Chapter XI
“Well, fellers,” said Cheetim, “let’s pull up a second an’ licker. I reckon we’ve earned a drink.” They stopped their ponies and from five hip pockets came five pint bottles. “Here’s to the bride!” cried Cheetim, and they all laughed and drank, all except Luis, who had no bottle. “Here, kid,” said Cheetim, “hev a drink!”
