The cancer got awful bad. I've saw a good many they're quite plentiful down this way. I never see a worse'n hers. She didn't have no money. Up to the hospital they tried a new cure on her that made her gallopin' worse. The day before I was going to have to go to work and put her out she left." "Can't you give me any idea?" urged Susan. "She didn't take her things," said the janitress meaningly.
"Only, knights, you must give me a promise, for even in the midst of my army such is needful from men who can fly like birds out of the fortress of Masyaf and from the knives of the Assassins who are mounted, moreover, on the swiftest horses in Syria that have been trained to carry a double burden," and he looked at them meaningly.
Her gaiety was forced; her words were feigned. "Thee has passed the point of danger, thee is safe," he answered meaningly. "Is that because I am not deep, or because the plough has been at work?" she asked. "In neither case I am not sure you are right." "Thee is happily married," he said reflectively; "and the prospect is fair."
The position was anything but comfortable. It was a bright day, and a good many people were abroad, considering how quiet the street generally was. I felt as if everybody who passed was completely aware of my discomfiture. Not a nurse-maid went by with her charge who did not, to my distempered fancy, know my business, and look meaningly at me in appreciation of my position.
At any rate the sheriff and his deputies shifted meaningly in their saddles and came up sour-faced and grim, and with their guns out and pointing at the group. "Don't go making any foolish play, boys," the sheriff warned. "We don't want trouble we aren't looking for any. But we ain't taking any chances."
Vane, failing in another attempt to shake her resolution, dropped the subject, and soon afterward he and Carroll took their departure. They were sitting in their hotel, waiting for dinner, when Carroll looked up lazily from his luxurious chair. "What are you thinking about so hard?" he inquired. Vane glanced meaningly round the elaborately furnished room.
The word was "SNOOKS." Then she got up with a profound sigh, and went to bed. The next morning he said to her meaningly, "I shall hear of you through your friend." Mr. Snooks saw them off from Rome with that pathetic interrogative perplexity still on his face, and if it had not been for Helen he would have retained Miss Winchelsea's hold-all in his hand as a sort of encyclopaedic keepsake.
We don't mean them no harm: all they've got to do is to jyne in and share, for not a yard further do we go, messmates, till we've got to the bottom of that gold." "Then they'll sail without us." "No, they won't," said Jem meaningly; "for we shall want that there brig to take us back with all our gold." "Then there'll be a fight." "Very well then, my lads, we must fight.
"No, I haven't forgotten," observed Billy, meaningly. "Nor I nor anybody else," declared a severe voice both the words and the severity being most extraordinary as coming from the usually gentle Aunt Hannah. "Oh, well, never mind," spoke up Billy, quickly. "Everything's all right now, so let's forget it. She always meant it for kindness, I'm sure."
He looked at her curiously and the cruelty deepened in his eyes. "Shall I tell you what they would do to him?" he said meaningly, with a terrible smile. She gave a cry and flung her arms over her head, hiding her face. "Oh, do not! Do not!" she wailed. He jerked the ash from his cigarette. "Bah!" he said contemptuously. "You are squeamish."
