"What's the use of my playing like a midsummer zephyr when Just's sawing away like mad on the bass?" she retorted. The first violin smiled pleasantly on the little group. "Let's try it again," she suggested, "and see if we can please John Lansing better."
Now a copper-smith exposed his wares, chief among which were the graceful-shaped conche or water-vessels, the same you see so carefully poised on the heads of so many black-eyed Italian girls, going to or coming from so many picturesque fountains, in paintings, and all wearing such brilliant costumes, as you find at Gigi's costume-class.
"Oh, don't bother me," snapped the one addressed as Mollie. She was black-haired and black-eyed, was Mollie Billette, with a little touch of French blood in her veins that accounted for her restless vivacity and sometimes peppery temper. "You've made me drop a stitch, Amy Blackford, and if anybody else speaks to me for the next five minutes, I'll eat 'em."
The toy department would be enough to make any little girl or boy happy even to look at it. There are toys large and toys small; engines that can be wound up to run by themselves; horses large enough to ride upon; balls of all colours and sizes; and dolls oh, the dolls! Dolls black-eyed and brown-eyed and blue-eyed, dolls fair-haired and brown-haired, dolls dressed and undressed.
"I'll get you yet, you little vix," he said; "you pretty little black-eyed vix, you; I'll get you yet. "Like hell you will." "If you change your mind, come out on the eight-eighteen, girlie. Two blocks to the left of the station; the corner house with a little weather-cock over the porch. Can't miss it. I'll be drapin' the tree in tin fringe and wishing you were there."
"'I'll make a bond to that effect, I said solemnly. "Jud went off thoughtful. In a week or so he come back. He hung aroun' a while an' said: "'I was up in the country the other day, an' do you kno' I saw a dead match for yo' black? Only a little slicker an' better lookin' same star an' white hind foot. As nigh like him as one black-eyed pea looks like another.
"'We might have some beer, anyway, mildly suggested Pearl, and a flying waiter took the order. "'I guess we can pick up something on the boat, remarked Ruby; who, by the way, was good to look at a black-eyed lass with regular features and lots of pink and white complexion. Pearl, languidly sipping her beer, nodded in the affirmative.
I believe we met once before several years ago." "I think so myself," replied Mr. Schryhart, who was broad-shouldered, square-headed, black-eyed, and with a short black mustache gracing a firm upper lip. He had hard, dark, piercing eyes. "I see by the papers, if they can be trusted," he said, coming direct to the point, "that you are interesting yourself in local gas. Is that true?"
Tom Reed liked Dan and thought, of course, that matters were settled between him and his black-eyed daughter. He felt to-day like telling this young aristocrat from the Pine Tree Ranch that it would be agreeable to both himself and Jane if he would seek other company. Only physical weakness kept him from following as Jane walked away by Job's side patting Bess' neck.
"You are Ruth Fielding." She was a brilliant, black-eyed, vivacious girl, perhaps a year or more older than Ruth, and really handsome, having her brother's olive complexion with plenty of color in cheeks and lips. And that her nature was impulsive and frank there could be no doubt, for she immediately leaped out of the automobile, when it had stopped, and ran to embrace Ruth.
