• Everybody yelled at him and laughed at him and sassed him, and he sassed back, and said he d attend to them and lay them out in their regular turns, but he couldn t wait now because he d come to town to kill old colonel sherburn, and his motto was, " meat first, and spoon vittles to top off on .
  大家朝他吼叫，笑他，对他说些下流话，他也用同样的话回敬人家。他还说，他要按计划收拾他们，一个个要他们的命，只是现在还没有工夫，因为他到镇上来，是要杀死歇朋上校这个老东西的，并且他的信条是：“先吃肉，临完了再来几勺果子汤。”
