Hutter suddenly discovered tasks to perform elsewhere. And Flo said in her cool sweet drawl, somehow audacious and tantalizing, "Shore you two will want to spoon." "Now, Flo, Eastern girls are no longer old-fashioned enough for that," declared Glenn. "Too bad! Reckon I can't see how love could ever be old-fashioned. Good night, Glenn. Good night, Carley."
"I am quite ready, monsieur," said she, rising as she spoke, and gathering her cloak about her; and Garnache remarked that her voice had the southern drawl, her words the faintest suggestion of a patois. It was amazing how a lady born and bred could degenerate in the rusticity of Dauphiny. Pigs and cows, he made no doubt, had been her chief objectives.
The old man started and a gleam of excitement shot into his eyes while Meggy, seeming to share his emotion, crept closer to him. "Peter Levine wants you to sell," he repeated eagerly, then relaxed once more into his drawl, though his eyes reflected a strange inward turmoil. "Listen, Son," he said. "Ef you let that snake in the grass argy you into sellin', you're a bigger fool 'n I take you to be.
She sat down with the paper in her hand and stared hopelessly at the Gadfly. "W-well?" he said at last, with his soft, ironical drawl; "are you satisfied now that I must go?" "Yes, I suppose you must," she answered, sighing. "And I too." He looked up with a little start. "You too? But " "Of course.
