The hotel-keeper himself had left his place standing wide open and went out. We didn't get any breakfast neither. "Danny," says the doctor, "we'll just put enough money to pay the bill in an envelope on the register here, and strike out on shank's ponies. It's only nine or ten miles to the railroad we'll walk." "But how about our stuff?" I asts him.
She asts me a lot of questions, and I had to lie to her a good deal, but I got the grub. And at ten that night I was in an empty bumping along south, along with a cross-eyed feller named Looney Hogan who happened to be travelling the same way. Riding on trains without paying fare ain't always the easy thing it sounds. It is like a trade that has got to be learned.
V.V. was to purchase on the morrow. Kern's endeavor was to convey the idea that, in cases such as this, many men ever made it a practice to keep the old suit by, like for rainy days, and under no circumstances to give it away to the first person comes along and asts them for it. V.V.'s derby down many a sunny lane. "And the shirts they got at the One-Price Company!" cooed Kern.
The doctor asts if I am crazy. And Looey says he has thought I was from the very first, and some night him and the doctor will be killed whilst asleep.
Then I seen she was. But Jane and Henry didn't. They was all took up with each other in the middle of the room, with their backs to it. Henry is a-begging of Jane, and she turns a little more, that chair does. Will she squeak, I wonders? "Don't you be a fool, Jane," says the Henry feller. Around she comes three hull inches, that there chair, and nary a squeak. "A fool?" asts Jane, and laughs.
"'Yes, says Hemenway, bloated up like a gobbler an' lookin' at Jess where she stan's with her face red an' still a-puffin' for breath; 'an' she thinks she could l'arn right here if she only had a pianner. "'She'd oughter have one, says Mr. Sneath. 'I wish he says, an' then he breaks off like a busted log-chain. 'But we couldn't git it down here. "What's that? asts Hemenway.
"When a gen'leman asts a question AS a gen'leman," he said, his voice expressing a noble pathos, "I can't see no call for no other gen'leman to go an' play the smart Aleck and not answer him." In simple dignity he turned his back upon me and strolled to the other end of the courtyard, leaving me to the renewal of my reverie. It was not a happy one.
The next evening we run acrost them fellers on the street, and they was feeling purty blue. They hadn't been able to sell that team and wagon, which it was eating its meals reg'lar in a livery stable, and they had been doing stunts in the street that day and passing around the hat, but not getting enough fur to pay expenses. "Where's the balloon?" asts the doctor.
The only oncomfortable thing about being the perfessor's guest was Miss Estelle. Soon's she found out I was a agnostic she took charge o' my intellectuals and what went into 'em, and she makes me read things and asts me about 'em, and she says she is going fur to reform me.
"Celebrated balloonist," says he, "and the man that invented parachutes. They eat out of his hand." "Where is he?" asts I. "How should I know?" he says. "How is he going up, then?" I asts. The doctor chuckles and says it is a good bill, a better bill than he thought; that it is getting in its work already. He says to me to read it careful and see if it says Alonzo Ackerman is going up.
