I can't, nor could you, nor could anybody. Your father's the best husband in the world. And I needn't tell you his kindness and generosity. He's all you've ever believed him, and more much more. He's a big man, so big, you and I'll never even guess. But just as he's all we'd have him in our lives, so he's all he needs to be on the bitter northern trail. The secrets of that trail are his.
Well, one day when the shaft was down about eight foot, the rock got so hard that we had to put in a blast the first blast'n' we'd ever done since Tom Quartz was born. An' then we lit the fuse 'n' clumb out 'n' got off 'bout fifty yards 'n' forgot 'n' left Tom Quartz sound asleep on the gunny-sack.
I do not let her go out uf der house dese days, as she may not be able to find der vay back in again." "We'd better go, George," said Harry. "I think we only waste time asking questions of such a forgetful family." "It iss so," said Onderdonk; "but, young Mister Rebels, I remember one thing." "And what is that?" asked Dalton. "It vas a piece of advice dot I ought to gif you.
Quickly he inserted the pointed end into the hole he had been trying to cover with his hand. "Give me a hammer or something to knock with and I'll try to drive this into the hole. It's not a butt, it's an auger hole!" "An auger hole?" both boys gasped in horror. "An auger hole!" repeated Harry, his lips set and white. "Just a little more and we'd have been beyond all help.
I really couldn't. We'd only see that woman again with Frank." "Well, what of it? We're not going to let her think we're afraid to face her. I've no patience with Mr. Wargrave. Whatever he can see in her I can't think. You're worth twenty of her, darling. Shallow, conceited. She neglected? She badly treated? My sympathy is with her husband now. What fools men are!"
After a while he said he thought I had more sympathy, more understanding of a love such as his, and if I realized its depth I would not keep him waiting four years, as four years at college was all nonsense for a woman; and then he got my hand, anyhow, and I jumped up, for somebody was coming, and, besides, if we hadn't gone in we'd have been in an argument right off, with love left out, on the subject of education and women.
"It does seem that you are right, and yet we've never gone ahead and done things before without her consent. I wish we could talk it over with her." "Well, I don't," persisted Mary. "I'm going home and I'm perfectly sure that down in her heart she'll be glad that I took matters in my own hands and decided to come for Jack's sake if nothing else." "Then we'd better telegraph her to-night "
Better if we'd learned nothing but how to walk behind a plough, year in year out, like some of the folks in father's village in England, as he used to tell us about when he was in a good humour. But that's all as people are reared, I suppose. We'd been used to the outside of a horse ever since we could walk almost, and it came natural to us.
But Scannel has not shown up yet. I thought when we put up the price again Friday we'd bring him in. I thought you'd figured out that he couldn't stand that rise." "He can't stand it," answered Gretry. "He'll be in to see you to-morrow or next day." "To-morrow or next day won't do," answered Jadwin. "I want to put the knife into him to-day.
"Anne, Jessica, Reddy, and I are due to catch early trains to-morrow morning. Anne and I mustn't miss ours. We promised Miriam we'd surely be with her to-morrow night." "Anne, don't forget to tell Miriam not to dare do any shopping until Mother and I arrive in New York," reminded Grace. "She promised to wait for me, so that we could do our shopping together.
