That made me mad at her, and so I took my jack knife and drew the tacks out of the tin thing that the numbers were painted on, and put the old maid's number on our door and our number on her door, and then I went to bed. I tried to keep awake, so as to help Pa if he had any difficulty, but I guess I got asleep, but woke up when the dog barked.
Involuntarily he stepped forward into the shadow of the house and close up to her window. She wore a white robe with wide, open sleeves, and her arms shone in the dim light as white as her garment. The greyhound barked again; she quieted it, and then asked Hermas how his father was, and whether he needed some more wine.
The rather rigid look of the shoulders came from his having had his collar-bone twice broken in the mines. The little terrier of a sergeant, in dirty khaki, looked at him furtively. 'She's your Missis? he asked, jerking his head in the direction of the departed woman. 'Yes, she is, barked the man. 'She's that, sure enough. 'Not seen her for a long time, haven't ye?
"That's more than I can say this minute, Harry, where Jim Laramie is; but he's not far, I can tell you that, for the coffee pot was on the stove when I got to the shack a while ago." "Then what are you holding us up here for?" barked Doubleday with rough words. "I'm a peace officer, Barb, a deputy marshal." The bursting expression of disgust on his questioners' faces did not ruffle John's candor.
The little dog on his part strove to merit the anchorite's good feelings towards him, for, though at first he had barked at him, he now was very friendly to him, and looked him in the face from time to time as though to ask, "Do you think she will recover?" Paulus was fond of animals, and understood the little dog's language.
I was with him yesterday all day." "Any one else with him?" "No. We were alone." "Where?" "Out in the hills." "Didn't happen to meet a soul all day maybe?" "No; what of it?" Healy barked out again his hard laugh of incredulity. "Go slow, Jim. That ain't going to let him out. It's going to let you in." Yeager took a step toward him, fists clenched, and eyes flashing.
It would have been a relief to me if some ship's dog had flown out and barked at us; but all was silent, and that was uncanny here in the open sea, and on such a ship. "Well," said Bertric, "crew or no, we must go on board. No use in waiting."
A dog barked Pat Kavanagh's black crackie and the whisper of the tide fumbling at edges of ice came up from the land-wash below the fish-house and drying-stages. He saw the spars of his little schooner etched black against the slate-gray of the eastern sky. He stood at the edge of the broken slope, looking and listening.
Instantly Big Jack's pale face flamed like an aurora. "Keep your distance!" he barked. "Do you think the rest of us will stand for that?" Joe retreated to the bed, crestfallen and snarling, and things smoothed down for the moment. "Where do you live?" Jack asked the girl, illustrating with elaborate pantomime. She merely shook her head.
"'Hark! hark! the dogs do bark, the beggars are coming to town," quoted Patsy, with a grim little smile, and glanced across at the tinker. He was blushing fiercely. "Never mind, lad. 'Tis better being barked into a town than bitten out of it." For answer the tinker stopped and folded his arms sullenly.
