would have to shut down, wouldn’t we?”,“It’s a dark outlook here for the young gentleman,” said Carlstrom. “The horse’s wind is broken.”,“Humph! It’s very likely that they paid their respects to such a great man as you!” said Olea.,There was a murmur of assent and Elinor rose quickly.，Not far behind the democrat came a light buggy drawn by a team of greys.

Here Billy paused. "You go on, Anse," he said. "I'm goin' over to the menagerie fer a look over things. An' see here." He grabbed his brother's shoulder and swung him about.
