"It is kind of unusual," Skinny continued, "of course it may not all be true, but one thing is sure th' Ramblin' Kid seems to have some sort of fascination for the Greasers and the Indians; they all worship him, and he's a witch when it comes to handling horses!" "He seems to be," Carolyn June commented thoughtfully.
There were those who said that she interpolated it in the Litany; but Carolyn, who was born Caroline and a Baptist, was too much impressed by the liturgy of what she called The Church to insert even an uncanonized comma. "Now don't touch it, Aunt Julia, for it's deliciously chic, and if you had your way you'd flatten it down right straight in the middle you know you would."
"The trade-mark of our bottling-works," he said facetiously; "to show that our products are pure." And Carolyn, despite his facetiousness, felt more than ever that he might easily become a poet. Medora viewed the floating leaves with indulgent appreciation. "But don't let's cumber ourselves with many cares," she suggested; "we are here to make the best of the afternoon.
The cowboys saw the flowers and exchanged glances. Old Heck and Skinny blushed. Carolyn June noticed the vacant place at her right. "Th' Ramblin' Kid ain't up yet," Skinny volunteered. "Then the storm did drive him to shelter, after all?" Carolyn June asked with the barest trace of contempt in her voice.
"I'm goin' to town!" Skinny answered shortly. "I'm going up to Eagle Butte and get on a hell of a drunk if I can get hold of any boot-leg whisky Carolyn June and me have bu'sted up on our love-making!" "Going to get drunk, are you?" the Ramblin' Kid queried with a note of scorn in his voice, "an' forget your sorrows?"
The instant Old Heck and Parker, in the Clagstone "Six," started for Eagle Butte and the cowboys disappeared down the lane in the direction of the big pasture, Skinny struggled into the white shirt. He planned to try its effect on Carolyn June while the others were away. If it did not produce results he would slip back to the bunk-house before they returned and change again to his normal dress.
Both animals seemed hungry for her caresses. "Oh, you darling you wonder!" the Ramblin' Kid Heard Carolyn June say, as she gave the maverick's head a tight squeeze just before running lightly back to the house. "I hope you beat that old Y-Bar horse so bad he'll never want to run again!
Sing Pete glided out of the kitchen door and hammered the triangle announcing the evening meal. At the instant Parker and the cowboys filed into the kitchen from the rear, Ophelia and Carolyn June, followed by Old Heck and Skinny Rawlins, both looking sheepish and somewhat ashamed, stepped into the room from the front.
As the cook and her daughter by their very homeliness had appalled and overwhelmed them, these two, Ophelia and Carolyn June, by their exactly opposite appearance stunned Old Heck and Skinny and rendered them speechless with embarrassment. Both were silently thankful they had shaved that morning and Skinny wondered if his face, like Old Heck's, was streaked with sweat and dust.
Cope, she knew, had never looked three times, all told, at Carolyn Thorpe; yet here was Carolyn saying that she... Cope dropped his eyes and slightly flushed. "I wonder if she knows it's out?" Mrs. Phillips went on swiftly. "Did you?" "I?" cried Cope, in dismay. "You were taking it all so calmly." "'Calmly'? I don't take it at all! Why should I? And why should you think there is any ref ?"
