"Good idea, Sun. But I guess you'll miss it yourself."
"I dunno. Neeter ain't lookin' at it as much as she used to. She's busy lookin' after leetle Bill—and me. 'Course I can get another one took most any time."
"Make it two and give me one," said Corliss.
"You ain't joshin'?"
"No. I'll hang it in the office."
"Then she gets took—immediate."
Chance, who stood watching the two men, rose and wagged his tail.
Chance never failed to recognize that note in his master's voice. It meant that his master was pleased, enthusiastic, happy, and Chance, loyal companion, found his happiness in that of his friends.
"Well," said Sundown, "I reckon I got to be joggin'. Thanks for the check."
Corliss waved his hand. "I'll step over to the gate with you. Thought perhaps you'd stay and see Billy."
