My companions soon accommodated themselves to their surroundings and fell asleep; but I was in too great a ferment to take matters so equably. I had no love for the buccaneers who had kidnapped me at Bristowe, to be sure: but my English pride was hurt at our capture by the French, and I quailed at the prospect of a long imprisonment in France.
Often the New North-west agents and the original Nor'-westers would camp or build side by side, and share equably in the fur trade with the natives; their canoemen and French-Canadian voyageurs would sing their boating songs in chorus as they paddled side by side across the lakes and down the rivers, or marched with their heavy loads over the portages and along the trails.
I'm vexed just about nine thousand dollars' worth, likely much more, if my hand hadn't been tipped. Mira!" addressing the dealer, who sat quietly holding the pack in his left hand, his right resting on the table. "I've a right to call for my card turned up, haven't I?" "Sure thing," said the dealer equably. "All right, then. One bad turn deserves another. But plenty cuidado!
But it is not this gradual decay of the mass of granite perishing equably from its external surface, and resolved into some of its component parts, that we are here to consider; it is only mentioned to show that the mass of granite is subject to decay, when exposed to the influence of the atmosphere, like every other compound mineral body, and to lose that perfect solidity which we find in the centre of the mass.
It was not in Banneker's placid face, nor in the unaltered tone wherein the pertinent query was couched. Nevertheless, the object of that query became aware that young Banneker was not a person to be trifled with. He now went on, equably to say: "Because, if you do, it might be as well to give me the chance of developing it."
"Uncle George dead," he said, at last, shaking his head. "Hadn't pleasure acquaintance, but good man. Good man." He shook his head again and gazed mistily at his wife. "He was a teetotaller," she remarked, casually. "He was tee-toiler," repeated Mr. Gribble, regarding her equably. "Good man. Uncle George dead-tee-toller." Mrs. Gribble gathered up her work and began to put it away.
"I believe he's daid, anyway," said Missou presently, peering down into the white face of the unconscious man. "Got to hang onto the remains, anyhow, for Miss Helen. Those coyotes are too much of the wolf breed to leave him with them." "Looks like they're gittin' the aim some better," equably remarked the other a minute later, when a spurt of sand flew up in front of him.
Once Ben had said: "Pop says I can have the north eighty on easy payments if when " Emma Byers had flushed up brightly, but had answered equably: "That's a fine piece. Your pop is an awful good man." The stolid exteriors of these two hid much that was fine and forceful. Emma Byers' thoughtful forehead and intelligent eyes would have revealed that in her. Her mother was dead.
"What difference does it make to you? What business is it of yours how I sell? You draw down your monthly pay, don't you? I raised you a notch last month without your asking for it, didn't I?" "That's so," agreed the foreman equably. "It's a cinch none of the boys have any kick coming at the wages." For a moment Trevors sat frowning up at Lee's inscrutable face. Then he laughed shortly.
"Nevertheless," observed he equably, as he shook hands with Lionel, before entering his own house, "I shall see John Massingbird to-morrow, and urge the hardship of the case upon him." It was probably with that view that Dr. West proceeded early on the following morning to Verner's Pride, after his night of search, instead of sleep, astonishing John Massingbird not a little.
