I want her to look like the background she's against here, and she doesn't!" "I should say not! Last night at dinner she threw herself back in her chair and yawned openly " "Openly! It was all of that! I saw her, across the table through the flowers. And, Billee, she's queer that's what she is, queer!" "Have you noticed that, too? Yes, she is queer, here take this Little Flower.
"I see you're a spoiled baby, that's what YOU are!" "Now, Little Billee!" and Patty's tone was cajoling, and her sideways glance and smile very provoking. "And I'd like to do my share of the spoiling!" he continued, looking at her laughing, dimpled face and wind-tossed curls. "So you shall!
But I'm not the sort to be called William. Well, DO call me something pleasant and amiable." "I'll call you Little Billee. That's Thackeray's, and therefore, it's all right. Now, can you slip me back into my own apartments as quietly as you took me away?" "Of course I can, as it's nearly dark now. Here we go!" He aided her up the stairs, and along the balcony to her own windows.
As for shelter, each man, and by that term I also include the boy ranchers, had a pair of blankets and a tarpaulin to spread under him on the ground. The days were hot, but the nights were cool in spite of camp fires. Of course each one "packed a gun," some of the cowboys two, and there was no lack of ammunition. Old Billee felt badly at not being able to go.
"Indeed you won't! I want my daughter to marry and live happy ever after, as I'm doing." "Are you, Patty? Are you happy?" As Billee asked this question a dozen times a day for the sheer joy of watching Patty's lovely face smile an affirmative, she didn't think it necessary to enlarge on the subject. "I do be," she said, succinctly, and Farnsworth believed her.
"Oh, it isn't your fault, Dick," he went on, as he saw that his cousin looked a bit crestfallen. "The tower is all right." "Then you saw some rustlers from it?" asked Nort. "No, that's the trouble," said Bud, ruefully. "We didn't see them but they were here all right last night. Tell us about it, Billee," he requested. "Well, there isn't an awful lot to tell," said the veteran cow puncher.
Don't you think so, Patty Mine?" "Yep. Oh, Billee, look, there's the place for the tea-house!" Patty pointed to a shady nook, halfway up the side of the ravine. "Great!" agreed Bill. "Wait a minute, I'll sketch it in."
Calling out to learn the cause of their merriment, I found the elder John had forgotten to eat his egg he had just found it in his coat-pocket, having put it in there to carry from the kitchen to the living-room. He often amused us by his recital of Thackeray's absurd "Little Billee," and by the application of some of the lines to events in the life at Woodchuck Lodge. Burroughs.
At first the boy ranchers thought it might be Old Billee Dobb who, with Buck Tooth, had been out to a distant part of the valley to see if he could get on the track of a mountain lion which had been killing cattle. But a glance showed the approaching singer, who was also a rider, to be a stranger.
So terrible was his appearance that Spitz was forced to forego disciplining him; but to cover his own discomfiture he turned upon the inoffensive and wailing Billee and drove him to the confines of the camp. By evening Perrault secured another dog, an old husky, long and lean and gaunt, with a battle-scarred face and a single eye which flashed a warning of prowess that commanded respect.
