"I'll be gettin' on me way, Bud," said he.
"Where to?"
"Home."
"What! Back t' Hermy? After she turned ye out?"
"But I—I got t' go somewheres—"
"Well, you stay right here with me, Kid; I'll fix ye up all right—"
"'S right, Kid!" nodded Soapy. "Bud'll fix ye all right, same as I said; we'll have in another bottle when that's empty!"
"What about your sister, Kid?" demanded M'Ginnis fiercely. "What about Hermy an' this swell guy? Are y' goin' t' sit around an' do nothin'?"
"But Geoff's goin' t' marry her."
