In fact, I am sure he was awkward or he would have caught up with her when she tried to run away, and she with one shoe off and one shoe on like 'Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John!" "Let me help you out, Mrs. Buck." It was Jeff Bucknor, leaning over the little blue car.
"Oh, Bob, I beg of you to do no such thing," said Mrs. Bucknor gently, laying a restraining hand lightly on her husband's arm. Her touch was soft and light but it held Bob Bucknor as effectively as iron handcuffs might have. "If this girl is as forward as Mildred and Nan say she is, it would be very embarrassing to have her constantly asserting her kinship with our girls.
My granddaughter, Betty, was telling me only last night that the only reason Judy Buck wasn't asked to join their dancing club was that the Bucknor gals got their backs up about asking her and kind of talked them down calling Judy common and poor white trash and such like.
Billy was young then, but so trustworthy that her father had been willing to let him take charge of his daughter. She remembered the rejoicing in the family when she arrived. How they gathered around her and embraced her! Robert Bucknor, the father of the present owner, was then a young man. How gentle and tender he was with her, how courtly and kind!
"Why, Miss Ann, 'twas only yistiddy that young Marse Jeff Bucknor up an' made me a solemn promise that you wouldn't never want fer nothin' so long as he mought live an' be able ter do fer you." "That's very sweet of him, Billy, but this isn't his home alone. His mother is the mistress here. I think we might go visit Mr. Big Josh Bucknor for a while.
Aren't you afraid that that Jeff Bucknor will think you are running after him?" "Not in the least. He's not that kind of a man. I know by the way his ears are set and the way his hair grows on his forehead and the way his eyes crinkle up at the corners as though he never missed a joke. People who never miss jokes don't go around thinking other persons are running after them all the time.
The spirit of the sixties still breathed from it and it enveloped Miss Ann as in olden days. Cousin Ann Is Affronted Mrs. Bucknor stood aside while Uncle Billy and Jeff unpacked the carriage but as the visitor emerged she came forward. "How do you do, Cousin Ann?" she said, trying to put some warmth in her remark. "Have you driven far?"
Aunt Mandy had fried the chicken and Judith had not had to hurry to meet the six-thirty, so there was no excuse for the heightened color of her cheeks when she saw it was Jeff Bucknor. "In time to carry your 'empties'," he said, taking the basket from her. "Are you glad to see me?" "Yes!" "Very glad?" "Yes, very glad!" They followed the path through the beech grove.
I'm simply floating in a kind of nebulous haze in fact I believe I am charged with electricity." "Charged with foolishness, you mean!" "Oh, but Mumsy, look, we are right behind my cousins from Buck Hill. Let's don't go in too close to them. I'm entirely too happy to take a snubbing from Mildred Bucknor. Doesn't Cousin Ann Peyton look beautiful?" "You mean the old lady in hoop skirts?
I don't want poor Mr. Jeff Bucknor to have to take up for me which he is sure to do if the hammers begin to knock but even to spare his feelings I will not quit trying to sell my wares." "Judith, you must not lower yourself." "I'm not lowering myself one bit, Mumsy. Just look at it this way: Suppose I had a shop in Ryeville.
