What does Bishop think about it?" "Oh, Andy's quite sure Sandy didn't see him, ..." Tess explained, shaking her head. "Anyhow, it's no use to worry, honey," smiled Young. The next morning three men in a wagon passed the Kennedy farm. Ebenezer Waldstricker was driving and beside him sat Lysander Letts. Alone on the back seat sprawled the big sheriff, a half-smoked cigar between his teeth.
Letts, in confirmation. Miss Foster sighed, and, raising the hand which was round her waist, bent her head and kissed it. Mr. Letts colored, and squeezed her convulsively. Assisted by Mrs. Green he became reminiscent, and, in a low voice, narrated such incidents of his career as had escaped the assaults of the brain-fever.
For years it had been the custom of the fishermen to allow the subject of netting to remain undiscussed. They plied their trade, spent a term in prison if detected, and returned to again take up their occupation of catching and selling fish. Ben Letts knew he was venturing upon dangerous ground.
I says as how Myry air happy, Satisfied." "She were a-lovin' Ben Letts?" The pain in his clouded blue eyes stung Tess to the heart. The grief of this lonely old man, bereft of his all, seemed the most tragic spectacle she had ever faced. "Yep," she replied, trying to smile through her tears; "she were a-lovin' him, and were a-seekin' his lovin's all the time.
What are they? Sir Hu. We will deny none of her freinds to see her; They can intend noe rescue. Con. Noe, my life ont, sir: they come unarm'd. Sir Hu. Be still; letts see this misterie. Florish, Horrid Musike. Enter Death, Gri., and Furies. Gri.
A few minutes later, he followed. When he opened the door, Waldstricker greeted him. "Back again?" "Yep," chuckled Letts. "With news, I hope," stated the other. "Sure," replied Sandy. "Then tell me," answered Waldstricker, peremptorily. "I'm busy today." "Did ye ever hear anything of Bishop?" asked the squatter. "No, I never did." "Want to?" "Yes." "Air that reward up, yet?" "Certainly.
"A brother and sister are bound to get tired of each other before long; it's nature." Mr. Widden sighed and obeyed. But brother and sister showed no signs of tiring of each other's company, while they displayed unmistakable signs of weariness with his. And three weeks later Mr. Letts, in a few well-chosen words, kindly but firmly dismissed him.
The Red Russians or Ruthenians are quite different from the people of Little Russia, and they in turn are different from the people of Great Russia, to the north. The Baltic provinces are peopled, not by Russians, but by two million Germans, an equal number of Letts and a somewhat greater number of Lithuanians. North of Riga are to be found the Esthonians, cousins of the Finns.
I have much to say to you.... We have discovered the murderer of the gamekeeper. We have positive proof that it was not your father." Tess squatted on the floor, crossed her legs, and waited. "Who were it?" she asked presently, as if afraid to speak. "Ben Letts." "The damn bloke!" she ejaculated, a dangerous light gathering in her eyes. "And he were a-lettin' Daddy be hung for his own dirty work!
Tessibel contemplated the heavy face a moment. She was going to drive a hard bargain with Lysander if she had to drive any at all. "Ben used to make me awful mad teasin' for kisses," she exclaimed. "I told him an' I air tellin' you, Sandy, I ain't goin' to give any man my kisses less'n I marry him." Letts puffed out his chest and struck it with a loud resounding whack.
