But, no sooner had he spoken than a big wave rolled, splish-splash-splosh, right up the shore of the pond, which was rather sandy, and it sprayed itself over the toes of Buddy and Brighteyes the wave splashed, you understand not the sand, of course. "Whee!" cried Buddy, all excited-like. "There's a wave!"
She looks rather excited-like. But as you know, ma'am, that's a good sign with her." "Yes, I think it is, Pegler." Pegler slipped noiselessly away, and then Blanche opened the envelope containing Mark Gifford's long-delayed Christmas letter. "Home Office, "December 23rd.
They was a-talkin' all excited-like 'bout a fight, or sumphin'. They was a-hollerin', 'Beat it, Larry! beat it! t' somewun, an' I heered some feller say: 'All right! give us my saddle! an' then it sounded like as if a horse was bein' taken out. I didn't heer no more after that went t' sleep. I 'member comin' down 'bout th' middle o' th' night t' git a drink at th' trough.
Now to be sure I thought I was done; but I noticed the dog seemed to perk up a bit, and next there was some one whispered outside the door, and I very near laughed out loud, for I knew it was my father and mother that had got out of bed with the noise. 'Whatever is it? says my mother. 'Hush! I don't know, says my father, excited-like, 'don't disturb the boy. I hope he didn't hear nothing.
In an instant he was on his feet in the middle of the room, applying force to his sleep-cogged wits. He threw open the sash. "Who's there? What is it?" Henry Ocock's groom. "I was to fetch you out to our place at once, governor." "But Is Mrs. Henry taken ill?" "Not as I know of," said the man dryly. "But her and the boss had a bit of a tiff on the way home, and Madam's excited-like."
All I had to do was to creep in excited-like, wake him up sudden, and tell him I was sure I had heard an Indian drum and their scalp-dance song out beyond the pickets, that they were over towards Battle Butte, and he could hear them if he would come out on the river-bank. 'He'd go quick, says Gower, 'and think of nothing. "And I wouldn't believe it, but he did.
"Oh, you know how it is when one's been all excited-like and worked up; we all say more than we mean. But that about dry bread! Well, there! I simply can't bear it. It's a wicked, cruel untruth, that's what it is; and besides, you can't be going to eat all the whole of what she's put down for you." Excitement was coming on again, and she ended with a loud ill-tempered mew.
Then, after talkin' it over excited-like for a few minutes, they'd calm down and wait for another. After a few months of this sort of trainin' they got purty good at it. I had one two-year-old rooster that made fifty-four mile an hour behind one of those sixty-horsepower Panhandles. When cars didn't come along often enough, they'd all turn out and chase jack-rabbits. They wasn't much fun at that.
Several of them mounted a few minutes ago and rode away rapidly towards the southwest. I saw others out on the prairie heading over to the bluffs. They seemed excited-like, and looked to be in full fighting trim." Dana's eyes light with eager hope. "Captain, they heard what I did. Some of our fellows are off there, taking short cut across country to find us, and are signalling with their trumpets.
You see we wants tew make sart'in 'twas our friend that was robbed and murdered, besides he might have left sum word for Spike an' me, an' your brothers not have mentioned it, bein' naturally excited-like over th' robbery an' murder."
