"Curley’s pretty handy. He done quite a bit in the ring. He’s a lightweight, and he’s handy." 
 "Well, Curley’s pretty handy," the swamper said skeptically. "Never did seem right to me. S'pose Curley jumps a big guy an’ licks him. Ever’body says what a game guy Curley is. And s’pose he does the same thing and gets licked. Then ever’body says the big guy oughtta pick somebody his own size, and maybe they gang up on the big guy. Never did seem right to me. Seems like Curley ain’t givin’ nobody a chance." ]]> 2020-09-24 16:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/3801750/su53sfgtk00r07y3/wish/776428598 3801750 https://padlet.com/3801750/su53sfgtk00r07y3/wish/776429156  "I seen her give Slim the eye.

 A girl was standing there looking in. She had full, rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages. She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on the insteps of which were little bouquets of red ostrich feathers. ]]> 2020-09-24 16:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/3801750/su53sfgtk00r07y3/wish/776429156 3801750 https://padlet.com/3801750/su53sfgtk00r07y3/wish/776430480 2020-09-24 16:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/3801750/su53sfgtk00r07y3/wish/776430480 3801750 https://padlet.com/3801750/su53sfgtk00r07y3/wish/776431258  under his arm while he combed his long, black, damp hair straight back. Like the others he wore blue jeans and a short denim jacket. When he had finished combing his hair he moved into the room, and he moved with a majesty only achieved by royalty and master craftsmen. He was a jerkline skinner, the prince of the ranch, capable of driving ten, sixteen, even twenty mules with a single line to the leaders. He was capable of killing a fly on the wheeler's butt with a bull whip without touching the mule. There was a gravity in his manner and a quiet so profound that all talk stopped when he spoke. His authority was so great that his word was taken on any subject, be it politics or love. This was Slim, the jerkline skinner. His hatchet face was ageless. He might have been thirty-five or fifty. His ear heard more than was said to him, and his slow speech had overtones not of thought, but of understanding beyond thought. His hands, large and lean, were as delicate in their action as those of a temple dancer.
