'There, boys; what do you think of that for a hunting suit? Real old pioneer style. Tanned the buckskin and made it all myself - belt, hatband , and all.'
'You sit there, Shorty, an' watch the runway, an' we'll put a deer to you inside a half hour. There's a shower a comin' an' you're goin' to git that there pine-ear suit wet.1
'Don't you worry about this suit, Mike, it's waterproof.'
'Really, I didn't believe it could rain so hard. I am afraid these clothes are not altogether waterproof after all ! I'll strike for camp as soon as the sun comes out.'
'I had no idea buckskin was so very absorbent. These garments are very heavy, and I may add, rather slimy.'
'I'm afraid I made some slight mistake in the tanning of this buckskin; it really seems to be shrinking.'
'This thing is getting serious.'
'Help ! ! Mike! Pete! Help me out ! ! ! '
'Keep as still as you kin, Shorty, an' holler if I cuts yer.'
'Look-a-here, Shorty, if that pine-ear suit o' your'n keeps on a-shrinkin', by the time it's dead dry there won't be enough of it left to sole a boot.!'
