York Neil came toward them from the house. It was plain from his manner he had a joke up his sleeve. "You're wanted, Phil," he announced. "Wanted where?" "You got a visitor in there," Neil said, with a grin and a jerk of his thumb toward the house. "Came blundering into the draw sorter accidental-like, but some curious. So I asked him if he wouldn't light and stay a while.
I got shaved at a little place in Gray's Inn Road after disposing of my wig and beard elsewhere, you know; and I bought this rig-out at two different places in Holborn. Then I breakfasted at a coffee-stall and came on here. They'll only just have found out that I've gone by now if indeed so soon unless they have found it out accidental-like."
Dishart just drops in to the kirk some day, accidental-like, and offers up a bit prayer?" "As for the rain," Spens said, triumphantly, "I wouldna wonder though it's here afore the minister. You canna deny, Peter Tosh, that there's been a smell o' rain in the air this twa hours back." "John," Peter said agitatedly, "dinna speak so confidently.
"They didn't find them themselves," growled Tom, as if determined on finding consolation in that fact; "they've stumbled onto 'em accidental-like, and then rid off, as though they were smart enough to be reg'lar hoss-thieves." "Have you seen the trail?" asked Dick. "Yes." "Whereaway does it lead?"
What with the dreadful state of morals nowadays and them stories in the circulating libraries, innocent girls don't know into what society they might be obliged to take situations. Never saw missus's marriage certificate, though I have quite accidental-like looked in her desk when open, and would have seen it. Do not know of any lovers missus might have had.
I am well aware that it is not for the lowest of the low to carry a gentleman's brolly, and I ask your ladyship's pardon for the liberty. I come by it accidental-like, and should be glad of a reasonable offer from any gentleman in want of a honest article." As he spoke two gentlemen, much in want of the article, as their clinging wet coats showed, ran through the gateway and made for the chalet.
My God, if I want to get an extra hand for my business I pay Union wages, of course I have to arrange to get him here secretly. I have to go out and meet him, accidental-like, down the line, and if the Unions find out that he is coming, they, like as not, order him back East, or turn him down across the Border. 'Even if he has his Union ticket? Why?
"Yer min' dat boy Berry, he'd done borrered our mule, jest afo' dat, ter take Sally an' de chillen an' what few duds dey hez down inter Hanson County, whar his brudder Rufe libs, an' whar dey's gwine ter libbin' tu. Dar didn't nobody 'spect him ter git back till de nex' day, any more'n Nimbus; an' it war jes kinder accidental-like dat either on 'em got h'yer dat night.
But I couldn't figger Doctor Kirby would of done none. So that night after the show I says to him, innocent-like: "Doctor Kirby, what is a quest?" He looks at me kind of queer. "Wherefore," says he, "this sudden thirst for enlightenment?" "I jest run acrost the word accidental-like," I told him. He looks at me awful hard, his eyes jest natcherally digging into me.
So taking everything into consideration, I felt like as if I oughter be purty careful handling her on this trip. But she's all right. Probably nobody on this train, outside of you, knows there's anything wrong with her and it was accidental-like, so you tell me, the way you come to find out you taking that seat alongside her and getting into talk with her whilst I was in yonder smoking.
