Ef you-uns — feel like hit, hit would be a good igee to run over yourn.”’ Which we did with the result of securing one otter, four weasels, three foxes, a coon and an idea that trapping was not bad after all, but the latter was demolished after Sammy had initiated us into the science of skinning them.
