It served her turn now. The gym was lighted only by moonlight, and silent as silence itself. The girls tittered. "Isn't the joke on you, Bev?" asked Aileen. "Oh look! Quick!" whispered Sally. Beverly merely nodded. At the further end of the room something glowed uncannily.
Your turn will come, y' know, Bev we shall be dancing at your wedding next shan't we, Clem?" "No, Dick," answered Barnabas, shaking his head, "I shall never marry." "Hum!" said the Viscount, fingering his chin and apparently lost in contemplation of a fleecy cloud. "Of that I am quite certain." "Ha!" said the Viscount, staring down at the toe of his glossy boot.
One day the "Little Giant," going up to Beverly Tucker, a prominent Virginia politician, threw his arm on his shoulder, and said, in his impulsive way, "Bev., old boy, I love you." "Douglas," says Tucker, "will you always love me?" "Yes," says Douglas, "I will." "But," persisted Tucker, "will you love me when you get to be President?" "If I don't, may I be blanked!" says Douglas.
"Can't be, Bev, tighter the better, have 'em made too tight to get into, and you're right; look at mine, if I bend, I split, deuced uncomfortable but all the mode, and a man must wear something! My fellow has the deuce of a time getting me into 'em, confound 'em. Oh, for ease, give me boots and buckskins!"
"Money-troubles, my dear Bev, pecuniary unpleasantnesses, debts, and duns, and devilish things of that kind." "But surely," said Barnabas, "no man no honorable man would marry and burden a woman with debts of his own contracting?" At this, the Viscount looked at Barnabas, somewhat askance, and fell to scratching his chin.
I was tendin' to mite of an arrow wound in my right calf, and I just caught him in time, aimin' at Bev; but he missed him for you. I got him, though, and clubbed his scalp a bit loose." Rex paused and stared at his right leg. "How did that boy get here, Rex? Is he a friendly Indian?" I asked. "Oh, Jondo brought him in out of the wet.
"Why to be sure he would!" said Barnabas. "Indeed, who wouldn't?" "Exactly, Bev!" replied the Viscount, "she cornered him with the first glance, floored him with a second, and had him fairly beaten out of the ring with a third. Gad, if you'd only been there to see!" "Would I had!" sighed Barnabas. "Still there's always the future, y' know!" nodded the Viscount.
"Marriage!" nodded his Lordship, airily, "matrimony, Bev, wedlock, my dear fellow?" "I indeed I have never had occasion to think of it." "Fortunate fellow!" sighed his companion. "Until this morning!" added Barnabas, as his fingers encountered a small, soft, lacy bundle in his pocket. "Un-fortunate fellow!" sighed the Viscount, shaking his head. "So you are haunted by the grim spectre, are you?
"You seem all at once in a mighty hurry to get to London." "London!" repeated the Viscount, staring blankly. "London? Oh, why yes, to be sure, I was going to London; but hum fact of the matter is, I've changed my mind about it, my dear Bev; I'm going back. I'm following Carnaby." "Ah!" said Barnabas, still intent upon the man in the lane, "Carnaby again."
