"No'm," Jerry promised, and then at the look of disappointment and longing on her face, cried, "No, Mother!" He ran and gave her a good-by hug. "I'll wait right here." When Jerry and Danny and Chris were left alone, there was an abashed silence at first, broken after a minute by Chris' remarking: "Gee, ain't it excitin', Jerry!
"This here ain't as excitin' as I thought. I reckon there ain't no redskins nohow." "What!" cried Polly Ann, in loud scorn, "ye're a-goin' to desert? There'll be redskins enough by and by, I'll warrant ye." "How'd you like to come along of us," says Riley; "that ain't any place for wimmen, over yonder." "Along of you!" cried Polly Ann, with flashing eyes. "Do you hear that, Davy?" I did.
'T was the ole union meetin'-house, down to the corner, ye know, an' they had n't got no reg'lar s'pply, an' ye never knowed what sort ye 'd hear, so 't was kind o' excitin'. "'T was late, 'most 'leven o'clock, an' the sarm'n had begun. There was a strange man a-preachin', some one from over to the hotel. I never heerd his name, I never seed him from that day to this; but I knowed his face.
I'll come over there and larrup some o' you, if you don't mind me." "What's excitin' Shorty so, to make him yell that way? wondered Si, stopping in his shoveling down the embankment upon the rebel dead, and wiping his hot face.
He don't laik t' use dat promiscuious laik, 'cause so many folks bodder him. If I was t' tell yo' his real name yo'd open yo' eyes wider yet. But take it from me," went on Shag, "he don't need no books t' make excitin' readin' fo' him! He's been froo it fo' yeahs!" "Sufferin' tadpoles!" murmured the boy. "And to think I was offering him a detective yarn! Say, no wonder he flew at me!"
"She's just got to the excitin' part," he said severely, and to the raconteur eagerly, "'N'en what?" Mrs. Marshall looked up at her husband's sister, smiled, and went on, Sylvia recognized the story as one of her own old favorites. "Well, it was very early dawn when she had to go over to the neighbor's to borrow some medicine for her father, who kept getting sicker all the time.
Father always used to call it turnin' in; it's a saltwater way of sayin' it, just as so many of his expressions were. I guess you must be pretty tired. I know I am. Take it by and large that is another of father's expressions we've had an excitin' evenin'." Galusha admitted the fact. His landlady regarded him with an odd expression.
The girl possessed a spirit of fearlessness, and she was not the one to advise Wild to show himself afraid of any gang of outlaws. "I reckon we've struck a blamed funny sort of camp, all right," remarked the scout, as he pulled the ends of his long mustache. "It couldn't have been better if we'd been lookin' up somethin' that was ter be good an' excitin', could it?" "Hardly," answered Jim.
"Well, that's Barnum's.* That's where the Happy Family live, and the lions, and bears, and curiosities generally. It's a tip-top place. Haven't you ever been there? It's most as good as the Old Bowery, only the plays isn't quite so excitin'." * Since destroyed by fire, and rebuilt farther up Broadway, and again burned down in February. "I'll go if I get time," said Frank.
And it's a case of lockout, with the lady customers ragin' on the outside, and nobody knows what's takin' place behind the ground glass. That wa'n't excitin' enough to lure me from a steady job for long, though, unless some one was goin' to do more'n look desp'rate and talk spiteful. "Ah, why not smash something?" I sings out.
