"'If you know anything about the locality, disposition, or secretiveness of this here Black Bill,' says he, in a severe dialect, 'you are amiable to the law in not reporting it.'
"'I heard a fence-rider say,' says I, in a desultory kind of voice, 'that a Mexican told a cowboy named Jake over at Pidgin's store on the Nueces that he heard that Black Bill had been seen in Matamoras by a sheepman's cousin two weeks ago.'
"'Tell you what I'll do, Tight Mouth,' says the captain, after looking me over for bargains. 'If you put us on so we can scoop Black Bill, I'll pay you a hundred dollars out of my own—out of our own—pockets. That's liberal,' says he. 'You ain't entitled to anything. Now, what do you say?'

Богдан зробив шикарнюче видання О.Генрі, в 12-ти збірках, саме в тому вигляді, як їх писав і видавав автор. От можуть же, якщо захочуть (бо збірки Рея Бредбері у Богдана вийшли геть не авторські, збірна солянка, ну то таке, все одно книжки Богдана любимо).

I continue to fill up the evening hours with the occasional audiobook of O. Henry’s short stories. The various collections of his stories are ideal for listening to while working around the house. They are easy to follow and, of course, his well-known propensity for the twist adds a pleasant note to
Brilliant and humorous writing from the early 20th century
OPTIONS was O. Henry’s last story collection published before his death. It wasn’t a strong finish for him. His weaknesses are on display, the first pages of the story authorial throat clearings that could be cut with no loss. Henry also indulges in his fondness for inside jokes. If you are a stude
