"Wall," said the Deacon, again getting up, "that's settled, but I've drawn that cheque already. Mrs. Hooper and me talked the thing over," he added half apologetically, and as if to explain his unbusinesslike rashness; "an' she thinks we oughter go right now to Mr. Letgood as a sort of surprise party an' tell him what we hev decided that is, ef you're all agreed."
"Van Dorn told me to come," Owen Daw cried. "I'm big enough to buck a nigger." "I love him better than I ever loved A male," said Sorden, apologetically. "Who is t'other young offender?" "I'm a stranger to your parts," Levin replied. "Mrs. Cannon made me come. I didn't want to." "Are you afear'd?" "Yes," Levin said. "Well, I love the Captain better than I ever loved A male.
"I'd better get his gun away from him," Racey said, apologetically, over his shoulder, as he ran forward. But the old man would have none of him. He cunningly discerned an enemy in Racey and tried to shoot him. It was lucky for Racey that the old fellow was as drunk as a fiddler, or certainly Racey would have been buried the next day. As it was, the first bullet went wide by a yard.
"What have you got against him?" inquired Duane, as he sat down beside Euchre. He asked more for something to say than from real interest. What did he care about a mean, haunted, craven-faced criminal? "Wal, mebbe I'm cross-grained," replied Euchre, apologetically. "Shore an outlaw an' rustler such as me can't be touchy.
For an instant Aunt Betsy scanned him closely, thinking she surely had never seen him before, but as he seemed to claim acquaintance she could not find it in her kind heart to ignore him altogether, and so she grasped the offered hand, which she tried to shake, saying apologetically: "Pretty well, thank you, but you've got the better of me, as I don't justly recall your name."
I didn't like this one at all, but he talked so much that that I couldn't stay and hear him any longer. He makes me very nervous," he added, apologetically. "I suppose it is my fault, but ah he does, you know." "And do you mean to say that you took this this outrage because Raish Pulcifer talked you into it?" Galusha smiled sadly. "Well, he he talked me into it yes," he admitted.
It was there I first saw him, sitting on a low bench by the door, his plush cap in his hands, his bare feet tucked apologetically under the seat. After Mr. Shimerda discovered the Russians, he went to see them almost every evening, and sometimes took Antonia with him.
Katherine became almost at once so absorbed in the work for Dr. Braithwaite that she had very little time to spend with us. There was another reason for her absence, of which she spoke half apologetically one night, about a week after her arrival. "There's a girl in the room next mine who keeps me awake by her moaning," she said.
She gave a little cry of alarm. "Oh, no, I couldn't. There's mother...." He turned away with a little harsh laugh. "I see. Your mother and the twins," he said dryly. "They all come before me, who am only your husband." She looked at him with puzzled eyes, and, vaguely realizing that in some way he was hurt, she said apologetically: "But I've known you such a little time."
"'Oh, you're the khosaika, the hostess, replied the old crone. 'Eh, dear! Eh, deary, deary! My respects to you. I didn't know you were the khosaika. I saw an empty cottage here one day; it didn't seem to belong to any one, so, as I hadn't one myself, I just came in. "The old dame bustled about apologetically. "'Never mind, said I. 'Live on, live on. "'Live on, said Alexander Fed'otch.
