- Uncle Billy, the Duchess, and Mother Shepton... Starting out under escort at dawn.

- Mr. Oakhurst received his sentence with philosophic calmness.

- He was too much of a gambler not to accept his fate. With him, life was at best an uncertain game, and he recognized the usual percentage in favour of the dealer.

- Next morning, a body of armed men accompanied him and the rest of the deported wickedness of Poker Flat to the outskirts of the settlement.

- A cavalcade provoked no comments from the spectators, nor was any word uttered by the escort until they reached the gulch which marked the uttermost limit of Poker Flat.

- Well, that's your way, and I guess you don't need anyone to show you.

- If you ride hard, you'll be in Sandy Bar before dark. The rest is up to you.
