Gerald looked down at Charlie from the side of his eye, he was by a couple of inches or so the taller, then asked in his turn, a little crustily: "Do you really want to know?" "Why, no, my dear fellow, I don't, if that's your reply. It was not curiosity. I was only showing an amiable interest."
"Then her charities," he went on crustily; "she's got no money to be throwing away, yet every family on Billy-goat Hill comes to her when it gets into trouble." "Yes, and she doesn't hesitate to sit down in those dreadful hovels, and take those unclean babies in her arms. It has made me frightfully nervous since we came here. Gerald is so sensitive to germs."
"How far do we go, and what do we do when we get there?" asked Frisbie of his chief, when the two buckboards, heaving and lurching over the rock-strewn talus at the foot of the canyon cliff, had passed beyond sight and sound of the headquarters camp at the mouth of Horse Creek. "I'm not guessing any more," said Ford crustily.
Look where you throwed them coffee-grounds this morning," and he pointed to the tell-tale evidence beside the house. "Well, that ain't near so bad," said Shorty crustily. "That at least intended to be tidy." "Humph," said Si, with supreme disdainfulness. "It's the difference betwixt sneakin' an' straightout. I throwed mine right out in the street.
"Where is Irene?" he inquired. The maid was about to answer when a response came from above. "Here I am, father," cried Miss Mitchell. "Can't you come up here? I've been washing my hair; I've left it loose to dry. There is more breeze up here." "If you want to see me you'll trot down here," the old gentleman said, crustily.
"So 'tis," replied Mr. Stamps, apparently struck with the originality of the suggestion. "So 'tis!" He appeared to reflect deeply for a few seconds, but suddenly his eyes began to wander across the room and rested finally upon the corner in which the cradle stood. He jerked his head towards it. "It's thar, is it?" he enquired. "Yes, she's thar," Tom answered, rather crustily. "What of it?"
His physician, Dr. Mowbray, sprang from the car and up the steps. "Good morning, doctor!" the patient called out cheerily. "Hello!" answered Mowbray crustily. "But what's the big idea in your trying to do a Sherlock Holmes in this murder case?" The doctor was overbearing and opinionated. He had many patients, who were in the habit of knotowing to him and obeying his instructions implicitly.
"Unless, maybe, it will be on us for sticking round this old dump when we could get away that easy." And here the conversation ended, for Pie-Face Jones, waking crustily from stolen slumber, threatened Morrell and Oppenheimer with a report next morning that would mean the jacket for them. Me he did not threaten, for he knew I was doomed for the jacket anyway.
Those with him, more intent on getting something to eat, had pushed on back to where their haversacks and canteens and blankets had been left. Presently Shorty heard a call across the little valley: "Cor po ral Ell iott. Cor po ral Ell iott!" "Well, what is it?" Shorty called back, crustily. "Lit tle Pete and Sandy Ba ker is o ver here," came back upon the bright Spring air.
I want to see the inside of that letter to HIM. I'm relying on that being some help to unsnarl this tangle of telling who they are." "Well, he's started," reiterated Mrs. Holly, as she turned back into the house; "so I guess he'll get here if you wait long enough." "Oh, yes, he'll get here if we wait long enough," echoed Simeon Holly again, crustily.
