"Now you go," said Johnny, when at last he paused, breathless from all his exertions, and with one final shake released his captive; "go und tell de gran'fader I fin' vat is de matter out, und I gifs de vorst vips as I could gif to de vorst poy in all de down, und so I safes him some droubles. But if he dinks to gif you some more of de same veesic, I dink it not too moosh.
Und I dink der drouble iss largely dot der modern, high-bressure cifilization makes for der abnormal, vedder a man iss a millionaire or vorks in der brewery, contentment iss a state off der mind und if der mind vorks mit logic it vill content find in der simple dings." It sounded like a pronouncement of Bill's. But Lauer did not often grow serious.
They commenced sometimes "Dear Coz:" sometimes "My own Dink:" or "My own dear girl:" Always, while they were more or less affectionate, Josie could read between the lines that this Chester Hunt could command Cousin Dink to do as he chose. Whether he controlled her by affection or whether by some other force it was hard to say.
"Yes, and you remember what Mother said about talking with your mouth full," admonished Polly. "Yes, but she just said people would think we were po' whites if we had bad manners and would blame her. An' you 'member Dink said if we talked 'bout things bad men would git us." "Well, no bad men are going to get you while I am around, I can tell you that," declared Josie stoutly.
"Dink is too common for such a fine gentleman as Chester Hunt. He could never introduce her to the elite of the Southland." The other letter was addressed to the doctor at the sanitarium. In it he begged the physician to keep Mrs. Waller for a while longer. "I will make it worth your while. Don't let any of her letters get by.
"Well, den, I isht no badroon, for I don't own no land at all, not even mine own; and I ishn't petter asht no poty at all." "Yes, you be; you've only to think so, and you'll be the greatest gentleman of 'em all." "Well, den, I will dry and dink so, and be petter asht de greatest shentlemans of dem all.
He shall print him, den million copies, send him de vorlt ofer, in all der lankviches, to all der peoples. Dink uf dot! You shall be great Anarchist as I. Ve go down mit fame togedder!" He paused for Mr. O'Royster's reply, trembling with fanatical excitement. The reply was somewhat slow in coming. Mr. O'Royster, when his companion began to talk, had leaned his head on his arm and closed his eyes.
I fancy you have come for the children because he has written he might come to see you any day." Dink nodded miserably. "He may be on his way to Chicago now, but I rather fancy he will stop awhile and rest up. He has been ill with lumbago and on top of that the shock of finding his much loved brother, Stephen Waller, to be alive and well has been too much for him.
"She's gonter git me! She's gonter git me!" Peter told himself, but in spite of his despair he ran the faster. The vicious slap on Polly's soft cheek had for a moment staggered the little girl, but Polly was the stuff that heroines are made of. Down the walk she ran after Dink. Whatever got Peter would have to get her as well. Dink was gaining on Peter; Polly was gaining on Dink.
Polly has had a little trouble with her throat lately but the doctor assured Cousin Dink it was not infectious." "How long is it since you have seen them?" "Eh eh some time, now!" Captain Waller looked at Chester Hunt sadly. Josie saw pity mingled with indignation in his expression. Mrs. Waller said nothing and never once took her eyes from her husband's face.
