Dry my wet locks. Which of you all will dry my locks? The poor beasties cannot. I must jump over the enclosure and walk among the lassies and see which of them will dry my dripping locks! The blue light now pervaded all parts of the room, and the ghost went straight up to Leucha. 'You are brave; do this favour for poor ghostie. See how my black eyes glitter into yours!
A terrible threat was in the sound. Jean unslung his rifle and looked to his pistol. "Ther's six in this gun," he said deliberately. "Five of 'em is fer them beasties, if ne'sary. The other's fer you if you git playin' tricks. Mebbe ye'll thank me later fer what I'm doin'. It don't cut no figger anyway." Then he prodded the ice with his iron-shod staff.
'Hulloo! he said, 'be you the one that banged this 'ere door just now? 'Twas enough to scare the owls and bats and all the other beasties from their holes for evermore. 'No, it wasn't me; it was a gentleman. 'Ah, was it now? Shouldn't be surprised if I knew who it was! 'Twas Mr. Russell, surely! There's no other gent that favours this 'ere building like him.
Into the sea I threw the clothes I had been wearing, and donned fresh ones. What a relief it was to be clear of the innumerable horde "o' wee sma' beasties" that had been my close companions all the way down from the Eskimo igloos in the North. I have wondered many times since whether those clothes swam ashore, and if they did what happened to them.
There is an almost humorous ingenuity in the pains Nature has taken to secure the propagation of some of the meanest of her plant-children. And once they have caught on, they are harder to get rid of than a Canadian "quarter." "And do you call this a desert?" cries Miss Kitty. "Why, millions of creatures live here! Look at the footprints of all the little beasties. They must eat and drink."
We had a fresh pair of horses waiting for us half-way up the hill, but they proved absolutely useless, being obviously already dead tired and quite unable to drag the carriage through any of the muddier places even with every one but the invalid on foot. So we apologetically put the gallant greys in again, poor beasties, and they took us up well.
Once the water had gone down in the moat, long grass and herbage would spring up and flourish on its sloping sides, and the rats and other small beasties would return and riddle it with innumerable burrows.
Wal, he hadn't no suspicion, seein' whose beasties they were, an' he was for makin' back. He'd started, he said, when somethin' struck him. Y'see he guessed of a sudden it was a mighty big bunch for a ranch-foreman to be running, an' ther' was such a heap o' half-bred Polled Angus amongst 'em.
The leather for ma shoon can be tanned frae the skins o' the beasties that furnish us wi' beef. The wife and I could shut ourselves up together in our wee hoose and live, so long as micht be needfu', frae our farm aye, and we could support many a family, beside ourselves. Others are doing so, tae. I'm not the only farmer who's showing the way back to the land.
They were usually a drunken, careless lot; Edward was sober and thoughtful, and had other things to think of than those that they cared to talk about with one another. But he went out much into the fields, with invincible determination, having made up his mind that he would get to know all about the plants and beasties, however much the knowledge might cost him.
