And the man smiled, though his heart was heavy at the thought of the blank which his Golliwog's departure would leave in the home and the daily round. "Travel! Travel! Oh! darling to Egypt? "Why Egypt? Why not France or or Italy?" "Because I've got to go to Egypt sometime or another, Dads. I've got to see the desert and the mosques and the whites and blues and oranges and camels.
"See here," and he swung around in front of the alcalde, "you know me; an' you know I'd never try tew save th' neck of no criminal. But I know them boys, know their dads an' mas; an' I know they never committed no murder. Who seen 'em dew it? Whar are th' witnesses?" and his eyes glared around the circle of tense faces.
But he would have done it if he had not heard his daughter's voice. Rachel had come to the open window, and she uttered a frightened cry at sight of him perched high in the tree. "Oh, dads, do take care!" Next moment her mother came to the window; and they stood side by side, each with a hand to her eyes, watching him in the same attitude of anxiety.
Let me tell you there isn't a private school in the state that's got as swell a bunch as we got in Gamma Digamma this year. There's two fellows that their dads are millionaires. Say, gee, I ought to have a car of my own, like lots of the fellows." Babbitt almost rose. "A car of your own! Don't you want a yacht, and a house and lot? That pretty nearly takes the cake!

She never let any one else say such things about him. Still, dad WAS very different from other dads. Keith had to acknowledge that to himself.
"Don't alarm yourselves, my dears. I must give this job up, Mavis. I can't quite reach where I wanted to." "Mind how you come down," said Mavis. "Do come down carefully." "Yes, dads," said Rachel, "do please come down carefully." He climbed down slowly, feeling no joy in his respite, saying to himself: "I must think of some other way.
"But, not here," interjected Bud anxiously, as he glanced suspiciously around the big room at a number of roughly dressed men, who were standing in front of the bar or seated at tables playing cards. "I think that we had better wait until we get to our dads, before we show up the map and the nugget. We can't be too careful.
I've known students to buy velveteen pants in the spring and go around with big slouch hats and very long hair not because they were really artistic and Bohemian, but because it was easier to buy the trousers and have them charged than it was to find a quarter for a haircut. That's how busted live college students with unappreciative dads can get in the spring.
"The worst of it all was that the whole village began to suffer from catalepsy as Dads said, and then it all got into the newspapers, and occult societies camped at the gates, water diviners drilled on the lawns, the Merry Harvester was filled with 'ologists hailing from this country, and some genuine catamaniacs, until I had the bright idea of fastening a placard on the gates to say that the cat was dead, though she had suddenly disappeared the night the picture of the ancestress fell, owing honestly to a faulty plug in the wall.
Is there anyone in Sacramento City that knows either of you two boys?" "No," again answered Thure. "Not that I know of, unless," and his face brightened, "Captain Sutler is here. He knows both of us well. We are expecting to find our dads at Hangtown."
