Well, I am glad to see you, to be sure. The' ain't a soul ben by this day. Set down, do. You want to go in 'n' see Rejoice? Jest in a minute. I do think I shall have a sickness if I don't have some one to open my mind to. Now, Mis' Penny, where do you s'pose, where do you s'pose that child is?" Then, without waiting for a reply, she plunged headlong into the stream of talk.
I s'pose they jest nacherally evaporated durin' the night, maybe?" "Haines," said Silent sharply, "are you serious?" The latter nodded. "Then by God, Buck, you'll have to say a lot in a few words. Lee, you suspected him all the time, but I was a fool!" Daniels felt the colour leaving his face, but help came from the quarter from which he least expected it. "Jim, don't draw!" cried Haines.
Then, as if recollecting the part he was playing, he added: "I s'pose dey calls youse dat because youse rides so quick on dat machine. But I'm certainly obliged to youse Tom Swift, an' I hopes youse gits t' Albany, in Jersey, in good time." He turned away, and Tom was beginning to breathe more easily when the ragged man, with a quick gesture, reached out and grabbed hold of the motor-cycle.
Parker looked appealingly at his stricken hearer, then quickly dropped his eyes, for Gray's countenance was like that of a dying man or of a man suffering the stroke of a surgeon's knife. "After all, it's youth. You're a good deal older than 'Bob, and I s'pose you sort of dazzled her. She likes you. She thinks you're great.
Let 'er see you've got some spirit. Chaff 'er." "That's no good," said the young man, restlessly. "I've tried it. Only the other day I called her 'a saucy little kipper, and the way she went on, anybody would have thought I'd insulted her. Can't see a joke, I s'pose. Where is she now?" "Upstairs," was the reply. "That's because I'm here," said Mr. Sharp.
"Hello!" replied the assistant, shortly. He had been thinking once more, and his thoughts were not pleasant. "I s'pose you cal'late," began Atkins, "that maybe I've got a grudge against you on account of this mornin' and that 'Balm' and such. I ain't." "That's good. I'm glad to hear it." "Yes. After the fust dose of that stuff for thunder sakes WHAT did you put in it?
Well, I can't help it; I s'pose that shows where I really and truly belong, though I don't like short-haired women; it's so ugly, and they talk so loud very often. And there it is again; I dislike short hair 'cause of that, but Denis dislikes it 'cause it isn't done.
'Ah, said Sam, 'I should ha' s'posed that; but what I mean is, should you like a drop of anythin' as'd warm you? but I s'pose you never was cold, with all them elastic fixtures, was you? 'Sometimes, replied the boy; 'and I likes a drop of something, when it's good. 'Oh, you do, do you? said Sam, 'come this way, then!
I s'pose I must 'a' put it in my pocket-book, the same as usual; but I rode home in a sort of a maze, I was so tired and drowsy, and I'd barely sense enough to eat my supper and grease my boots afore I went to bed. I had a bill to pay the next day, and I opened my pocket-book, quite confident, to take out the check. It wasn't there.
'S'pose it ain't, replied Harry with a grin; 'but they all seem to come your way somehow. Look here it can't matter now tell me how you came to be in the Stream drive that night? Dick kicked up a tuft of grass, bored one heel into the soft turf, and answered nothing. 'Come on, old man, I won't turn dog. 'I'm goin' to tell it to Detective Downy first. 'Twasn't nothin' much anyhow.
