FORE:Cadnan meditated on this new fact for a short time. Then Dara spoke again."Well, if he's a feller-creature o' mine," returned the sprightly Maria, "the Lord made a slack-twisted job of him some dark night out o' remnants, and couldn't find no gumption to put in him. He gave him an alligator's appetite instid. And ain't I tryin' to save his life? Besides, I'm nearly dead to see Si. I want to be the first to see him."

FORE:Norma hesitated for a second. Then she burst out: "But they're so far away! I meanthere isn't any reason why they should really care. They're busy with their own lives, and I don't really see why whatever's done here should occupy them"

The men who had been shot were so faint from loss of blood that they could scarcely move, and the man whom Si had struck was only slowly recovering consciousness.
