"Why?" repeated the other, struggling a little as if wanting to break away, but finally giving up the effort, "because I just know who it is, that's what, and I'd give a heap to lay my hands on him, that's all." "B-b-but, Steve, mebbe the r-r-rest of us'd l-l-like to know, too," stammered Toby, eagerly.
"Well, Sam, if there is a gentleman outside, why don't you ask him to come in and eat with us? Don't you know your manners, Sam? Why do I give you this place to run if you can't ask a gentleman to come in and sit at your table when we are having dinner?" "D-d-did as-s-s-sk him, sah," said Sam, "b-b-but he wouldn't c-c-c- come in; n-n-n-no, sah, wouldn't c-c-c-come in."
"Sit down again in exactly the same place where you were at the time you saw these yellow eyes staring at you they were yellow, all right, I suppose?" Max continued. "R-r-reckon I did s-s-say that," admitted Toby, "b-b-but I might's well confess right n-n-now that I couldn't s-s-say for sure whether the eyes were g-g-green or y-y-yellow. All I k-k-know is they s-s-stared like anything at me."
As far as memory carried her back, she had been assured, frequently and solemnly, that to be a princess, a German princess, a Hohenzollern princess, was the most glorious and delightful lot a female human being could enjoy, only a little less glorious and delightful than the lot of a German prince. "B-b-but it's sp-p-plendid to be a princess! Everybody says so!" she stammered.
"That is just what I always thought," Flexinna confessed, "b-b-but, it seems we are b-b-both mistaken. There is another way to challenge the K-K-King of the G-G-Grove; that is to go to the Dictator of Aricia and enter formal challenge. In that c-c-case, the Dictator notifies the K-K-King of the G-G-Grove that he must face the challenger at midnight next d-d-day.
Though his plate was still heaped with the choice portions of the fowl, which his doting grandmother had preserved for him, and though he was still hungry, unlucky Monty sank back in his chair, a limp, crestfallen lad. With his dejected stare fixed upon her unrelenting face, he stammered forth: "B-b-but, g-g-gr-gramma! I'm goin' a-f-f-fishin'!" "Nonsense.
At the sight of her Sir James felt his tremulous courage oozing out of him; but with what was left of it he blurted out desperately: "Look here, Anne, dear, I want you to marry me!" "Oh!" said Mrs. Dangerfield, rising quickly. "Yes, I want it more than ever I wanted anything in my life!" Mrs. Dangerfield's face was one flush; and she cried: "B-b-but it's out of the question.
"B-b-but all the m-m-muskrats I ever saw could swim and s-s-stay under w-w-water's long as they p-p-pleased," Toby broke out with. "That's a mistake," said Trapper Jim. "None of these animals can live under water all the time like a fish. They have to come up to breathe just so often. Beaver have houses made of mud and sticks.
In a few minutes the horses, blankets, food, arms, etcetera, of the three friends were collected, and themselves unbound. "Now," said the robber chief, "I mean to spend the night here. You may bid us good-night. The world lies before you go!" "B-b-but, sor," said Flinders, with a perplexed and pitiful air. "Ye niver axed me if I'd j-j-jine ye." "Because I don't want you," said Stalker.
Flexinna was incredulously delighted, pathetically overjoyed to see her. "You have a wonderful larder here," she said. "Every single thing I asked for was b-b-brought me at once. I d-d-didn't have any appetite, b-b-but I had to have food. And I g-g-got it." Promptly she put on her own clothing and was gone.
