Here, pick up your duds, Mont Saint Jean!" "How wicked you are! How bad you must be!" cried the poor creature running here and there after the scraps and rags, which she tried to pick up, notwithstanding the blows they gave her. "I have never harmed any one," said she, weeping.
"Say! he's scared stiff about the banshee that yells down in the Drowned Lands. He'll be comin' up that way soon's it gets dark. If he seen a ghost there, he'd cut an' run, an' never come back." Davy's languor dropped from him like a garment. "Come on!" he whispered, his eyes shining. "You scoot home an' git that last year's punkin skin, an' I'll sneak some white duds out o' maw's bureau. Golly!
"I won't go!" flared Reade, his face showing red under its heavy coat of tan. "Oh, yes, you will," Dick insisted, "or else admit that you perjured yourself when you idealized your working duds this morning." "And are you really going to-morrow night?" Greg insisted. "I certainly am," young Prescott affirmed. That was too much of a poser for the other members of Dick & Co.
We're leaving a fine horse hid away somewhere hereabouts, but we can't help that; come on." In due time the Colonel, with the slave girl, and Harry with her pillow-case of duds, turned toward Fayette, and Gholson and I toward the brigade, at Union Church. Then, at last, my old friend and co-religionist let his wrath loose.
The mincemeat shrapnel had proved fairly destructive, but the turnip marmalade didn't seem to of developed much internal energy. All of them jars of marmalade proved to be what they call "duds." But you bet enough had gone up to make a good battle sketch. The ketchup, especial, was venomous. I met G.H. Stultz as I left the trenches.
Then the captain hung up the receiver and came back to the waiting room. "Bargain's made, Mr. Graves," he announced. "Pete'll have some sort of a turn-out alongside soon's he can get it harnessed. If you've got any extra storm duds in that satchel of yours, I'd advise you to put 'em on. We're goin' to have a rough passage."
If I'd ever glimpsed him before, I'd remember him. He'd be a bad man in a mix, eh?" And Pierre answered with devout earnestness: "He would." "But where'd you buy those duds, pal? Hey, look! Here's what I've been waiting for the Barneses and the girl that's visitin' 'em from the East." "What girl?" "Look!"
"You never did see me in town duds, did you, Casey?" His eyes went to the Little Woman's face and then to me. "I suppose you know what this wild Irishman has just pulled off back there," he said, tilting his head toward San Bernardino, many a mile away to the southwest.
But I'm here, anyhow, and that's somethin'. My! it's good to see you. You look as natural as life. Set down and let's look at you." The housekeeper sat down; she appeared glad of the opportunity. Her husband faced her, grinning broadly. "Just as handsome as ever; hey, old lady," he observed. "And look at the duds! Say, you're rigged up fine, from truck to keelson, ain't you, Zuby!
"And he hit it about right at that, as ye'r' likely to find out afore mornin'. Is that a woman with you?" "Yes may we come in?" "Oh, I reckon I ain't got no license to turn yer away, if yer mind ter risk it. Lord knows I 'm willin' 'nough to hav' company. Git yer duds, an' I 'll light up, so yer kin see a bit." He disappeared, and I lugged the grips to the top of the steps, where we waited.
