"You ain't aimin' to butt the engine clean offen the track, air yer?" Nance got his arm around her neck, and her arm around his knees, and thus entwined they made their way to the table. Uncle Jed Burks, uncle by courtesy, was a boarder by day and a gate-tender by night at the signal tower at the railroad crossing.
To provide, however, against all emergencies, Colonel Burks' brigade of three battalions was left for the present in rear of Kernstown, and here, too, remained four of the field batteries. With the remainder of his force, two brigades of infantry and a battery, Jackson moved off to his left. Two companies of the 5th Virginia were recruited from Winchester.
"I move we give the whelp six hours to git out'n the county," said Joe Longfield. "You all know I've been agin Toot." "That would be too merciful," said Burks. "Boys," the leader cried, "Wambush has broke a rule in tryin' this thing on us. You've heerd the motion; is thar a second?" "I second it," said Jim Hunter.
Burks, lyin' there in bed fer four months now, takes more of a hand in helpin' with the childern than Snawdor, who's up an' around." "Kin he handle hisself any better? Mr. Burks, I mean." "Improvin' right along. Nance has got him to workin' on a patent now. It's got somethin' to do with a engine switch. Wisht you could see the railroad yards she's rigged up on his bed.
"Joe's a-talkin' fer me," said Burks, simply, and he put his hand on his revolver. "We've been too hasty," began Jim Hunter again. "We've 'lowed Toot to inflame our minds agin this man, an' now I'll bet my hat he's innocent. I'd resk a hoss on it." "Thar's a gal in it, I'm a-thinkin'," opined Weston Burks, dryly.
Then seeing Dr. Adair, she blushed and wiped her hands on her apron. "You don't remember me, Doctor, do you? I helped you with Uncle Jed Burks at the signal tower that time when the lightning struck him." He looked her over, his glance traveling from her frank, friendly face to her strong bare arms. "Why, yes, I do. You and your brother had been to some fancy-dress affair.
Snawdor's demise he had been canonized, becoming the third member of the ghostly firm of Molloy, Yager, and Snawdor. "What about Uncle Jed?" asked Nance. "Where's he going?" Mrs. Snawdor laughed consciously and, in doing so, exhibited to full advantage the dazzling new teeth that were the pride of her life. "Oh, Mr. Burks is goin' with us," she said.
This coup d'etat caused considerable diversion, and the judge had to call the court sharply to order. "Is that your husband in the rear of the room?" he asked Mrs. Snawdor. "Law, no; that's Mr. Burks, our boarder. I begged Snawdor to come, but he's bashful." "Well, Mr. Burks, will you step forward and tell us what you know of this little girl?"
Did you tell her yer pa was a Molloy? An' Mr. Burks says yer maw was even better born than what Bud was. I'm goin' to git you a job myself. I'm goin' to take you up to Clarke's this very evenin'." "I don't want to work in a factory!" Nance said discontentedly, looking out of the window into the dirty court below. "I suppose you want to run a beauty parlor," said Mrs.
