There was a feller here once by the name of jim smily, in the winter of ’49 — or maybe it was the spring of ’50 — i don’t recollect exactly, somehow, though what makes me think it was one or the other is because i remember the big flume wasn’t finished when he first come to the camp; but anyway, he was the curiosest man about always betting on anything that turned up you ever see, if he could get anybody to bet on the other side, and if he couldn’t he’d change sides — any way that suited the other man would suit him — any way just so’s he got a bet, he was satisfied. (1) but still, he was lucky — uncommon lucky; he most always come out winner. (2) he was always ready and laying for a chance; there couldn’t be no solitary thing mentioned but what that feller’d offer to bet on it — and take any side you , as i was just telling you; if there was a horse race, you’d find him flush or you’d find him busted at the end of it; if there was a dog-fight, he’d bet on it; if there was a cat-fight, he’d bet on it; if there was a chicken-fight, he’d bet on it; why if there was two birds setting on a fence, he would bet you which one would fly first — or if there was a camp-meeting he would be there regular to bet on parson walker, which he judged to be the best exhorter about here, and so he was, too, and a good man; if he even see a straddle-bug start to go anywheres, he would bet you how long it would take him to get wherever he was going to, and if you took him up he would foller that straddle-bug to mexico but what he would find out where he was bound for and how long he was on the road. (3) lots of the boys here has seen that smily and can tell you about him. (4) why, it never made no difference to him — he would bet on anything — the dangdest feller. (5) parson walker’s wife laid very sick, once, for a good while, and it seemed as if they warn’t going to save her; but one morning he come in and smily asked him how she was, and he said she was considerable better — the lord for his infinite mercy — and coming on so smart that with the blessing of providence she’d get well yet — and smily, before he thought, says, ‘well, i’ll resk two-and-a-half that she don’t, anyway.’

in the words from the first sentence, i don't recollect exactly, what does recollect mean?
a) to recover
b) to remember
c) to collect again
d) to gather together
