"But it wasn't that way we was lookin' at it, Joe," returned Nellie, with a laugh. "Bob was explainin' to me how pleasant a change it would be after the cold grey sea an' sky we're havin' just now." "Well, it may be so; but whatever way ye may look at it, you'll change yer mind, more or less, when you cross the line.
But it's soon over, and the next minute he's listenin' thoughtful while Old Hickory is explainin' how I'm the one who can tow him around the munition shops. "Torchy," Mr. Ellins winds up with, shootin' me a meanin' look from under his bushy eyebrows, "I want you to show the Lieutenant our main works." "Eh?" says I, gawpin'. For he knew very well there wasn't any such thing.
"She won't bother explainin' nothin' to a baby," sez I. "She'll just send the old man out to get it." He looked sort o' disgusted like, as if he wasn't used to arguin' with a man what could handle logic an' make points. "You're just like the rest," sez he. "What I mean is, that every man who has ever been on earth is just sort of an overseer for them what is yet to come.
If she is one kind of a person, we can offer to pay for lodgin's and horse-feed; but if she is another kind, we must steer clear of mentionin' pay, for it will make her angry. You had better leave the explainin' business to me." I was about to reply that I was more than willing to do so when the door opened and a person entered evidently the mistress of the house.
Robert was he couldn't see him in person; but wouldn't he please state the case in full so no time might be lost in actin' one way or the other? Inside of three minutes too, he has his papers spread out and is explainin' his by-product scheme for mill tailings, with me busy takin' notes on a pad.

"I wa'n't findin' no fault," he said uneasily. "I was just explainin' why I couldn't resk any more o' my money on him." "That's all right," said the artist. "I want to see him." He found Uncle William sunning the kittens at the east of the house. He looked up with a nod as the artist appeared. "They're doin' fust-rate," he said, adjusting the clam-basket a little.
There were consternation and bewilderment in his expression, but very little fear. "He was preachin' down there in a tent," said Blicky, "an I jest waltzed him up without explainin'." "Sir, I want to be married at once," declared Kells, peremptorily. "Certainly. I'm at your service," replied the preacher. "But I deplore the the manner in which I've been approached."
Fin'lly he sends for Piddie. They confabbed for a while, and as Piddie comes out he's still explainin' how he's sure he don't know, but most likely Mr. Robert understands all about it. "Hang what Robert understands!" snaps Old Hickory. "He isn't here, is he? And I want to know now. Torchy, come in here!" "Yes, Sir," says I, scentin' trouble and salutin' respectful.
"Shure, 'tis somethin' kin in baste an' maid, you're manin' thin?" "Quite so, Madame." "Simple like, an' understandin' what Noah understood in that ark av his for talk to the bastes he must have, explainin' what was for thim to do." "Like that, Madame." "Thrue for you, sir, 'tis as you say. There's language more than tongue of man can shpake.
