'Tain't what I could offah to a gennelmun if so be I is got the makin's of a genuwine old-style julep what is de beverage of de fust fam'lies. But bein' as it is, it am mighty coolin', sah, and it got a li'le kick to it not much, but jes' 'bout enough to make a gennelmun feel lak he is one." Cookie's tones dripped humility and propitiation.
Go in and let Dollie give you some hot berry pie." "To cool 'em off," O'mie whispered in my ear. "Nothin' so coolin' as a hot berry pie in July. Let's you and me go to the creek an' thaw out." That evening Jean Pahusca found the jug supposed to be locked in Conlow's chest of tools inside his shop. I had found where that red forge light came from, and had watched it from my window many a night.
"Oh, blessed God," said Coolin, "I wish I hadn't towld him I wish I hadn't towld the b'y." "Told 'im wot?" said Bagshot. But Coolin of the Commissariat did not answer; his head was on his arms, and his arms were on his knees. "'E was a flower," said Henry Withers of the Sick Horse Depot.
"Oh, he," brightening a little "he Christian Portygee; live in Goa; I born Goa; mother not Portygee, mother native-high-caste Brahmin Coolin Brahmin; highest caste; no other so high caste. I high-caste Brahmin, too. Christian, too, same like father; high-caste Christian Brahmin, master Salvation Army." All this haltingly, and with difficulty.
An' 'e comeback, an' he brought with him William Connor that's all what come back." "How long did William live?" asked Coolin. "He was a good frind to me was Connor, a thrue frind he was to me. How long did the b'y live?" 'E lived long enough to 'ave McNeill shake 'im by the 'and.
"What was it ye dramed again, Coolin? Was there anything but the dramin' anny noise, or sound, or spakin'?" Coolin lied freely, for to disturb William Connor was little enough compensation for being held back at Suakim while the Berkshires and the Sikhs were off for a scrimmage in the desert.
All at once 'e spies a flag the Osnum Digners 'ad planted on the 'eavenly parapet. 'E opens 'is mouth and gives one yell, and makes for that bit of cotton. 'E got there, for 'e would not be denied. 'E got there an' 'e couldn't get back. But 'e made a rush for it " "A divil he was on rushes," broke in Private Coolin, wiping his mouth nervously.
Bring water to the thirsty be gravitation an' a four-inch main, an' shtrengthen the Bowl of the Subadar wid hay-cake, for he'll want it agin the day he laves Tamai behind! Go back to y'r condinsation, Coolin, an' take truth to y'r Bowl that there's many ways to die, an' one o' thim's in the commysariat, Coolin shame for ye!"
But the same decision served him in another and more distressing case of divided duty, which happened not long after. Well, the cook left, and retired some streets away to lodgings of her own; and there was Coolin in precisely the same situation with any young gentleman who has had the inestimable benefit of a faithful nurse.
His old friends were not to be neglected, but it seemed hardly decent to desert the new. This was how he solved the problem. Every morning, as soon as the door was opened, of posted Coolin to his uncle's, visited the children in the nursery, saluted the whole family, and was back at home in time for breakfast and his bit of fish.
