I sat there with bent head, and felt myself going to pieces. Cummings was right I was no fit man to handle this job. My personal feelings were too deeply involved. It was Worth's voice that recalled me. "Cheer up, Jerry, old man. Take it to Bobs." Take it to Bobs the idea of a big, husky old police detective running to cast his burden on such shoulders! I couldn't quite do it then.
Speaks English, too. Understood every word!" None of Husky's mates had any skill in surgery. Like men in the flush of their strength, they refused to harbour the thought of injury or disease, and had come to the wilderness ill provided. Jack, lacking antiseptics or healing medicaments, bound up the shoulder roughly. They laid Husky on the bed and endeavoured to forget him.
Poor Jacob; the tears filled his eyes his chest heaved he crushed his cap out of all shape between his fingers then he spoke, at first with difficulty, and then in a husky voice, "Oh, captain, I'm afraid you'll think I'm very ungrateful. I don't know which way to turn. You've been very good to me, and I couldn't for shame leave you. I'd be proud to serve you to the last day of my life.
But I don't need it more 'n a cat needs two tails. Jus' bought it to be a-doin'. So I've concluded to call the bargain off, and buy some land later on. The the youngster can have the little pile I've got." For a moment no one spoke. Then the little girl put out her arms, and the biggest brother drew her to him. "That's the way we've settled it," he said. His voice was husky, his eyes overflowing.
"Once more," as the light grew stronger on her face, "will you look down into your heart that you have given to this great work, and tell me what you see there? Dare you do it, Margret?" "I dare do it," but her whisper was husky. "Go on." He watched her more as a judge would a criminal, as she sat before him: she struggled weakly under the power of his eye, not meeting it.
Oh, town, I leave you for a week, your burdens and your duties! The country calls me I must seek its glories and its beauties! Reality Gee whiz! I'd give a million bones to be back home a-sleeping! My shoes are full of burs and stones, and I am tired of weeping. Last night I sought a stack of hay, where slumber's fetters bound me, and at the cold, bleak break of day a husky farmer found me.
Easton and I had just squatted close to the fire to warm our benumbed hands when the husky dogs put their noses in the air and gave out the long weird howl of welcome or defiance that announces the approach of other dogs, and almost immediately a loaded team with two men came over the hill and down the slope at a gallop toward us.
She forgot her own wrongs and the burnt book; her heart was filled with a wild fear, a dreary sense of coming desolation seized her, and clasping her mother's long thin fingers in her own brown strong hands, she bent down and whispered in a husky voice, "Mother oh, mother!" The woman looked up and smiled. "You've come back, Bet?" she said. "Give me a drop of the cordial. I'm glad you've come back.
However, in the case of Donald, who is a husky athlete, I should place the odds at about ten to one that he'll survive an attack of even more than moderate severity. That is," he added, "under the most favorable conditions." "Well, what's wrong with the conditions in this case?" The Laird demanded crisply.
A man in a shabby overcoat, with a shaven, bluish-crimson countenance, overtook us. He had a bottle under his arm and a parcel of sausage was sticking out of his pocket. "Where is the grave of Mushkin, the actor?" he asked us in a husky voice. We conducted him towards the grave of Mushkin, the actor, who had died two years before. "You are a government clerk, I suppose?" we asked him.
