I ain't lookin' for Gary even if he did shoot down Pop Annersley nor I ain't tryin' to keep out of his way. I'm ridin' this country and I'm like to meet up with him 'most any time. That's all." "Shucks, Pete! You forget Gary. He sure ain't worth gettin' hung for. Gary ain't goin' to put you down so long as you ride for the Concho. He knows somebody 'd get him.
Gary chose three tennis balls and retired to a corner of the room; Gray and Flint, urged into action, took three each, unwillingly. "Blow out the candle," said Carfax, who had walked into the middle of the room. Gary blew it out and the place was in darkness. They thought they heard Carfax moving cautiously, and presently he called, "Cuckoo!"
What are you doing?" Daisy started. "We are studying English history, aunt Gary." "History, my dear? And what is all this muss, and these red and black spots? does your mamma allow this in the library?" "Just the place to study history, I am sure, mamma," said Preston; "and you cannot have less muss than this where people are fighting.
"Your friend Miss St. Clair, is here, Daisy," my aunt Gary said. "My friend!" I repeated. "She is your friend," said mamma. "She has bound up the wounds you have made, Daisy, and saved you from being in the full sense a destroyer of human life." "When did Faustina come here?" I asked. "She has been here a month. Are you glad?" "She was never a particular friend of mine, mamma."
He don't have to pay dues to any labor union, he don't have to worry about strikes or strike benefits, he don't give a whoop what Gompers or anybody else says about Gary, and he don't care a darn whether the working man gets his beer or whether the revenue officers get it. He " "Wait a second, please. Just as a matter of curiosity, Cassius, I'd like to know what your views are on prohibition."
I think people often get sick for want of something to think of." How sure I felt, as I went up to bed that night, that no such easy cause of sickness would be mine for long years to come! The next day we were to go to Magnolia. It was a better day than I expected. Preston kept me with him, away from Aunt Gary and my governess; who seemed to have a very comfortable time together.
Aunt Gary was busy making visits, I think. There was a beautiful walk by the sea, which I liked best of all; and when it was not too cold my greatest pleasure was to sit there looking over the dark waters and sending my whole soul across them to that unknown spot where my father and mother were. "Home," that spot was to me.
The expedition, which was under the command of Brigadier-General Anderson, consisted of four companies of regulars, under command of Major Robe; the First Regiment California Volunteers, Colonel Smith; the First Regiment Oregon Volunteers, Colonel Summers; a battalion of fifty heavy artillery, Major Gary; about 100 sailors, and eleven naval officers.
"Didn't you gradually grow into the belief that she was a sort of saint, Daisy?" "What is a saint, Mr. McFarlane?" Gary at that wheeled partly round, and stroked his chin and moustache with the most comical expression of doubt and confusion. "I declare I don't know, Daisy! I think it means a person who is too good for this world, and therefore isn't allowed to live here.
All along the verandah I noticed that the green blinded long windows made other entrances for whoever chose them. The door was open for us already, and within was a row of dark faces of men and women, and a show of white teeth that looked like a welcome. I wondered aunt Gary did not say more to answer the welcome; she only dropped a few careless words as she went in, and asked if dinner was ready.
