What if my plan had failed and Madeleine, in my un-wedding garments, was to be taken into custody in Shelby? I turned to Selwyn. "Do you suppose " My voice was low. A man close to me, with hands in his pockets, hat on the back of his head, and his left cheek lumpy, was looking at us appraisingly. "Do you suppose anything will happen at Shelby? Nothing is happening here."
Just ahead of her stood a tall, gaunt mountaineer leaning on his rifle. The expression on his face was not one of welcome, but Grace Harlowe saw fit to ignore that. "Howdy, stranger," she greeted, smiling down at the man. "Howdy," grunted the man, as they regarded each other appraisingly. "Where do ye-all reckon yer goin'?" he demanded gruffly. "Is this Spring Brook?" interjected Hippy.
But she turned toward the nearest door without a bow. The dark, too-well-groomed man was emerging as she advanced. Instead of moving back, he blocked her path, looking was it appraisingly, expectantly? into her eyes. There was a pause while she waited rather haughtily for passage; then he effaced himself, and she disappeared. Striking a match viciously, I lit a cigarette and strolled forward.
So have half a dozen other men, friends of ours. Now we can't get water." "Well?" "Well, the company puts it up that some of you fellows is to blame. You've cut the ditches so they won't carry. We've come to tell you that this has got to stop." "That's kind of you, anyway," Casey observed quietly. He and Dade eyed each other appraisingly.
He studied his companion appraisingly. "Dredlinton," he said at last, "I did you an injustice." "I am glad that you are beginning to appreciate the fact," the other replied, with some dignity. "I welcome your confession." "I looked upon you," Wingate continued, "as only an ordinary, weak sort of scoundrel. I find you one of the filthiest blackguards who ever crawled upon the earth."
Dewing and Mitchell exchanged glances. "What's that? What did he say?" "He means to inform you," said Dewing, "that his name is Robert E. Lee Carr." His glance swept appraisingly up the farther hill, and he chuckled: "Old Israel Putnam would be green with envy if he had seen that ride. Some boy!" "He must be a new one to Cobre; I've never seen him before."
"I guess I can lie close," she replied, looking at him through half-closed eyes. "Just how am I to size that up, though?" He looked at her appraisingly, a little cruelly. The effect of her beautiful figure was almost ruined by the cheap and unbecoming clothes in which she was attired. Her hat, with its huge hatpins and ultra-fashionable height, was hideous. She exuded perfumes.
"You haven't seemed FANATICALLY appreciative of your opportunities when you have been there; you might have carried her off from Cresson Ingle instead of vice versa. But after all, you AREN'T" here she paused and looked at me appraisingly for a moment-"you AREN'T the most piratical dash-in-and-dash-out and leave-everything-upside- down-behind-you sort of man, are you?" "No, I believe I'm not."
It had not occurred to her that they might touch her. Now she was aware that they knew all about her; that they were waiting for some affectation over which they could guffaw. No schoolgirl passed their observation-posts more flushingly than did Mrs. Dr. Kennicott. In shame she knew that they glanced appraisingly at her snowy overshoes, speculating about her legs.
"Yep," agreed Curly, "he sure carries the proper credentials to make any name that he wants to wear good enough for me." The visitors mounted their horses, and sat looking appraisingly at the tall figure of Honorable Patches, as that gentleman passed them at a little distance, on his way to the barn. "Mebby you're right," admitted "Shorty," "but he sure talks like a schoolmarm, don't he?"
