"'The brute ain't cooked yet if it don't open its mouth! proclaimed the General, the hair almost standing on his head, as he reclined back in fright. "'The critter's going to be generous, I do believe! chimed in Grandpapa, whose white cap, during the moment of excitement, had fallen over into Mrs.
Britt went over to the tavern to get his breakfast. By eating his three meals per day at the tavern he was indulging his new sense of liberty. He and Hittie always used to eat in the kitchen meals on the dot, as to time. The tavern was little and dingy, and Egypt was off the railroad line, and there were few patrons, and old Files cut his steak very close to the critter's horn.
"If it choked it couldn't ever steal another one." "But you don't WANT it to steal another one, do you?" "We-ll, if every one it stole meant my havin' as good an afternoon as this one's been, I'd " He stopped. Barbara ventured to spur him on. "You'd what?" she asked. "I'd give up whittlin' weather vanes and go mackerel-seinin' for the critter's benefit. Well er good day, ma'am."
He was installed at Zebulon Pike's with full instructions as to each "critter's" peculiarities and needs. Then one of the boys, who was going home for Christmas to Memphis, was induced to wait for Mr. Parker and to see him safe to Little Rock. His money was banked for him, and Mr. Stewart saw that he was properly clothed and made comfortable for the trip.
Things might ha' bin worse. You'd better go and haul down the flag, lad. I'll look arter the roast till ye come back." "The roast'll look after itself, daddy," said the Bu'ster; "you look after Squeaky, however, for that sly critter's always up to mischief."
The sad intelligence was announced by Elihu, who first perceived it. "The critter's gone," he said. "'Tain't no use doin' anything more." "The cow's dead!" repeated Mr. Walton, sorrowfully. He had known for an hour that this would be the probable termination of the disease. Still while there was life there was hope. Now both went out together.
"Look at that two-year-old, now," he would say, waving a cinnamon-brown hand toward the salient point of the picture. "Why, dang my hide, the critter's alive. I can jest hear him, 'lumpety-lump, a-cuttin' away from the herd, pretendin' he's skeered. He's a mean scamp, that there steer. Look at his eyes a-wallin' and his tail a-wavin'. He's true and nat'ral to life.
"I might have knowed it," Bill chided himself aloud as he replaced the gun. "Of course a wolf that knows enough to come in with the dogs at feedin' time, 'd know all about shooting-irons. I tell you right now, Henry, that critter's the cause of all our trouble. We'd have six dogs at the present time, 'stead of three, if it wasn't for her. An' I tell you right now, Henry, I'm goin' to get her.
Your next question required five strokes of the critter's foot. Then came six, and you followed it up with seven. Come, come, Mr. Merriwell, you're not dealing with chumps. I've seen horses that could do them little things, but it's no sign of brains. You're on the critter's back. By training it, you could git it so it would paw the ground every time you pressed your knee against its shoulder.
"The beau takes it more leisurely. There are two epochs in a critter's life of intense happiness, first when he doffs the petticoats, pantellets, the hermaphrodite rig of a child, and mounts the jacket and trowsers of a boy; and the other is when that gives way to a 'long tail blue, and a beard. He is then a man.
