o'clock
The sheriff could be pretty blunt , and he shot the charge straight , without any quibbling . Luck looked a little blank ; and old Applehead , shaking with a very real anger now , shoved Luck away and stepped up where he could shake his fist under the sheriff 's nose . `` We do n't know , and we do n't give a cuss , what you 're aimin ' at , '' he thundered . `` We been out here workin ' in this brilin ' sun sense nine o'clock this mornin ' . Luck ai n't robbed no bank , ner he ai n't the kind that DOES rob banks , and I 'm here to see you swaller them words ` fore I haul ye off 'n that horse and plumb wear ye out ! Yuh wanta think twicet ` fore ye come ridin ' up where I kin hear yuh call Luck Lindsay a thief , now I 'm tellin ' ye ! If a bank was robbed , ye better be gittin ' out after them that done it , and git outa the way uh that camery sos ' t we can git t ' work !
