"I love the spring, precious," she answered, smiling. "Now come and get your cap and the lunch Harriet has packed for you. I believe Mr. Nelson is going to walk out to the car with you. Where are you going to meet the other boys?" "At the corner," replied Sunny Boy, snatching up his cap and struggling into his sweater as he heard Oliver's whistle.
The rain had chilled the air, so he reached into the drawer under the amidships bunks, took out a sweat shirt, and pulled it over his head. It felt good. Scotty had taken time to dry off the books and binoculars he had brought from the deck before he changed his own clothes. By the time he was dressed in dry shorts and sweater, Rick had the alcohol stove going and water heating for coffee.
Ted cried, "Come on, now; everybody get into this." Don dropped his sweater on the bench and walked out toward the mound. The Little Falls coachers began a sharp rattle of talk. Don glared at them coldly. Up went his arm and down. "Strike one!" Don pitched again. The batter hit a twisting, difficult fly, but Marty Smith ran back and caught it deftly. "Yah!" cried Ted. "That's getting them."
In response to their demands for a speech, Sweater brought his, obese carcass to the window and addressed a few words to them, reminding them of the shortness of the time at their disposal, and intreating them to work hard in order that the Grand old Flag might be carried to victory.
What you want for a starter is some everyday clothes, a sweater or two, and a pair of rubber boots, in case we have to walk ashore in the mud some time." "Veil, I got dem too," answered Hans. A letter had already been sent to Captain Starr, asking him to have the houseboat brought up to Pittsburg. The captain was also told to have the Dora thoroughly cleaned and put in proper trim for he outing.
"I see de 'ole in de coat an' de sweater. I know some one shoot. Vat for he shoot?" "Well, it was just a silly little accident with a pistol," he acknowledged with much embarrassment. "It it won't be anything after it's washed off. It feels all right enough and I wish you wouldn't bother about it. I'll attend to it after I get home. It it's stopped hurting now."
Snooky, in her scarlet sweater and cap, sniffed them from afar and straightway deserted her sandpile to take her stand at the fence. She peered through the restraining bars, standing on tiptoe. Blanche Devine, glancing up from her board and rolling-pin, saw the eager golden head. And Snooky, with guile in her heart, raised one fat, dimpled hand above the fence and waved it friendlily.
"Only you do resent the injustice done your green sweater," said Rachel, hoping to close the discussion with a laugh. But Katherine was in deadly earnest. "I don't care how the lady Eleanor treats me and my green sweater," she said, "but there are some people who've done too much for her Well, what I mean is, I hope she'll never go back on her real friends," she finished lamely.
That very morning at breakfast-time, the man on the pail had announced that he had heard on the very best authority that Mr Sweater had sold all his interest in the great business that bore his name and was about to retire into private life, and that he intended to buy up all the house property in the neighbourhood of 'The Cave'. Another individual one of the new hands said that he had heard someone else in a public house say that Rushton was about to marry one of Sweater's daughters, and that Sweater intended to give the couple a house to live in, as a wedding present: but the fact that Rushton was already married and the father of four children, rather knocked the bottom out of this story, so it was regretfully dismissed.
If you won't do them at the price, there are plenty that will." Already well aware of this fact, the sweater, if the rate falls at all below his expectation, has simply to pursue the same course with the waiting worker in his shop, a slight turn of the screw, half a penny off here and a farthing there, bringing his own profit back to the rate he assumes as essential.
