(That, o course, lacked a little of being the exact truth.
Lacked a few hours, in fact, because they did not reach Alpine
and the railroad until that afternoon, and were not remarried
until seven o'clock that evening.)
"No, no, no!" cried Lovin Child from a safe distance. "Tell a
worl' no, no!"
"I'll tell the world yes, yes!" Bud retorted ecstatically,
lifting his face again. "Come here, you little scallywag, and
love your mamma Marie. Cash, you old donkey, don't you get it
yet? We've got 'em both for keeps, you and me."
"Yeah--I get it, all right." Cash came and stood awkwardly
over them. "I get it--found my girl one minute, and lost her
again the next! But I'll tell yeh one thing, Bud Moore. The
kid's' goin' to call me grampaw, er I'll know the reason why!"
