Suppose you was a happy rattlesnake, Charley, with a large and promisin' fambly; suppose, now, on a frosty thirteenth of October you crawled under the cook-stove to get warm the minute the camp cook opened the door, and, before you limbered up enough to bite him, cooky lays cold and unfeelin' hands upon you and Jams you into the stove ain't the number thirteen goin' to carry unpleasant recollections for you from that on?
Sinton had shared bites of apple and nuts for weeks, for Billy had not learned how to eat anything without dividing with Jimmy and Belle. Since he had been separated from them, he shared with Wesley and Margaret. So he bent over the boy and received an instalment of cooky that almost choked him. "Now you can eat it!" shouted Billy in delight. "It's all dark! I can't see what you're doing at all!"
"Why can't we have a cooky sale with a few other things thrown in and use the proceeds for the decoration and furnishing of Rose House?" "We've had so many entertainments; can we do anything different enough for the Rosemonters to be willing to come?" "And spend?"
He answered by brushing some papers from the corner of the table and seating himself there. She took the chair and the sense of adventure was very vivid. David bit into a cooky. "Fine! This is good of you. Ordinarily I'm not hungry at all at noon habit, you know. But to-day I am. How did you happen to guess it?" "I didn't guess it. I just thought " She looked up at him again, timidly.
I became restless and anxious, and when Thomas Mugridge glared down the companion-way, sick and angry of countenance, I prepared to go about my duties. But Wolf Larsen cried out to him: "Cooky, you've got to hustle to-night. I'm busy with Hump, and you'll do the best you can without him." And again the unprecedented was established.
Ah! yes just like Cooky there dirty Cooky!" And that hapless son of Ham, who happened to be just crossing the main-deck, heard a marlingspike, which by ill luck was lying at hand, flying past his ears. "Ayacanora, if you heave any more things at Cooky, I must have you whipped," said Amyas, without, of course, any such intention.
Betsy took the cooky, but went on with the conversation by exclaiming, "HOW could ANY-body get along without matches? You HAVE to have matches." Aunt Abigail didn't answer at first. They were back in the kitchen now. She was looking at the clock again. "See here," she said; "it's time I began getting supper ready. We divide up on the work. Ann gets the dinner and I get the supper.
"I've had most enough," said Hortense taking another bite. Then she began to feel very strange. Everything about her seemed to grow larger and larger, except Andy. The entrance to the basement seemed as wide as the barn door; the lilac bush over her head looked as big as an oak tree, and the piece of cooky in her hand as big as a dinner plate. "What's happened to us?" Andy asked.
"Mine's a weeny bit bigger'n yours this time," decides Sheila, and holds her cooky heroically while Hans takes a just and lawful bite out of his sister's larger share. "The blessed little angels!" I say to myself, melting. "The dear, unselfish little sweeties!" and give each of them another cooky. Back to my typewriter. But the words flatly refuse to come now.
First thing I did was to reduce the staff and bar everything but bare necessaries I sent off the Chinamen and every spare hand. Ninnis and I and the stockman a first-rate chap, Moongarr Bill worked the run just the three of us. You can guess how we managed it. A Malay boy did cooky for the head-station. After Christmas I left Ninnis and Bill to look after the place.
