Scroggie staggered back, recovered his balance, and threw himself on the defensive in time to block Billy's well-aimed right to the neck.,"I knows es you wor at that devilry," he said, nervously. "When you claps your eyes on me I gets afeard."，“It’s good we fixed up this door and put this bolt on,” Bob heard Wesley remark as the bar fell into place. “Now both of us can go back to the ranch so’s it won’t look suspicious.

"Oh, it wasn't much," says the young man, easily; "and he needn't have cut up so rough about it.
