"But the skinnin' of them," objected Jimmy for decency sake, though his eyes were beginning to shine and his fingers to tremble. "Never ye mind about that," retorted Dannie. "I like to take my time to it, and fix them up nice. Elivin, did ye say?"
"Jimmy took elivin fine skins frae his traps before he started to town, and I got five more that are his, and I hae eight o' my own." Mary looked such a dream to Dannie, standing there all pink and warm and tidy in her fresh blue dress, that he blinked and smiled, half bewildered. "What did Jimmy go to town for?" she asked. "Whatever it was ye wanted," answered Dannie.
The dark earth of the banks peeping from under overhanging ice and snow, looked like the entrance to deep mysterious caves. Jimmy's superstitious soul readily peopled them with goblins and devils. He shuddered, and began to talk aloud to cheer himself. "Elivin muskrat skins, times fifteen cints apiece, one dollar sixty-five. That will buy more than I can hold. Hagginy!
"Elivin," answered Jimmy, breaking into a jig, supposedly to keep his feet warm, in reality because he could not stand quietly while Dannie pulled off his mittens, got out and unstrapped his wallet, and carefully counted out the money. "Is that all ye need?" he asked. For an instant Jimmy hesitated. Missing a chance to get even a few cents more meant a little shorter time at Casey's.
"How many, Dannie?" called Jimmy from afar. "Seven," answered Dannie. "What for ye?" "Elivin," replied Jimmy, with a bit of unconscious swagger. "I am havin' poor luck to-day." "How mony wad satisfy ye?" asked Dannie sarcastically. "Ain't got time to figure that," answered Jimmy, working in a double shuffle as he walked. "Thrash around a little, Dannie. It will warm you up."
