Far's I can make out there's only one New Yorker, really, in the whole caboodle of 'em." "Which one?" "That kind of plain little one over there sensible looking, with the blue suit. I was talking to her. She was born right here in New York, but she doesn't live here that is, not in the city. Lives in some place in the country, in a house." A sort of look came into Mrs. Brewster's eyes.
Well, she cleaned house till one o'clock that night and at four she was up and at it again. And she kept on that way . . . far's I could see she never stopped. It was scour and sweep and dust everlasting, except on Sundays, and then she was just longing for Monday to begin again. But it was her way of amusing herself and I could have reconciled myself to it if she'd left me alone.
When she raised her face to those other faces crowded near, her eyes were round with surprise. "'S far's I can make out, she says her name's Mamie, and she's from Cuba. Well, wouldn't that eat you! I always thought they was dark complected." The leading lady lay on her bed and wept.
Well, old man, you're here to colleck, I s'pose. Take what's in sight; 'tain't none of it yourn, far's I know, but anything you claim you kin have, fer all me. I've lived honest all my days an' worked fer what I got. I've harbored thieves in my old age and trusted them that wa'n't fit to be trusted. I've allus paid my debts, Seabeck. I'm willin' to pay now fer bein' a fool." "W-where's Charlie?"
"Well," observed Hannah, on one occasion, "I presume likely you find it nice to be down here, where folks are folks and not just 'inmates. It must be dreadful to be an 'inmate." Imogene sniffed. "There's all kinds of inmates," she said, "same as there's all kinds of folks. Far's that goes, there's some folks couldn't be an inmate, if they wanted to. They wouldn't be let in." "Oh, is that so?
"Not up ON one IN one. A molehill is what a ground mole lives in, ain't it? It's just a sayin'.... Oh, never mind! Go on! Take a walk." "I don't want to walk. And a ground mole lives in a hole, not a hill, like a like a ant. You know that as well as I do. And, anyhow, nobody said anything about ground moles, or or mud turtles neither, far's that goes. No, nor five cent cigars.
"Far's I can dope it out," Blake said to Dave, "the old fellow did some good service for the Government during the war. He's had plenty of experience in the North; has some theories he wants to work out about subs and the Arctic. The Government has some little trick they want pulled off up in that North country. The Doctor volunteers to lead the expedition, and here we are!"
In a month she had the brotherly love of that camp gritting its teeth and throwing back twisters. 'Twas all legitimate, too, and there never was a pennyweight of scandal connected with her name. No, sir! Far's conduct goes, she's always been the shinin' female example of this country; but them qualities let her out. First move was to jump Bat Ruggles's town lot.
And then I was hampered with that bothering show, which I'm free of at last, thank the stars." He smoked on awhile, and then added, "How did she look when you passed by yesterday?" "Oh, she took no great heed of me, ye may well fancy; but she looked well enough, far's I know.
He was obviously in clothes which he did not put on every day, but the seriousness of this was counteracted by his hard felt hat, which he wore at an angle that disregarded convention. "Hello, Elmore! You back?" "That's about it." "You don't say! Back to stay?" "Far's I can see.
