Read it through once

“Greenhorns, flatheads! _I_ knew the first house would keep mum and let the rest of the town get roped in; and I knew they’d lay for us the third night, and consider it was _their_ turn now. Well, it _is_ their turn, and I’d give something to know how much they’d take for it. I _would_ just like to know how they’re putting in their opportunity. They can turn it into a picnic if they want to—they brought plenty provisions.”
