Can we, Keith?" "Nope. When will you send the bwidle?" he demanded. "Soon," the restored patient said to the boy, and to her: "That wasn't nothin' a-tall. From where I come from we always been use to standin' by our boss." He shifted awkwardly to the other foot, flushing to the hair while he buried her soft little hand in his big freckled one. The girl showed no shyness.
But the circumstances did not permit a heroic gesture. She had to take and not give. "I won't have it," Kirby said flatly. "If Miss McLean tells her story to the district attorney he'll probably arrest her. It'll come out about her sister an' the papers will run scare-heads. No need of it a-tall. Won't hurt me to stay here a few days if I have to."
Tell Nels he can go back home after supper, and him and Minna and Theodore 'll have to keep house until I get back. The pore thing you said she was right blind?" she concluded. "Plumb blind," said Sim Gage. "What's more, she can't see none a-tall. It ain't no wonder she's scared sick." "I'm mighty glad you're a-goin' to get supper here to-night," he continued.
"He didn't hit me a-tall." "Hit his b-belt buckle. If this here T-Texas man lives to be a hundred he'll never have a closer call. Think of a fellow whangin' away with a forty-five right close to him, hitting him where he was aimin' for, and not even scratching Bob. O' course the shock of it knocked him cold. Naturally it would. But I'll go on record that our friend here was born lucky.
"Suppose you could sell it for a fair price, cash, and get away with the money?" "That's our aim." "Mr. Baines," said Bowman, "there's money in this if you aren't too particular." "Hain't p'tic'lar a-tall. How you mean?" "What would you say to buying this gold at a reasonable price? I can dispose of it through channels I am acquainted with.
I'm expecting you to sort of fill in the gaps." Bull shook a decided head. "No," he denied. "No, you got another guess comin'. I won't do nothin' like that a-tall." "And why not?" "Because I won't." "'Won't' got his neck broke one day just because he wouldn't." "Yeah, I guess so," sneered Bull.
I got up earlier'n Hank did, and slipped out without him seeing me, and didn't go nigh the shop a-tall. Fur now I've licked Hank oncet I figger he won't rest till he has wiped that disgrace out, and he won't care a dern what he picks up to do it with, nuther. They was a crick about a hundred yards from our house, in the woods, and I went over there and laid down and watched it run by.
There's a sort of spring thataway" again he pointed, invisibly to her "and along it runs a band of willers say a hundred yards from the house. It all ain't much. I never ought to of brought you here a-tall, but like I said, we'll do the best we can. Please don't be afraid, or nothing."
He muttered confidentially: "Have a nip of sherry or a New Orleans fizz or a Bronx. That'll put heart into you. Not enough to affect you a-tall, but just enough to cheer up on. Then we'll go to a dance and really have a time. Gee! poor kid, you don't get any fun." "No, no, I never touch it," she said, and she believed it, forgetting the claret she had drunk with Walter Babson. She felt unsafe.
"I s'pose," said Scattergood, "that I've knowed Homer sence he was knee high to a mouse's kitten, and I don't know nothin' about you a-tall. I gather you're calc'latin' on marryin' Homer.... Mebby you be and mebby you hain't.... Depends. Come along." He led the way to the hotel and allowed Yvette to precede him up the stairs to her room, which she unlocked and stood aside for him to enter.
