It was the loveliest place! There weren't any pianos or schools or photograph salons or handkerchiefs in it!" "Then we'll go there!" the Talentless One cried. Loraine was busy cutting strips of paper. She cut four of varying lengths and dropped them into an empty cracker-box. "Somebody shake them up, everyone shut her eyes and draw one," she ordered.
But shure, the rale thing, the parson, when I was after tellin' 'im of the job what was at this end of the game, he up and balked divil take 'im! an' said he wasn't goin' to tie for time and eternity, two unknown quantities. What do ye think of that?" Jock thought hotly of it, and expressed his thought so fervidly that the boy on the cracker-box gave attention.
The rumble and bellow of the reply denoted Pete Ellinwood where he sat on a cracker-box, his six and a half feet of length sprawled halfway from one counter to the other. "There's Nat Burns's Hettie B. She'll carry sixteen, and so will Code Schofield's Laughing Lass mebbe more." "Huh! Yes, if he can git 'em," sneered a voice. "Git 'em! O' course he'll git 'em.
Once or twice a month the lumberman would snowshoe down to the little cabin at the forks. Entering, he would nod briefly and seat himself on a cracker-box. "How do, Charley," said he. "How do," replied Charley. They filled pipes and smoked. At rare intervals one of them made a remark, tersely, "Catch um three beaver las' week," remarked Charley. "Good haul," commented Thorpe.

He got the cover of a cracker-box, to place on his knees and serve for a desk, laid his stationery down beside him, re-read Maria's letter several times, spoiled several sheets of paper in trying to get his fingers limber enough for chirography, and then, begun the hardest, most anxious afternoon's work he had ever done, in writing the following letter: "Camp ov the 2 Hunderdth Injianny
And "Whack! Whack!" The captain, sitting upon a cracker-box and peering out through the hole, was tossed from side to side. He could see the Indians very plainly.

Their striped faces grinned gleefully as their quirts rose and fell and their heels hammered their ponies' sides.
I've set my mind on having that affair come off to-morrow, gol durn it, and I'm going to have a parson if I have to dangle down to the Junction on that old machine of yours, myself." A few added words of luridly picturesque intent gave force and colour to this declaration. The stranger on the cracker-box rose weakly and drew near.
Her eyes went comprehensively about that end of the cabin, with the depleted cracker-box, the half-emptied boxes of peaches and tomatoes, and the buckets that were all but empty of water.
