Sizin' up the premises, were you, and gettin' ready to collect a few souvenirs?" "A thousand pardons," says he, "if I have seem to intrude!" "Eh?" says I. That wa'n't exactly the comeback you'd expect from a second-story worker, and he has a queer foreign twist to his words. "It is possible," he goes on, "that I have achieved the grand mistake." "Maybe," says I, loosenin' up on him a little.
He'd sit there, big and ornamental, with his light blue eyes glued on Veronica, takin' it all in as fast as she could feed it to him, and lookin' almost intelligent. Course, when he did try a comeback in English he chopped his words up comic; but he could speak four other languages, and Veronica seemed pleased enough to find someone she could practice her French and German on.
I did not think I was robbed; because the money, when we came to calculate, was all right. I know human nature. He had thought to take it, but repented quite clear. However, I was naturally very angry, thought he'd comeback again meant to reprove him properly waited several days heard nothing of him grew uneasy would not attend longer to Mrs.
"You would call that another coincidence, Mr. Boyne?" I nodded, rather unable at the moment to think of a better word to use. "Two coincidences," she went on, "we are still in mathematics you can't add. They run by geometrical progression into the impossible." The phone rang. While I turned to answer it, my mind was still hunting a comeback to this.
"I let her know you had been, and that is, the result. She won't comeback. You won't see her again." "Where is she?" inquired Mr. Davis, frowning. Mrs. Smith shook her head again. "And it would be no use my telling you," she said. "What she has got is her own, and the law won't let you touch a penny of it without her consent. You must have treated her badly; why did you leave her?"
"This is no time to worry about that sort of thing; we've got to find some way of getting our hands on one of those ghost ships!" "I do suggest," put in the thick-necked Ossif, "that we keep a closer watch on General MacMaine. Now that the Earth animals are making a comeback, he might decide to turn his coat now, even if he has been innocent of any acts against Keroth so far."
He showed her the document written and signed by Maison, and attested by Judge Graney: This is to certify that I have tonight paid to Deal Sanderson the sum of ninety thousand dollars for three thousand head of cattle received to my full satisfaction. "There ain't no comeback to that!" exulted Sanderson. "Now we'll start buildin' that dam.
"She put her arm before her eyes as though to shut out the sight of me. "'For God's sake, go, she repeated, with words that cut like knives. 'Leave me alone, alone. "'I must see you tomorrow. "She turned on me furiously. "'No, no, no, she screamed, 'not tomorrow or ever. It would kill me to see you. Kill me. Go away never comeback. Do you hear? Never! Never!
"Seein' as how he tried to give us the double cross " "We'll fix Scraggsy all shipshape an' legal so's he won't have no comeback. Quick, grab some o' them empty potato crates an' pile 'em here where the stiffs was lyin' an' cover 'em up with the tarpaulin. I don't want Scraggsy to think the corpses is gone until I've hooked him good and plenty."
"Comeback, comeback, O my beloved!" he cried and cried. And the sea, a thousand miles or more away, still thought forever of the mountain. Vainly she peered over the western horizon for a glimpse of his proud head and honest face. The horizon was dark. Her lover was far beyond, forests, plains, hills, valleys, rivers, and other mountains intervened. Her watching was as hopeless as her love.
