She's dead easy. An' Miss Dianny sez, sez she, 'I'll drive her when she's thoroughly broken! An' he sez, 'You mean you ain't goin' out wi' me? An' she answers short-like, 'No. Then sez he, mighty riled, 'You shan't go out with that mare by yourself to meet no Treslers, sez he. 'I'll promise you that. See? Your father's on to your racket, I've seen to that.
Tresler asked, watching the little man's twisted face as he munched his tobacco. "What's to be done? Wal, I don't rightly know. Say, what wus you doin' around that house? I ain't askin' fer cur'osity. Ye see, if you got tellin' Jake as you wus round ther', it's likely he'd git real mad. Y' see, Jake's dead sweet on Miss Dianny. It gives him the needle that I'm around that house.
Joe sighed and reclosed his eyes; but it was only for a second. He opened them again and went on. "Say, you won't tell her Miss Dianny. Don't you tell her. Pore little soul, she'll wep them pretty eyes o' hers out, sure. Y' see, I know her. Y' see, I did git drunk yesterday. I knew I'd git it. So it don't signify. Don't tell her." "She'll be sure to hear of it."
The girl spoke almost in a whisper, leaning against the table with a deep sigh of weariness. "Say, Miss Dianny," the little man suggested softly, "that doc. feller said mebbe he'd give him three days. It's a real long spell. Seems to me you'll need to be up an' around come that time." "Oh, I shall be 'up and around, Joe."
But I swar to Gawd ef I'm pollutin' this airth on the day as sees Jake worritin' Miss Dianny, I'll perf'rate him till y' can't tell his dog-gone carkis from a parlor cinder-sifter." "Tell me how I can help, and count me in to the limit," said Tresler, catching, in his eagerness, something of the other's manner of expression.
He knows you an' him's bin sparkin', an' he's real mad. That's by the way, he sez. 'What I want to tell you's this. You're goin' to marry me, sure. See? An' your father's goin' to make you. An' Miss Dianny jest laffed right out at him. But her laff wa'n't easy.
"And didn't you ask her what it was all about?" asked Tresler, catching something of the other's manner. "Wal, no. That is, I guess I mentioned it like, but Miss Dianny wus that flustrated an' kind o' angry she jest went right up to her room, an' I thought best to git around hyar." Tresler was thinking hard; and while he thought he stood watching the door where they had both seen Jake disappear.
O' course, ther' ain't nuthin' wi' me an' Miss Dianny, 'cep' we're kind o' friendly. But Jake's that mean-sperrited an' jealous. She hates him like pizen. I know, 'cos I'm kind o' friendly wi' her, so to speak, meanin' nuthin', o' course. But that ain't the point. If you wus to tell him he'd make your head swim."
