[...]

- Any case, Uncle Billy will likely be back with provisions in a day or two.

- Go check what we've gotten laid by in there, will you?

- Right away.

- What's this nonsense about Uncle Billy coming back with provisions? Why, you know darn well we'll never see him again.

- Sure I know, Mother, but don't let on to the kids. They'll find out the truth about all of us when they find out anything. And there's no good scaring them now.

- But they know he's gone and taken the mules.

- Yeah.

- Well, I told them I'd guessed he must have wandered from the camp and stampeded them accidentally.

- I told them he'd likely be back when he'd caught them again, if he ever did.

- And they believe that?

- Kids can believe anything.

- They don't have to believe that a man can be as mean and bad as that.

- Oh, that old...!

- Now, if you'll stop all this cussing, they'll believe what we seem to believe.
