"And what are you doing at six in the morning looking for a foreign-looking girl?" "It's the darndest luck," Johnny broke out explosively. "We we got lost last night going to a picnic on Old Baldy and then we got separated " "How?" "How?" Johnny stared back at Barry Elder and found something oddly fixed and challenging in that young man's eyes.
People I never heard of, the kind of bird that floats in and out on the train and probably doesn't know there is a Student-Body with troubles of its own; digs, crawling out into the light, blinking away at the line; Laboratory fiends in squads, actually losing twenty minutes of precious credit, the darndest crowd of resurrected stiffs the Quad ever saw, strung out from the registrar's office to the polls, every last one of them squeezing a ballot properly marked ahead, all looking as if it were a conferring of degrees, serious as hell, you know, and the eye of the Brown girl or of one of her crowd fastened on each of them.
"They'd think you were trying your darndest to get rid of me!" "I am," said the White Linen Nurse complacently. With a muttered ejaculation the Senior Surgeon jumped to his feet and stood glaring down at her. Quite ingenuously the White Linen Nurse met and parried the glare. "A gentleman and a red-haired kiddie and a great walloping house all at once! It's too much!" she confided genially.
Hope to see you in the Adirondacks next summer a bit more crowded than the Rockies, which are Jermyn's Mecca, but more home comforts appeal to a man of my build." He slipped away with the noiseless tread that is habitual to heavy men. Jermyn Atherton looked after his retreating figure and laughed uproariously. "Isn't he the darndest? A clam is communicative compared with Leslie.
Kelley did not answer that question. Instead he took a telegram from his pocket. "Read it, Labe," he whispered. "Read it. It's the darndest news the the darnedest good news ever you heard in your life. It don't seem as if it could he, but, by time, I guess 'tis. Anyhow, it's from the Red Cross folks and they'd ought to know." Laban stared at the telegram.
Jest laughs till he's sick every time he an' ol' John gits together. It's plum ridic'lous." The "Colonel" turned serious long enough to give him time to explain in a quivering, joyous tone: "0l' John, he just sets beside me and says the gol' darndest funniest things!" He could get no further. His last words were blown out in a gale of laughter. Mrs. Lukins had sat down with her knitting.
"Broke him, sir! broke him back to a sloop o war! old Ding-dong, the damdest, darndest, don't-care-a-cursest old sea-dog as ever set his teeth in a French line o battle ship, and wouldn't let go, though they fired double-shotted broadsides down his throat." "But why did they break him?" gasped the boy. "It doesn't sound like Nelson." The other smacked his long nose with a finger mysteriously.
The darndest, kickin'est, bitin'est beast th't ever I see, 'r ever wan' t' see ag'in! Good reddance! Don' wan' no snappin'-turkles in my stable! Whar's the man gone th't brought the critter?" "Whar he's gone? Guess y' better go 'n ask my ol man; he kerried him off lass' night; 'n' when he comes back, mebbe he 'll tell ye whar he's gone tew!"
Well, the drake I killed flyin' I couldn't find him that night, no how, for the stream swept him down, and I hadn't got no guide to go by, so I let him go then, but I was up next mornin' bright and airly, and started up the stream clean from the bridge here, up through Garry's backside, and my boghole, and so on along the meadows to Aunt Sally's run and looked in every willow bush that dammed the waters back, like, and every bunch of weeds, and brier-brake, all the way, and sure enough I found him, he'd been killed dead, and floated down the crick, and then the stream had washed him up into a heap of broken sticks and briers, and when the waters fell, for there had been a little freshet, they left him there breast uppermost and I was glad to find him for I think, Archer, as that shot was the nicest, prettiest, etarnal, darndest, long good shot, I iver did make, anyhow; and it was so dark I couldn't see him."
"That brook always was the darndest place," added Bijah, then both men bestirred themselves helpfully, the former hurrying to Miss Celia while the latter brought up the cart and made a bed of hay to lay her on. "Now then, boy, you go for the doctor.
