Halaman 158 - For the last time o' asking, Dan, do not," I says. "It'll only bring us harm. The Bible says that Kings ain't to waste their strength on women, 'specially when they've got a new raw Kingdom to work over.
Halaman 123 - And they both laughed almost as loudly as the machinery roared, and mopped their foreheads.
