“Whale, ain’t no sense in us sittin here chattin round it- best we git a move on ‘for he sees us.” And just like that, he threw a home and good food, a Family, away. He moseyed on in and picked up a hefty bushel of some of her remaining furs, pulling them gently out to the front of her entrance. “You just show me where we headin’ and I’m righ’ behinja.”
