Burn Sanderson Quotes in Old Yeller
I didn't wait to hear any more. I ran off. I was so full of relief that I was about to pop. I knew that if I didn't get out of sight in a hurry, this Burn Sanderson was going to catch me crying.
"You're not scared, are you, boy? I'm only telling you because I know your papa left you in charge of things. I know you can handle whatever comes up. I'm just telling you to watch close and not let anything—anything—get to you or your folks with hydrophobia. Think you can do that?"
I swallowed. "I can do it," I told him. "I'm not scared."
The sternness left Burn Sanderson's face. He put a hand on my shoulder, just as Papa had the day he left.
"Good boy," he said. "That's the way a man talks."
