As the Dandy's new yard was not furnished yet with a draughting lane and branding pens, the mixed cattle were to be taken to the Bitter Springs yard; and by the time Jack had been seen off with them and our own camp packed up, the drovers had become so involved in baggage that Dan and the Dandy felt obliged to offer assistance.
It was his first experience of a South American dandy's pose towards women, or, to be exact, toward women who are young and pretty, and it seemed to him not the least marvelous event of an hour crammed with marvels that any man should endeavor to begin an active flirtation under such circumstances. He saw that Iris was seated on a camp stool. Her face was buried in her hands.
"What's the matter of yer?" inquired Tom, suspecting the cause of the dandy's discomfort. "Be you sick?" "It's enough to make one sick to sit at the table with you," answered the clerk. "Why?" "You are absolutely filthy. Don't you know any better than to come in where there are gentlemen?" "I don't see any except him," said Tom, indicating Ben with his glance. "This is really too much.
He pretended to be angry. He made Dandy hide his eyes once more. Again Dandy peeped slyly to see where Bob was hiding the corn. At last Showman Bob took little Dot's hat and tied it over Dandy's eyes. How the children did laugh! Dandy looked so funny with a little girl's hat on. Then Bob hid the ear of corn behind a box. He called, "Come, Dandy, come!" Dandy shook his head very hard.
As Dandy felt a trifle fresh, and chafed under the weight of the heavy rider and heavy dragoon bit, he switched his tail and tossed his head, being instantly rewarded by a fierce jerk on the huge curb and a shout of "whoa there!" that stung him into amazed and suffering revolt and drove poor Ray almost distracted. Dandy's mouth was tender as a woman's.
People of experience, at the first view of this young man, at his first entrance, merely by the way he entered the hall, decided that his role in society would be brilliant that more than one feminine heart would beat faster for his presence, that more than one dandy's wrath would be kindled by his successes. "How handsome he is!" a whisper went round among the ladies.
The faithful squire was kept by her side rather as a security for others than for, his particular services. Dandy's arms were crossed, and his countenance was gloomy.
"Tie him up quick, Tom," said Colonel Raybone. "It has been more work to flog this young cub than a dozen full-grown niggers." Long Tom fastened the straps around Dandy's wrists, and passed them through a band around the tree, about ten feet from the ground. He then pulled the victim up till his toes scarcely touched the earth. "Now, lay them on well," said the planter, vindictively.
"How many, Massa Raybone?" asked Tom, as he unrolled the long lash of his whip. "Lay on till I say stop." Dandy's flesh quivered, but his spirit shrunk more than his body from the contamination of the slave-master's scourge. The lash fell across his back his back, as white as that of any who read this page.
"Hope you wouldn't notice such a scamp as me, sah!" squeaked the dwarf in answer. "I will pwummel your cwooked legs, sah!" "Wipe that off of your own, sah, first," cried the other, dexterously turning a fresh plate of bean soup over the dandy's "spwotless cassimeres."
