In those days folks did their own work. Then there was time for everything. But the days are not as long as they used to be when I was young. Now there's no time for anything. "But Noel was a good man. He was handy, and amiable. He could lay a roof, or mend a thresher, it was all the same to him. What do you think, Jeminy? Anna Barly won't forget him in a hurry heh?" "No," said Mr.
The worthy man was astounded. "Heh? What? He is to marry Mme. Rosemilly?" "Yes, we meant to ask your opinion about it this very day." "Bless me! And has this engagement been long in the wind?" "Oh, no, only a very few days. Jean wished to make sure that she would accept him before consulting you." Roland rubbed his hands. "Very good. Very good. It is capital. I entirely approve."
On the silence it left, Worth spoke up quietly. "Bull's eye as usual, Bobs. Every word you say is true. And at the Gold Nugget, his name was Henry J. Brundage. He had room thirty on the top floor."

I met them in the stiff little waiting room of he hospital Norberg, Deming, Schmidt, Holt men who had known him from the time when they had yelled, "Heh, boy!" at him when they wanted their pencils sharpened.
"But, Monsieur le count," said Laurens to D'Estang, "the American officers say they are afraid you have given the English too long time to think."

De Engleesh tink, heh, Monsieur le colonel!

An' the other day Helen Ward, she give us a ride, in her autermobile while she was a-visitin' with the Interpreter up there." Jake Vodell's black brows were drawn together in a frown of disapproval. "So this Adam Ward's daughter, too, calls on the Interpreter, heh! Many people, it seems, go to this Interpreter."
Marylyn raised to her father a quick, warning finger. "It's in the Bible, pa," she whispered. "Heh?" "It's in the Bible." "Don' y' think Ah know?" Evan poked the fire cheerfully. He was fairly started in a conversation. "Thet Shadrach was a prophet, ef Ah recall it jes' right," he said tentatively. The evangelist shot him a sorrowful glance. "No, pa," whispered Marylyn again.
Then into the entry-room ran Rabin, one of the traveling salesmen. "Why, hul-lo, Wrenn! Wondered if that could be you. Back so soon? Thought you were going to Europe." "Just got back. Couldn't stand it away from you, old scout!" "You must have been learning to sass back real smart, in the Old Country, heh? Going to be with us again? Well, see you again soon. Glad see you back."
