"Some of the 'Grass and Asphalt' sketches are wonders; some not so good. I am going to try out 'Doggy' if I can find a poodle with enough intelligence to support me. But you need not have been so mysterious, Doc, about your 'young amateur writer who seems to have some talent. Did you think I would not know it was David? Why, bless your dear, silly heart, I told him some of those stories myself.
Ef I could thess reach somethin' to knock with! I daresn't lif' my foot, less'n the whole business'd fall through. Oh, doc'! Here he comes now Doctor, I say, don't you think maybe he's covered up too How's she, doctor? "Thess the same," you say? 'n' she don't know yet about him? "In a couple o' hours," you say? Well, don't lemme keep you, doctor.
When we came to make the change of position mentioned above, more than half the horses were unable to take a single step. One of the drivers, Fuller, was lying on the ground, his head toward the enemy. A shell entered the crown of his head and exploded in his body! Not long after this I heard some one calling me, and, looking back, I saw 'Doc' Montgomery prostrate.
"But what d'you mean?" "It would be a long story the scientific explanation." "Doc, where Dan is concerned I got more patience than Job." "In brief, then, I will prove to you that there is no mystery in this Daniel Barry." "If you can do that, doc, you're more of a man than I been guessing you for. Start now!"
If you can't make it, turn tail quick, and we'll think of something else." Southport seemed normal enough as Doc drove through its streets. The stereo house was open, and the little shops were brightly lighted. He stopped once to pull a copy of Southport's little newspaper from a dispenser. All was quiet on its front page, too. As usual, though, the facts were buried inside.
"No," the Flopper answered, circling his lips with his tongue again. "No; I ain't seen de Doc since but I seen Pale Face. Say, Helena" the Flopper's words came stumbling out now, agitated, perturbed, not altogether coherent "wot's de answer I dunno; I dunno wot's de matter here.
Gilman began suddenly, in a very quiet voice, frowning benevolently at the black pointer on the compass. "But, of course, you know my great enemy." "No, I don't," said Audrey gently. "Hasn't Doc told you?" "Doctor Cromarty? No, he doesn't tell much." "Well," said Mr. Gilman, looking round quickly and shyly, rather in the manner of a boy, "it's liver."
"Doc, that thar chap yo' once sent down here thar war a lot to him us-all didn't catch onter." And Brace was thinking of the night, long, long ago, when Conning threw some letters upon the glowing coals and groaned! They were home at last in old William Truedale's quiet house. Conning went upstairs with Ann.
I feel all right myself; but ev'ry time I talks about getting a shift on like, ole Doc gets busy with his water-diviner 'breathe in breathe out' and then he says, 'Say "Ah-h-h." Then he thumps away wid his fingers. I reckon I'm about as chuberculer as a young gum-tree, but the ole Doc he just says 'Carry on for a while longer and then we'll see." Mick looked as fit as a two-year-old.
This was quietly effected through the cooperation of the family physician, who successfully drugged poor "Doc" into pacific inertness. He was legally committed to an institution empowered to use constructive restraint, and for four months benefited by the only wholesome training his wretched life had ever known.
