Where's it got me these eight years? Nowheres! She had enough sense to cut loose from Ed Bevins, who was a lodestone, too, and beat it. She's singing now in New York for forty a week with a voice that wasn't strong enough to be more than chorus to mine." "Kittie Scogin, Hanna, is a poor comparison for any woman to make with herself." "It is, is it? Well, I don't see it thataway.
"You're a deacon's wife. Things like this are are pretty serious with people in our walk of life. We 'ain't learned in our communities yet not to take the marriage law as of God's own makin'. I'm a respected citizen here." "So was Ed Bevins. It never hurt his hide." "But it left her with a black name in the town." "Who cares? She don't."
Scogin, sucking in her words and her eyes seeming to strain through the present; "once label a man with drinkin'." Kittie Scogin Bevins entered then through a rain of bead portières.
Bevins says it's better than sleigh-bells, and Al knows how to run a factory." "Still, some of the men at the factories are born idiots. You can't teach them anything. If the managers were compelled to make one trip a year they'd find out a good deal. Here's my ax trade. I've been cussed from one end of the trip to the other. My orders for October shipment were billed about January 1.
If the crew had got back aboard the schooner without having aroused any suspicions, it was Jarrow's intention to get his three passengers on the island, and then demand checks, leaving them there while he took the schooner back to Manila and got the money. Bevins, Shope, and Pennock had no idea of what had been planned until Jarrow told the whole plot ashore.
That girl had sense. O God! didn't she have sense!" "They say her sense is what killed Ed Bevins of shame and heartbreak." "Say, don't tell me! It was town talk the way he made her toady to his folks, even after he'd been cut off without a cent. Kittie told me herself the very sight of the old Bevins place over on Orchard Street gives her the creeps down her back.
Peth continued to call, like a dog baying the great moon which wheeled overhead, until along toward dawn, when the fire on the beach flared up for a while and then died. Before daylight there was a nervous stir of air, and the sun rose on a cloud from the north. The breeze freshened, and Bevins, now in command, got the anchor, and under jib and reefed foresail they headed out for the sea.
But Hester Bevins would not let herself be gainsaid, sobbing a little, elbowing her way through the group of mental unborns, and leaving me to blow my pitch pipe for a minor key. Not that Hester's isn't one of the oldest stories in the world, too. No matter how newly told, she is as old as sin, and sin is but a few weeks younger than love and how often the two are interchangeable!
Remember Manuel and Old Pedro, whom he killed, and Jim Bevins, whom he tore nearly to pieces and crippled for life, to say nothing of the cattle and the horses he has killed. And now that we have him where he can't get away, I am for showing him that man is his master, strong and ferocious as he is, before killing him.
In his flight, unfortunately for him, and luckily for us, he dropped one of his shoes. Leaving Williams in the charge of Farley and "Long Doc," as we called the man with the pack-mule, Green and myself struck out after Bevins as fast as possible.
