Rising and treading water under the taffrail, and seeing the trader still some fathoms off, he shook the wet from the rag of a beard with which long want of a razor had blurred his peaked chin and gathered up the ends of the conversation: "No, Dole, you can't play in bad luck f'rever. One sure-fire hunch, that's all. That makes me. When I get back to Broadway "
Lemme tell you this: you kin take my life away but you can't say I don' stan' by Dem'cratic party, mos' glorious party of Douglas an' Tilden, Hen'ricks, Henry Clay, an' George Washin'ton. I say to you they hain't no other party an' I'm member of it till death an' Hell an' f'rever after, so help me God!"
I wouldn't be its mother, 'n' 'f there was n't no one else to tell it so Mr. Kimball 'd rejoice to the first time I sent it down town alone. It's nigh to impossible to keep nothin' in the town with Mr. Kimball. A man f'rever talkin' like that 's bound to tell everythin' sooner or later, 'n' I never was one to set any great store o' faith on a talker.
He'd picked 'em all up, every bit o' worryin', prickin', hurtin' little thing, and he'd piled 'em up on his back till he had a big bundle that he allers carried about and never forgot for a minute. He was f'rever lookin' out for sech troublin' things, too, and he'd see 'em way ahead on him in his road, and sometimes he'd think he see 'em when there wa'n't any there't all.
Jim says I ought ter be gittin' book learnin' pretty soon." "Did you tell him that Miss Helen was teaching you to read and write a little while every afternoon?" "Yes, I told him. He liked it fust rate. Mis' Kennett said she'd let her childern stay f'rever with yer, ef they never larned a thing, 'nd so would I, dear, dear Miss Kate!
The other man had a gun, too, but he made not the slightest movement toward it, and he spoke even more quietly than before. "If I was you," he repeated, "bein' in th' c'ndition you're in, I'd beat it. You may have objections for t' state, thinkin' this ain't none o' my business, an' you c'n state 'em now or f'rever hold your peace."
Miss Eyester fibbed without a pang of conscience: "I never dreamed it." "I thought you wouldn't look at anybody unless they had money you bein' rich 'n' ever'thing." "In the winter I earn my living cataloguing books in a public library. I hate it." Pinkey laid an arm about her thin shoulders. "Say, what's the chanct of gittin' along with you f'rever an' ever?"
"No, you wouldn't know so much, Patsy, or at least you would get the right end first. Never mind, dear boy, you can't understand." "Jim says Mis' Kennett 'nd I needn't set such store by you, 'cause the fust chance you gits you'll git married." "Why, dear, I think we are very happy as we are, don't you?" "Yes, ef I could only stay f'rever, 'nd not go ter the reel school.
The hush of ten thousand miles was disturbed by nothing but that grotesque, microscopic babbling: "Say you play in bad luck. Well, you can't play in bad luck f'rever. Not if you're wise. One time I get five good wheezes. Good ones! Sure fire! One of 'em was the old one about the mother-'n-law and the doctor, only it had a perfectly novel turn to it. Did I make? I did not. Why?
"That bew'ful girl jus' glanced at me coldly jus' merely indicated the door, that bew'ful girl, and I passed out of her life f'rever. Two days later I found out jus' what eugenic meant, and, b'lieve me, from my heart, my sincere regret is that I was not college bred before I met that bew'ful girl!"
