Robert had doped out his motions correct; for a week goes by and no Mr. Ballard shows up to take the rubber stamp away from me, or even ask fool questions. I was hopin' too that Ballard had gone a long ways from here, accordin' to custom. Then one night well, it was at the theater, one of them highbrow Shaw plays that I was chucklin' through with Aunt Zenobia. Eh? Remember her, don't you?
Bless you, sir, I told my fellow-servants as I was going to take some corn to the mill to be ground, and was agoin' to wait all day to fetch it home; and so I really did take the corn, and told the miller I should come arter it this evening, and so I shall, and take it home all right, accordin' to my word."
We ain't got long to wait here. They'll be on our trail before daylight in the mornin'." "Oh, I guess that cayuse of yourn'll carry double for a while," answered the sanguine Bob. "We'll annex the first animal we come across. By jingoes, we made a haul, didn't we? Accordin' to the marks on this money there's $30,000 $15,000 apiece!"
They're as different in colour as they are in their natchurs an' way of eatin'. "I figger most natcherlists go out an' get acquainted with one grizzly, an' then they write up all grizzlies accordin' to that one. That ain't fair to the grizzlies, darned if it is! There wasn't one of them books that didn't say the grizzly wasn't the fiercest, man-eatingest cuss alive. He ain't unless you corner 'im.
"That's nothing to me. He has been impertinent to Master Philip, and afterward to me." "I know all about it, ma'am. He told me." "Then you understand why he must leave. He will do well to be more respectful in his next place." "It wasn't his fault, ma'am, accordin' to what he told me." "No doubt!" sneered Mrs. Brent. "It is hardly likely that he would admit himself to be in fault."
"You don't know what you'll do when the time comes, ma'am. You've been livin' in a part of the country where things are done accordin' to hard an' fast rules. Out here things run loose, an' if you stay here long enough some day you'll meet them an' recognize them for your own an' you'll wonder how you ever got along without them." He looked at her now with a subtle grin.
Then you have no right whatever to this man, and I'm goin' to confiscate him in the name o' Abraham Lincoln, President o' the United States, an' accordin' to his proclamation of emancipation, done at Washington, District o' Columbia, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and sixty-three and of our Independence the 87th.
Masters is not here; and if he was, accordin' to your own story, he knows nothin' of your strike that day, and could only prove you were a disappointed prospector in a tunnel; your letter that the person you wrote to never got YOU can't produce; and if you did, would be only your own story without proof!
"When he saw thet I had spotted him he stopped, crouchin' down clost t' the ground, ready to fight or run, accordin' t' the way things looked to him. Chances are he was half minded t' run, anyway, fer all the wild critters is mighty shy of a man, an' as a rule will go the long way around to keep out o' his way.
Ann brought it up, for I takes me meals here now, accordin' to the masters' orders. Please, ma'am, shall I take away the shawl, and fetch you the one you always wear? "'No, stay where you are, I said, sinking into a chair, and dropping my head into my hands to hide my disappointment from the keen eyes that watched me. "Presently there was a kind of gasping, strangling sound from the cradle.
