Woodward, adding some suggestion as to its cause. "Expectant attention," was Woodward's reply. I found in the basement of the house an apparatus which had been brought over by a Mr. Jennings from Baltimore, which was designed to cool the air of dairies or apartments. It consisted of an iron box, two or three feet square, and some five feet long.
Jennings, sagaciously smiling, as soon as the gentleman had withdrawn, "I do not ask you what the Colonel has been saying to you; for though, upon my honour, I tried to keep out of hearing, I could not help catching enough to understand his business. And I assure you I never was better pleased in my life, and I wish you joy of it with all my heart." "Thank you, ma'am," said Elinor.
It is also quite certain, I think, that there would have been an extensive slough, from the severity of the bruise. This was doubtless prevented by the application of the caustic. J. Jennings, bricklayer, aged 26, fell through the roof of a house and bruised and lacerated his shin rather severely to the extent of an inch and half in one part and in several other places in a less degree.
"Yes, but it's the last time," said Jennings, who refused to smile. "We can't give this the go-by." "Oh, well, now, neighbor Jennings, you mustn't take it too hard; you know these men are good capable men." "They are capable enough," put in Deering, "but we want a change." "Then make it," laughed Russell, good-naturedly defiant. "We will make it, bet y'r boots," said Amos Ridings.
Godfrey Ablewhite was away travelling on the Continent. It was simply impossible to reassemble the people who had inhabited the house, when I had slept in it last. The statement of this objection did not appear to embarrass Ezra Jennings.

"What?" exclaimed the Methodist. "Why, that can't be!" "Yes, it is," persisted the Baptist.
"Yes, that's Nick Jennings," replied Frank. "Used to work on the Circle Ranch, but he got his walking papers because he was caught stealing from the other men. He's got a grudge against me because I'm a Haywood. But Nick likes a joke as well as any cowboy; and who could keep a straight face after seeing what happened here?
"Well, I will give you the next dance, or, what will be nicer, I will sit it out with you. Ah, here is my partner. "I am afraid I have made a mistake, Mr. Jennings, and have got my card mixed up. Do you mind taking the thirteenth dance instead of this? I shall be very much obliged if you will." Her partner murmured his assent. "Thank you," Frank said, as she took his arm.
The result was that many of them burned and smarted under the ordeal. One of the victims went so far as to propose that this self-appointed censor of public characters should be fought with his own weapons, and have a taste of his own nasty physic. In a word it was suggested that someone should draw Mr. H.J. Jennings' portrait on his own lines after his own manner. Mr.
"I wonder if they would do the work," Bruce murmured to himself thoughtfully. "What interest would I have in tellin' you if they wouldn't?" Jennings demanded. "I didn't mean that the way it sounded," Bruce assured him quickly. "I was thinking that if they would do the work and I could save something on the price of machinery I'd sure breathe easier." "Do the work!" scornfully.
