"That's what you're a man for!" "B-but, I'm l-lame!" Doña Victorina was falling into a bad humor. The streets were unpaved and the train of her gown was covered with dust. Besides, they had met a number of young women, who, in passing them, had dropped their eyes and had not admired her rich costume as they should have done.
My father obviously resolved to make the most of his opportunities, for he gave me a thoroughly exhaustive hug before releasing me. "I I didn't m-mean," said my father, blazing with excitement, and gasping with a mingled tendency to laugh and weep, "didn't mean to come it quite so strong, P-Punch, my boy, b-but you'll make allowance for a momentary weakness. I'm getting an old man, Punch.
"Y-yes, I hev to stay here in the old shop; b-but I hear the b-birds in the mornin', and all day I f-feel as ef I was out under the b-blue sky, an' rejoicin' with all livin' creaturs in the sun and the s-sweet air of heaven." "I envy you your happy frame; everything has some form or hue of beauty for you. I must have you read to me again. I never take up Milton without thinking of you."
"Yes; b-but you've g-got the child's presence," plunged in Pollyanna, the terror coming back to her eyes. "There's Jimmy, you know." The man gave an amused laugh. "I know; but I don't think even you would say that Jimmy is is exactly a CHILD'S presence any longer," he remarked. "N-no, of course not." "Besides Pollyanna, I've made up my mind. I've got to have the woman's hand and heart."
Presently, when Alfred knocked on her door and said he was leaving a pitcher of hot water outside, she replied, with chattering teeth, "Th-thank y-you, b-but I d-don't ne-need any now." She found it necessary, however, to warm her numb fingers before she could fasten hooks and buttons. And when she was dressed she marked in the dim mirror that there were tinges of red in her cheeks.
He felt inclined to comfort his new friend, but knew not how to do it. At last a happy thought occurred to him, and he exclaimed eagerly "B-but sh-she's not dead yet!" "Does she live in the same cottage?" asked the boy, in a low, husky voice, not considering that his companion could not know what cottage she had occupied in former days.
And you swore that, as long as there was breath in your body, it should never come. And I believed you. That's all. A long pause, during which MRS. H. bows her head and rolls the bread-twist into little pellets: G. stares at the oleanders. There'll be an explosion yet. B-but even Red Indians allow people to wriggle when they're being tortured, I believe.
"B-but I'm married," blankly repeated Mitchell. Comer shook his head. "We'd keep you in a minute if there was any way to do it. You go home and see the wife. Of course if you can show us where you're worth it, we'll let you stay; but well, you can't. There's no chance. I'll see you to-morrow."
J-e-f-f! Jeff Saxton!" "Oh!" It was like a sob. "Why why but you're in New York." "Not exactly, dear. I'm in Kalispell, Montana." "But that's right near here." "So am I!" "B-but " "Out West to see copper interests. Traced you from Yellowstone Park but missed you at Butte. Thought I'd catch you on road. You talking from Barmberry's?"
Edmund and Amos came to me. "How did you get through it, Ben?" "All right, but a few cuts. I hope I don't look as villanous as you or Amos." "I d-don't know how I look. B-But if I saw you or Edmund round my place looking as you d-do now, I'd shoot you at sight." Rogers ordered us to set fire to all the houses except those which were storehouses for corn.
