The Greek scowled. "In that case," the Ramblin' Kid drawled, "I reckon I'll ride 'em a few rounds!" dropping into the chair he had dragged forward and which placed him with his back toward the bar. "What they costin' a stack?" he questioned, reaching to the left breast pocket of his shirt for a roll of bills.
Costin tiptoed across the room and closed the door which led to Jimmy's bedroom. "He's never been the same, sir, since Miss Farrow died asking your pardon," he added hurriedly. Sangster threw his cigarette end firewards. "It's a rotten business," he said heavily. In his own heart he agreed with Costin; he believed that it was Cynthia's death that was breaking Jimmy's heart.
Scotty asked, "So this isn't just any old ghost, it's a legendary one?" Jan nodded. "We even know its name. It's Seth Costin. He's the one that the creek was named for. But I'm getting ahead of myself. You see, this region was a battleground in the Civil War. Mosby's Raiders spent a lot of time around here.
Sangster answered good-temperedly that he didn't want anything in particular; privately he agreed with Costin that it was more than an ordinary chill that had drawn Jimmy's face and made such hollows beneath his eyes. He stood with his back to the fire looking down at him dubiously. "What have you been up to?" he asked. "Up to!" Jimmy echoed the phrase pettishly. "I haven't been up to anything.
But the Jedge advised me not to, said the mortgage was costin' me only six per cent., and why didn't I put the money where 'twas likely to be a good investment that would pay me eight or ten per cent.? Then I'd be makin' money, he said. I asked him to invest it for me, and he put it into the Bay Shore Land Company, where most of his own was." "Sho! I want to know!" broke in the Captain.
It's 'oh, Azuba, I guess. That's what I've been sayin' to myself for quite a spell. I'd have said it to your pa, too, if it would have done any good." "It wouldn't. We mustn't say a word to him, or anyone else." "I know. And yet, when I think of the way things are goin' at loose ends I have the shakes. Do you know what it's costin' to run this place the way it's run? I know.
"The Canterbury Theological Dictionary "The Christian Religion and Symbolic Logic, by Bishop K. F. Costin "The Handbook of Space Medicine " As Captain Quill called out the names of the books and put them into the packing case he'd brought, Mike marked them down while something began ticking in the back of his mind. "Item," said Captain Quill, "one crucifix." He paused. "Beautifully carved, too."
"Why, you see, Amarilly, Hallie's clo'es air sort of shabby-like, and when we git him in that shiny new caskit, they air agoin' to show up orful seedy. But I can't afford ter buy him a new suit jest for this onct." "Couldn't you rent a suit?" asked Amarilly, her ruling passion for business still dominating. "No; I jest can't, Amarilly. It's costin' me too much now."
Jimmy stood for a moment with his hand pressed hard over his eyes, then he took a step forward, and stopped again. "I can't I confound it all " Sangster caught his arm. "Don't be an ass; go to bed." He raised his voice; he called to Costin; between them they put Jimmy to bed and tucked him up.
I think he's nearly c'wored an' I'm mighty glad you is, Bud Billins, fur it's costin' a lot of mighty good crockery to c'wore you. "Now you all jes' lem'me 'lone, Mister Kingsley lem'me manage Bud. He's slo' mouthed as I'm tellin' you, but he's gittin' over them spells an' I'm gwinter c'wore him if I hafter go into the queensware bus'ness on my own hook.
