vf9-01 The log on which Lop-Ear was lying got adrift
vf9-02 This is a common experience with all of us
vf9-03 He considered the victory already his and stepped forward to the meat
vf9-04 It was not Red-Eye's way to forego revenge so easily
vf9-05 Whiz-zip-bang Lop-Ear screamed with sudden anguish
vf9-06 Cherokee identified himself with his instinct
vf9-07 They were less stooped than we, less springy in their movements
vf9-08 The Fire People, like ourselves, lived in caves
vf9-09 Ah, indeed
vf9-10 Red-Eye never committed a more outrageous deed
vf9-11 Poor little Crooked-Leg was terribly scared
vf9-12 Unconsciously, our yells and exclamations yielded to this rhythm
vf9-13 This is no place for you
vf9-14 He'll knock you off a few sticks in no time
vf9-15 Red-Eye swung back and forth on the branch farther down
vf9-16 So unexpected was my charge that I knocked him off his feet
vf9-17 Encouraged by my conduct, Big-Face became a sudden ally
vf9-18 The fighting had now become intermittent
vf9-19 They obeyed him, and went here and there at his commands
vf9-20 It was like the beating of hoofs
vf9-21 Why, doggone you all, shake again
vf9-22 Seventeen, no, eighteen days ago
vf9-23 You mean for this State, General, Alberta
vf9-24 He seemed to fill it with his tremendous vitality
vf9-25 She was trying to pass the apron string around him
vf9-26 Get down and dig in
vf9-27 They are greatly delighted with anything that is bright or giveth a sound
vf9-28 They only lifted seven hundred and fifty
vf9-29 It was simple, in its way, and no virtue of his
vf9-30 Is that Pat Hanrahan's mug looking hungry and willing
vf9-31 It was more like sugar
vf9-32 I'm sure going along with you all, Elijah
vf9-33 Here the explosion of mirth drowned him out
vf9-34 Fresh meat they failed to obtain
vf9-35 A burst of laughter was his reward
vf9-36 You don't catch me at any such foolishness
vf9-37 A month passed by, and Bonanza Creek remained quiet
vf9-38 They continued valiantly to lie, but the truth continued to outrun them
vf9-39 Earth and gravel seemed to fill the pan
vf9-40 But he no longer cared quite so much for that form of diversion
