"Uh-uh. Let that rest. Mebby it's a good thing, anyhow. Got any money?"
"No, señor. I have use all."
"Where d' you eat?"
"I have buy the can and the crackers at the store."
"Can and crackers, eh? Bet you ain't had a square meal for a week. But we'll fix that. Here, go 'long and buy some chuck till I get organized."
"Gracias, señor. But I can pray better when I do not eat so much."
"Good Lord! But, that's some idee! Well, if wishin' and hopin' and such is prayin', I reckon Jim'll pull through. I reckon it's up to the missus now."
"Lorry is not come?"
"Nope. Couldn't get to him. When does the mail go out of this bone-hill?"
"I do not know. To-morrow or perhaps the next day."
