An' I'm beholdin' to you fer what 'll square me some with myself.... To-night, an' if it won't work then, to-morrer night shore!" Dale lowered the rifle. The big cougar spat again. Wilson dropped his hands and, stepping forward, split the green wall of intersecting spruce branches. Then he turned up the ravine toward the glen.
What do you mean by that?" "Just what I say. Miss Graham's goin' to Boston to-morrer, and I'm goin' with her as far as the city." "But but you're comin' back!" "What should I come back here for? My summer job's over. If you want to know, my principal reason for comin' here this mornin' was to say good-by to Mr. Brown, of course." Seth's arm dropped. He leaned heavily against the doorpost.
You mus' 'a' missed her when she got off thought she wasn't comin' up till to-morrer. Mus' 'a' changed her mind. That's a woming all over, ain't it?" Rossiter felt himself turn hot and cold. His head began to whirl and his courage went fluttering away. Here was a queer complication. The quarry hunting for the sleuth, instead of the reverse.
An' when the day of judgment comes an' the dead rise up then I know Thou wilt keep Thy promise, an' that even I, poor an' humble, shall live again, jinin' those that have gone before, to sit at Thy feet an' glorify Thee for life everlastin'. Fer this blessed hope, an' fer all Thy other promises, I lift my voice in gratitude an' thankfulness an' praise to Thee, my heavenly Father, an' to thy son, my Redeemer, to-night an' to-morrer an' forever an' forever.
They were very quiet and listened almost breathlessly, but we had a few interruptions: Roddy suddenly nodded his head very violently towards me, and burst forth in the middle of my talk, 'I'll bring you a robin's egg to-morrer, a booful little egg for your breakfus! I'll go in at the big gates all by myself, and I'll knock at the big door with my stick, and then won't you be very 'stonished!
I'm used to bein' 'ungry an' cold, an' all that, but but I allers like to see what's comin' to-morrer. There's allers somethin' else to-morrer. That's all about ME," and she chuckled again. Dart picked up some fresh sticks and threw them on the fire. There was some fine crackling and a new flame leaped up. "If you could do what you liked," he said, "what would you like to do?"
"Did ye bring me any jerked meat?" "Didn't think of it," said Uncle Peabody. "But I've got a nice young doe all jerked an' if you're fond o' jerk I'll bring ye down some to-morrer." "I'd like to take some to Washington but I wouldn't have you bring it so far." "I'd like to bring it I want a chance to talk with ye for half an hour or such a matter," said my uncle.
You ain' got no home, an' here I've give' you a place to sleep, an' you're kickin'. You doan know from one day to another where you'll git yo' meals, an' I offer you bread and meat and whiskey an' you're kickin'! You say you can't git nothin' to do, an' yit with the prospect of a reg'lar job befo' you to-morrer you're kickin'! I never see the beat of it in all my bo'n days."
Glad made a friendly clutch at the sleeve of his shabby coat. "Right O!" she cried. "That's it! You buck up sime as I told yer. Y' ain't stony broke an' there's 'allers to-morrer." Antony Dart's expression was weirdly retrospective. "I did not think so this morning," he answered. "But there is," said the girl. "Ain't there now, curick?
I ain't had no supper, but never mind. Make it twenty-five and I'll stay all day to-morrer." I led him into the library and explained his presence to Miss Colton. She was delighted. "It is SO good of you, Mr. Cahoon," she exclaimed. "And you shan't starve, either. I will have some supper sent in to you at once. You can eat it while you are at work, can't you?" She hurried out to order the supper.
