"There is something bothering her," she said; "I wonder what it can be. I'll run and see; I'll bring word afterwards." She disappeared with little shouts under the trees. Nothing could ever make Dolly sad long. The other girls turned and looked at one another. "What in the world can it be?" said Florence. "Poor Kitty! how very white she turned as she read it."
The political and commercial aspects of the polyglot peoples, what they wanted, what they expected, what they needed; racial enmities. The bugaboo of the undesirable alien was no longer bothering official heads in Washington. Stringent immigration laws were in the making. What they wanted to know was an American's point of view, based upon long and intimate associations.
When he had gone, Mayor Poundstone declared to his secretary that without doubt Ogilvy was the livest, keenest fellow that had struck Sequoia since the advent of old John Cardigan. Half an hour later the Mayor's telephone-bell rang. Buck Ogilvy was on the line. "I beg your pardon for bothering you with my affairs twice in the same day, Mr.
Tell him frankly the position, and don't come bothering me with pretended wrongs and injuries." "Do you think I ought to tell him?" said she, slowly. "Certainly." She went away and wrote to Macleod; but she did not wholly explain her position. She only begged once more for time to consider her own feelings.

I know I had a dream-book then that I picked up in a shop in Bristol once when I was there on the Ranger, and all the young folks were beset to get sight of it.

But the tramps played on, smoked on. "Did you fellows ever hear of that famous man, Mr. A. Quick Expediter?" Tom asked the tramps. "No," growled one of them. "Expediter was a truly great man," Tom continued. "He had a motto.
"Blood on his hands!" In the silence that followed, the eyes of the men turned curiously toward the old woman and then sought each other with speculative stares. Mrs. Brenner, tortured by those long significant glances, said roughly. "That's Mart's mother. She ain't right! What are you bothering us for?" Dick Roamer put out a hand to plead for her, and tapped Munn on the arm.
And Mother used to say, "That's just the way your poor father used to go on! As if it wasn't enough to have to run the risk of being killed or wounded once or twice yourself, without bothering your head about battles you've nothing to do with."
'Oh, get out! interrupted the wealthy proprietor, brutally 'don't come bothering me with your distress and such humbug. I paid your husband more than he ought to have had giving two dollars a day to a fellow, when I now get the same work for thirty cents! If you're in distress, go to the Poor House, but don't come here again d'ye hear?
The situation was this: Ojen had written two novels which had been translated into German; now his nerves were bothering him; he could not be allowed to kill himself with work something had to be done to procure him a highly needed rest. He had applied for a government subsidy and had every expectation of receiving it; Paulsberg himself had recommended him, even if a little tepidly.
