"There's plenty else," he urged defensively, "and I always try everything once." It was agreed that they should all meet again after an hour. Sansome renewed his promises to be on hand. The room Keith had engaged was on the second story, and quite a different sort of affair from that of the Sherwoods'. Indeed it was little more than a pine box, containing only the bare necessities.
'Ca'se ef dere's one t'ing Cato do enjoy hit's dark meat, yas, suh, hit's come so he won't even look at light meat no mo', he so sick o' feedin' off'n dese yere white shin-bones." "Well, den, why is yo' glad Ah come up yere to live?" demanded Zachariah defensively. "'Ca'se o' dis yere ole Black Hawk." "Ah don' know nuffin' 'bout no ole Black Hawk."
"All right bah!" retorted Jarvis. "I'm not saying it would work for us, or for any race of men. But it works for them." "But anarchy!" The captain was indignant. "Well, when you come right down to it," argued Jarvis defensively, "anarchy is the ideal form of government, if it works.
Toby had looked at his watch before throwing his match away. "It's ha' parce eight," he mentioned. A fierceness shook Sally. It was more than she could bear. She turned upon him in a fury. With such a snarling venom did she speak that Toby drew himself almost defensively to his full height. "Don't let me keep you!" she cried. "I didn't know you were in a hurry. If you want to go home, go. Go!"
"Why the grouch?" asked John sotto voce, looking down at Edna. "Is it chronic?" "There are monsters in this deep, John, with green eyes," she replied mysteriously, smiling. "They're tamable when young, though. Sit down a while." "He don't know nawthin' 'bout these ledges, does he?" asked Benny defensively. "No," replied Edna. "That's right.
"I'm not likely to need it myself to-night. Come, Sonny." The child shrank in the corner, his pudgy hands raised defensively. "It's only a little ways, and Sonny can run home fast," his mother coaxed. Against his ineffective reluctance she put on his coat and hat. Tolliver took the child by the hand and led him, sobbing unevenly, into the wind-haunted darkness.
"Reckon you'd like to mingle some with Nory, hey?" "W-w-w-well " began Sam defensively. "But she don't see it that way. Not in a hundred. Why, she'll be dancin' with Cap Franklin, or Batty, er some folks that's more in her line, you see. Why in h l don't you pick out somebody more in yer own bunch, like?" Curly was meaning to be only judicial, but he was cruel. Sam collapsed and sat speechless.
And not a particularly prepossessing stranger. In the dim light of Ye Cosy Nooke, to which her opening eyes had not yet grown accustomed, all she could see of the man was that he was remarkably stout. She stiffened defensively. This was what a girl who sat about in tea-rooms alone had to expect. "Hope I'm not late," said the stranger, sitting down and breathing heavily.
"We'd begun to get a bit anxious about you " Mulready began defensively. "So I surmised, from what Mrs. Hallam and Mr. Kirkwood told me.... Well?" The man found no ready answer. He fell back a pace to the railing, his features working with his deep chagrin.
"Shoot at something else." "Why shoot at all?" "I want to see you." "We might get a shot at something on the way home." "You're not obliging." She held out her hand for his revolver. "Let me see." "It makes me feel kind of foolish," he said defensively, "kind of like an old-fashioned cowboy, to be shooting right and left." On his right hand he held the heavy gun toward Kate.
