"It's funny to hear a baby talking like that," she said. "We don't know this young man. He's probably only fooling anyway." Bim rose and stood very erect. "Mother, do you think I look like a baby?" she asked. "I tell you I'm every inch a woman," she added, mimicking her father in the speech of Lear. "But there are not many inches in you yet."
"I hope that isn't true," Abe answered. Soon Mrs. Kelso called Bim to set the table. She and Harry brought it out under the tree, where, in the cool shade, they had a merry dinner. When the dishes were put away Percy Brimstead arrived with his sister Annabel in their buggy. Bim went out to meet them and came into the dooryard with her arm around Annabel's waist.
At this Bim, recognizing the Sheriff, stationed himself in front of his preoccupied master, erected the bristles on the back of his neck, and growled. At Bim's growl, Billy Brackett said "Be quiet, sir!" and looked up. He wondered somewhat at the number of persons advancing towards him, and was also surprised to note that, with one exception, they were all people whom he knew.
"Come, Bim; your reputation as a 'coon dog is so well established that there is no need to test it any further." Poor Solon, who was too old and stiff to climb the tree, was completely mystified by these strange proceedings; but his expostulation of, "Wha wha's de meanin' ob dish yer !" was cut short by the departure of his companions, and he was obliged to hasten after them.
It was just at first, when one was very little and didn't know one's way about just to help babies not to be frightened. Timothy would tell you only he won't. Then he comes only a little just at special times like this was." Bim told you this with a slightly bored air, as though it were silly of you not to know, and really his air of certainty made an incredulous challenge a difficult thing.
"We expect much of you and we ought to be willing to do what we can to help." "Your faith will be my strength if I have any," said Abe. On his way home that night he thought of what Jack Kelso had said of democracy and friendship. On the twenty-second of November a letter came to Ann from Bim Kelso which announced that she was going to New Orleans for the winter with her husband.
You are to return to your house; he says he can dispose of these rebels without any assistance!" "Is that his opinion?" asked Taher, bowing profoundly. "The wisdom of the viceroy is inscrutable. I retire, as he commands." He hastily quitted the apartment, went down to his soldiers and called his bim bashis to his side.
Ann went to the ladder and called: "Bim, I saw you fly up that ladder. Come back down. Here's a right nice young man come to see you." "Is he good-looking?" Bim called. "Oh, purty as a picture, black eyes and hair and teeth like pearls, and tall and straight, and he's got a be-e-autiful little mustache." "That's enough!" Bim exclaimed. "I just wish there was a knot hole in this floor."
Bim ran to the edge of the raft, barked once or twice, and then returned to his place near the stove. "It must have been your singing that excited him, Grip," remarked Billy Brackett. "He generally acts that way when a person sings, and I have heretofore attributed it to envy, though I don't see how it could have been in this case."
"The wisdom of the common folk is in that beardless young giant," he said. "It is the wisdom of many generations gathered in the hard school of bitter experience. I wonder where it is going to lead him." As Eliphalet Biggs was going down the south road next morning he met Bim on her pony near the schoolhouse, returning from the field with her cow. They stopped.
