"Wait a minute, Bud ... I'm coming." I gave a run toward a barrel, sent
it a violent kick, a succession of kicks....
"Wait a minute! I'm coming!"
"So am I!" grinned Black Jim belligerently, thinking I meant him and
advancing slowly and surely.
The barrel burst asunder, the beer sumped and gurgled about my ankles as
I stooped and picked up a stave.
"The damn fool's ruined a whole keg."
