"Bettah give them somethin' to stare at; they'll all be powerful interested, anyway." "Yes, the lost viscount," Val agreed. "Of course, you're really only a Lord like me, but it sounds better to say 'the lost viscount. You'll share the limelight with Rupert and the Luck, so you'd better take that pair of my flannels which haven't turned quite yellow yet." Rod shook his head.
No one was wider-mouthed or whiter-eyed. His admonitions to his family now took on a different complexion, and he could be heard calling across a lot to a mischievous sister, "Bettah tek keer daih, Lucy Jane, Gawd's a-watchin' you; bettah tek keer." The appointed man is always marked, and so Gideon was by always receiving his full name. No one ever shortened his scriptural appellation into Gid.
Cicely saw that his eyes were large and black, and glistening with fever. "How you feelin', suh?" asked the old woman. There was no answer. "Is you feelin' bettah now?" The wounded man kept on staring blankly. Suddenly he essayed to put his hand to his head, gave a deep groan, and fell back again unconscious. "He 's gone ag'in," said Dinah.
It's been many a long day since I've done a thing like that. It makes my mouth water, just thinking of it." "Certainly I could do it heah, if you would like it bettah," promised Lloyd, rashly. "Is there anything I can do for you befoah I go?" "Yes, there is," was the ready answer. "I didn't eat much dinner, and I'm that weak and faint I'd like if you'd make me a cup of tea."
"Oh, yes, but change of work is rest. And how's the rheumatism, now, any better?" "Bettah? Why, Mawse Gawge, I ain' got a smidgeon of hit. I's jes' limpin' a leetle bit on 'count o' habit." "Well, it's good if one can get well, even if his days are nearly spent." "Heish, Mas' Gawge. I ain' t'inkin' 'bout dyin'." "Aren't you ready yet, in all these years?"
Then he sat up, pulled himself together, and turned a distorted face toward the young man who had been so good a friend to him. "You-all know, Mr. Brown, ah sure is ashamed," he said, quietly, "but ah feel bettah, an' ah guess hit done me good. Ah felt like ah could kill someone when we come yeah, but ah feel differnt now." His voice trailed into silence.
Lawd, honey! Ef anybody 'spec' you' ole Aunt Fudjinny to stan' off an' axe her baby howdy dey bettah go to de crazy house! Lawd! Lawd! dis de fus' chance I had to hug my own baby since I been a po' ole free niggah!" She held the laughing girl off by the shoulders.
"What de Bible been sayin' now?" asked Jim suspiciously. "Des' what it been sayin' all de res' o' de time. 'Yo' sins will fin' you out'" Jim groaned and turned uneasily in his chair. The old man saw that he had made a point and pursued it. "Don' you reckon now, Jim, ef you was a bettah man dat you wouldn' suffah so?" "I do' know, I do' know nuffin' 'bout hit." "Now des' look at me.
"I nevah take life unless it's forced on me. If I did, I'd soon make Lost Springs a bettah place to live in. Now turn yo' backs with yo' hands in the air and ride! The next time I shoot, it's goin' to be on sight! Vamose! Pronto!" Muttering angrily under their breath, Garvey and his gunmen obeyed the order. Yet Kid Wolf knew that the trouble had not been averted, but merely postponed.
She would have had a bettah time and he would have had lots moah respect for her." "Oh, I don't think so," cooed Miss Bonham, with a coquettish side glance at Phil. "That always seemed such a beautifully romantic situation to me. Doesn't it appeal to you, Mr. Tremont?"
