If once I was to start out answerin' you serious, y'r father 'd 'ave to go' and arst some one else for 'is supper let alone finishing the washin'." "All right, mother," he would say, after a wondering stare at her. "I didn't mean to worry." And he would go on thinking. He was thinking too four years after, when the Vicar, now no longer ripe but over-ripe, saw him for the last time of all.
Lucy, hyar," he continued, after having patted her nose, "'n' all critters, has one kind of whinny fer hunger 'n' thirst, another when somethin's scarin' 'em, another when they're hurt, another when they're callin' a critter, 'n' another when they're answerin'. Most all varmints has those, too; jest the same as a critter 'cept the hunger call."
"Say, I've got a mighty sick man here," he cried, directly he heard the choreman moving. "Git around an' lend a hand; gentle, too." "That you, Arizona?" Joe, half awake, questioned, blinking up at the horseman in the faint light. "I guess; an' say, 'fore I git answerin' no fool questions, git a holt on this notion. Red Mask's bin around Willow Bluff, an' Tresler's done up. Savee?"
Lathrop, you can maybe imagine as learnin' as there was a flute in that box an' the key lost, an' him in the habit of playin' that flute nights, altered my views more 'n a little, an' I can tell you that I had to think pretty fast afore answerin' him.
Seems 's if there was a Providence in it: seems 's if you was kind of SENT there!" "I don't know what you must think of me answerin' an advertisement for a husband that way. It makes me 'shamed of myself when I think of it, I declare. And in that kind of a paper, too." "I've wondered more times than a few how you ever got a hold of that paper. 'Tain't one you'd see every day nat'rally, you know."
Mallathorpe could tell if she did see owt, or if she knew owt, or heer'd owt! She mun ha' been close by or else they wo'dn't ha' found her lyin' theer aside o' t' corpse. What did she see? What did she hear? Does she know owt? I tell ye 'at theer's questions 'at wants answerin' and theer's trouble ahead for somebody if they aren't answered now then!"
He kep' talkin' about it all night, and sayin' the tall shepherd was answerin' back, though I never 'eard nothin' myself, save that one time I told yer of. "'It's queer he don't talk about the stars, sez Mrs. Rowe to me. 'He will do before he's done, you see if he doesn't, I sez. "Well, about three o'clock I see a change in his face and knowed as the end wasn't far off.
We put out a bait that anybody with sense would say couldn't catch nothin' but sculpin, and, by mighty, we hooked a halibut! If the woman was anything like what you'd think she'd be, answerin' an advertisement like that, I'd be the fust to say let her go, but she ain't; she's all right, and we need her to nuss John besides."
Mattie! dear Mattie! this gentleman don't be vexed I couldn't help him bein' a gentleman; I was cryin' that bad, and I didn't see no one come up to me, and when he spoke to me, it made me jump, and I couldn't help answerin' of him he spoke so civil and soft like, and me nigh mad! I thought you was dead, Mattie. He says he'll see us righted, Mattie. Col.
What were you doing just now, sneaking around our cottage over there?" "Dry up, kid, on that 'sneak' stuff. I ain't answerin' a damn thing, see, not till we gets over to where I'm campin'. An' if that aint suitin' you, y'knows what y'can do, don't youse?" "You seemed keen enough to get away." "I had m'reasons," grunted McCorquodale. "I ast you to dry up, didn't I?"
