Hit wah cuz you all wah done woah out las' night. Hit wah Misteh Shulley from Grass Riveh, suh. He said hit wah Misteh Asheh Aydelot's wife " "For the love of God!" Horace Carey cried hoarsely, springing up. "Do you know who Mrs. Aydelot is, Bo Peep?" "No, suh; neveh see huh." "She was Virginia Thaine of the old Thaine family back at home." Bo Peep did not sit down. He fell in a heap at Dr.
It's the awful loneliness of the plains that makes the advance attack in this fight with the wilderness. Don't we both know that?" "I reckon we do, but we got over it, and so will Mrs. Aydelot." "How do you know that?" Asher inquired eagerly. "I believe she could hardly keep back the tears till I got away." "Then why didn't you get away sooner?
Smith here has interests in Cloverdale. He's just come from there, and he says it's even worse than this states it." Virginia looked toward Mr. Smith, who nodded assent. "The failure is complete. Fortunately, I lost but little," he said. "Why hasn't Mr. Aydelot been notified?" she demanded. "It does seem queer he wasn't," Thomas Smith assented.
Boanerges Peeperville, established as cook in the Sunflower Inn, was at home in his cosy little quarter beside the grape arbor of the rear dooryard. "Tell me, Bo Peep, why Dr. Carey should enter the army again and go to the Philippines?" Virginia Aydelot asked on the day the news reached the Sunflower Ranch. Bo Peep did not answer at once.
For all these things the Kansas plains offered to Asher Aydelot and his little company of neighbors only land below, crossed by a grass-choked river, and sky overhead, crossed but rarely by blessed rain-dropping clouds.

Jo stiffened visibly. "Thaine Aydelot, what's the reason for your actions Oh, I don't care. Go to Shirley's, by all means. Everybody to his likes," she cried angrily. "Well, that's my rathers for tonight, and I can't help it," Thaine answered hotly. "Of course you can't. Let's go home quick so you can get off early," Jo said in an angered tone. "I'll go as slowly as I can.
Marys-by-the-Kaw," Boehringer, a Kansas man, added. "There's where you get real summery weather." "Oh, kill him, Aydelot, he's worse than a Boxer. Don't you know I'm from Boston originally, which is only a State of Mind?" Goodrich urged.
And you looked, like you was glimpsin' heaven a'most, and just said sorter solemn like an' prophetic: 'I see a land fair as the Garden of Eden, with grazing herds on broad meadows, and fields on fields of wheat, and groves and little lakes and rivers a land of comfortable homes and schoolhouses and churches, and no saloons nor breweries. And then I broke in and told you I see a danged fool, and you says, 'Come down here in twenty-five year and make a hunt for me then. And, by golly, Aydelot, here I am.
"Thaine's going to stand by me," pretty Jo Bennington declared, pushing Leigh boisterously aside. Josephine, the week-old baby Mrs. Aydelot had gone to see one day nine years ago, had grown into a big, black-eyed, rosy-cheeked girl who lorded it over every other child in the neighborhood.
In the game now, Smith was to deliver beer and whisky into Wyker's hands. Wyker would do the rest. Whoever opposed him must suffer for his rashness. It was cooler in the large dining-room where Thaine Aydelot and Leigh Shirley had met by chance at noontime.
