"Why, of course, you'll see me again. Heaven and earth, man, anybody'd think you were going to die, the way you talk!" Marsh did not speak. He smiled when Henry spoke of dying, and then looked away. They were still standing on the bridge, and he leant on the parapet and looked down on the lake. "Queer things, fish!" he said. "Not nearly so queer as you are," Henry answered.
"Oh, don't be absurd!" snapped Polly, disgustedly. "Anybody'd suppose you were college boys at thé dansant." And she went into the kitchen. "Well, you see what you get, Matt; you would horn in. What do you mean a sporting proposition?" "Oh, a rich one.
"Well, old sports!" called he as he turned the key in the lock, "I guess you are ready for your supper. Wondering where your boss was, eh? I'm not very late. Only a quarter of an hour. It isn't late enough to warrant your making such a fuss. Down, Achilles! What's the matter with you? Anybody'd think you were crazy to see you jumping up and whining this way. What's got you, old man? Down, I say!"
The third time he rounded the curve by the freight agent the man looked up with a speculative squint and eyed the boy. The fourth time he called out, straightening up and laying down his brush. "Say, Kid, do you know how to keep yer mouth shut?" The boy regarded him with infinite contempt. "Well, that depends!" he said at last. "If anybody'd make it worth my while."
I've thought an' cried an' prayed about that gal more than anybody'd ever believe, I s'pose, anybody that knows me an' knows her too. But I can't get no light nor no sense about it. But I'm only a man, Mrs. Prency, an' you're a woman.
"Just as if anybody'd care when they were living all the time in a rainbow!" The man laughed. He was watching Pollyanna's rapt face a little curiously. Suddenly a new thought came to him. He touched the bell at his side. "Nora," he said, when the elderly maid appeared at the door, "bring me one of the big brass candle-sticks from the mantel in the front drawing-room."
"There was a feller in our town used to keep stuffed snakes an' monkeys an' birds, an' dried grasshoppers an' bugs an' things like that in glass cases; but I never dreamed in all my born life that anybody'd want to keep dried people," she commented disgustedly. "I don't see no good in it: it's sickenin'." She turned her back upon mummied Egypt with a gesture of aversion.
More likely we girls will be struck dumb at his splendour and importance." "Well, tell me all about it afterward," and still chuckling, Mr. Forbes went off. "What ails Uncle?" said Alicia, pettishly. "Anybody'd think he had a joke on us." "No," Dotty rejoined, "only he's sort of old, you know, and he doesn't see the fun in this, as we do." "Well, I wish the fun would hurry up!
The Pony Rider Boys showed the Rangers that they were used to quick work. Twenty minutes later the boys were ready. The Rangers had watched their preparations with interest. "Good work," said Captain McKay approvingly. "Anybody'd think you had traveled with a one-hoss circus," grinned Dippy. "We've got some of the animals left yet," laughed Tad.
"Oh, dear Godfather!" she cried, as she flung herself on him; "I'm so glad you've come! I never wanted so much to see you!" He was startled to feel that she was trembling and that her cheek against his forehead, for she was taller than he, was burning hot. "Good gracious, my dear!" he said, in the shrill voice his size indicated, "anybody'd think you were the patient I came to see."
