"What you got to do with it, you Dago?"
"This," and he struck Tim in the face with the empty water bucket.
They fought in the sand path for about five minutes; when Luigi, throwing Tim face down, rubbed and bumped his head in the sand until Tim could scarcely breathe through his bleeding nose and his mouth choked with dust and sand.
When he said, "'nuff," Luigi let him up, and returned to the school house with a dirty, scratched face, but a full bucket of spring water.
"Luigi, what made you so long?"
"I fell down."
"Are you hurt?"
"No'm."
"Go down to the creek and wash your face."
"Yes'm."
