"Is it a good cow?" asked Allee, timidly. "The very best." "Gentle, like Bossy?" Cherry questioned. "Gentle as a lamb." "Does she give four gallons of milk a day?" Peace interrupted. "More, sometimes." "Is she pretty?" "Handsome as a picture." "Does she give good milk, with lots of cream? We make our own butter, you know." "She's a splendid butter cow."
So, with much puffing, and many stops for breath, they dragged the fruit through the cornfield to the creek road, scrambled in behind the dense brush and blackberry vines, and began to dispose of the sweet, juicy center. "Let's eat one-half all up 'fore we begin the other," proposed Allee, who seemed to have some doubts as to the capacity of her stomach. "All right," Peace agreed.
"Me covee allee samee pletty quickee, so be." Hop did cover it, too; and then, folding his arms, he looked at Roche and remained silent for a moment. "Search me, somebody," said the latter, looking around. "Here, Sam! He bet that the jack of hearts was in my bootleg again. You look and see." "All right, Cap," answered the miner.
Pierre and Guillaume followed the Allee de Longchamp as far as the road going from Madrid to the lakes. Then they took their way under the trees, alongside the little Longchamp rivulet. They wished to reach the lakes, pass round them, and return home by way of the Maillot gate.
And Contenson related Nucingen's meeting with Esther, adding that the Baron had now some further information. "All right," said Peyrade, "we will find his Dulcinea; tell the Baron to come to-night in a carriage to the Champs-Elysees the corner of the Avenue de Gabriel and the Allee de Marigny." Peyrade saw Contenson out, and knocked at his daughter's rooms, as he always knocked to be let in.
With a dexterity, quickness, and audacity which the young men did not foresee, Max slapped the face of the officer nearest to him, saying, "Do you understand French?" They fought near by, in the allee de Frapesle, three against three; for Potel and Renard would not allow Max to deal with the officers alone. Max killed his man.
I can run the fastest of the bunch outdoors. Jud says I'm a racer, all right. Did I get the prize for talking the most this noon? Gail and Faith and all of them think I ought to have it that is, Allee and me. We went together and saw the same things, though I did do all the telling." The President laughed. "Yes, I believe you and Allee won the prize all right.
"Oh, Peace," gasped Allee at last, stumbling blindly over sticks and stones as her older sisters dragged her along between them, "my dress is coming off, and my breath is all in chunks. Do we have to run the whole way?"
He met no one in the allée and that was well, for such as he are generally afraid of being seen by human beings. The mansion which he came to was a splendid, old-time structure with four great wings which inclosed a courtyard. On the east wing, there was a high arch leading into the courtyard. This far the boy ran without hesitation, but when he got there he stopped.
Her shoulders contracted, her teeth chattered, and that feeling of discomfort was to her as a signal for action. She took another allee of rose-bushes in flower to reach a point on the bank barren of vegetation, where was outlined the form of a boat.
