It needed only a few brilliant operations, madly reckless in appearance but successful, to give Ault the newspaper sobriquet of the Young Napoleon. "Papa, what does he mean?" asked the eldest boy. "Jim Dustin says the papers call you Napoleon." "It means, my boy," said Ault, with a grim smile, "that I am devoted to your mother, St. Helena."
The stone that interests her most and that each time seems like a freshly new adventure is the simple shaft that bears no name, no date, just the tenderly sweet and pathetic little message: "I miss Thee so." Mrs. Jerry Dustin knows very well for whom that low green bed was made and who has had that little message of lonely love cut into stone. But she longs to know the rest of the story.
They appeared to know nobody else on the Sarah, though once Gordon met Dustin just as he was hurrying away from the Indian woman. The little remittance man took the pains to explain to Elliot later that he was trying to find out whether the Indians knew any English. Meteetse transferred with the other Kusiak passengers at the river junction.
Dorothy smiled, for this was distinctly encouraging, from at least one point of view. "You wear a cap, I suppose?" "Yes, mum, for dustin'. When I goes out I puts on my bonnet." "Can you do plain cooking?" inquired Dorothy, hastily, perceiving that she was treading upon dangerous ground. "Yes, mum. The more plain it is the better all around.
"Ah, gee whad he give her that for?" muttered Sammy Berwick. But Mrs. Dustin, after looking once into Peter's tortured eyes, stood up and laughed. "Well, children," she confessed, "I've never tasted beer in my life, but it's your party and I invited myself so it would be rude to refuse." And with that she picked up her glass.

And I ain't thinkin' of myself, you know, but about Dorindy. It worries me to see her wearin' herself out with with dustin' and such. It ain't sense and 'tain't good religion.
I'm the nacherelly thora kind, but if I'm pressed, an' there's more important things up to me than the dustin', I give it a lick an' a promise, same as the next one, an' let it go at that, till the time comes I can do better.

I wonder," Fanny digressed, "if it's true that Uncle Tony wanted to marry Mrs. Dustin once. Sadie Dundry says so but you know how unreliable Sadie is about what she knows.
I seen 'em dustin' north of us this mornin'. I ain't said anything to the boys, but it's likely they've seen 'em, too for they've got their eyes peeled. It's gettin' under my skin, an' if they don't come out into the open pretty soon and give us an idee of what game they're playin', me an' some of the boys is goin' to drag 'em out!"
