It was only a day or two after that perilous "cruise," that Dab Kinzer met his old playmate, Jenny Walters, just in the edge of the village. "How well you look, Dabney!" remarked the sharp-tongued little lady. "Drowning must agree with you." "Yes," said Dab, "I like it." "Do you know what a fuss they made over you, when you were gone? I s'pose they'd nothing else to do."
So strong was the play-instinct in him, as well as was his constitution strong, that he continually outplayed Scraps to abject weariness, so that he could only lie on the deck and pant and laugh through air-draughty lips and dab futilely in the air with weak forepaws at Michael's continued ferocious- acted onslaughts.
It wasn't none of your common stealin's an' findin's; an' it aint everywhere you'll see a child that kin git itself lost back of Prince Albert's monnyment, an' git itself found at the operer in Paris, an' attend to both ends of the case itself. An', after all, them two high notes of hern was more good than Perkins's Indelible Dab."
When you catch sight of it you will, perhaps, at first be disappointed, for all you will see is a soft blur of white, as if someone had laid a dab of luminous paint on the sky with a finger; but as you gaze at it night after night and realize its unchangeableness, realize also that it is a mass of glowing gas, an island in space, infinitely distant, unsupported and inexplicable, something of the wonder of it will creep over you.
The "guest-chamber" had to be provided as well, or what would become of the good old Long Island customs of hospitality? Dab said nothing for a while, but one day, at dinner, just after the arrival of a letter from Miranda announcing the speedy return of herself and husband, he quietly remarked: "Now I can't sleep in Ham's room any longer, I suppose I'll have to go out on the roof.
Early to bed meant early to rise, necessarily; and they were all up and dressed the next morning, when Dick Lee slipped in on them. Before they had time to ask him a question, he exclaimed, "I say, Cap'n Dab, is you goin' to church dis mornin'?" "Of course. We're all going." "So I heerd Mrs. Myers tell Miss Almiry. She's goin' to take you along wid her when she goes."
Well might the Sycamore Ridge Weekly Banner declare that the "tables groaned with good things." There were not merely a little piddling dish of salad, a bite of cake, and a dab of ice-cream. There were turkey and potatoes and vegetables and fruit and bread and cake and pudding and pie four kinds of pie, mark you and preserves, and "Won't you please, Mrs.
I saw directly that this melodramatic music, beautiful as it is, did not suit the occasion, for though the gaily attuned audience was visibly affected by the phrase, Et moi j'ai l'ame triste, they did not show more signs of emotion than by making a little dab at their eyes with their pocket-handkerchiefs.
Our baggage will come over pretty soon." "Walk in, young gentlemen, walk in. I'm happy to see you. Almira? Here they are: put breakfast on the table right away." "That isn't a bad beginning," thought Dab. "That sounds a good deal like what Ham said of her. She knew we must be hungry." "Walk into the parlor, please. Breakfast'll be ready in one minute. I'll show you your rooms afterwards."
Kinzer and her daughters had now settled down into their new quarters as completely as if they had never known any others, and it seemed to Dab, now and then, as if they had taken almost too complete possession. His mother had her room, as a matter of course, and a big one. There could be no objection to that.
