He's certainly doing his duty. Now if his father'd lived you two could have got married by this time maybe, though you're too young yet." Diantha washed and put away the dishes she had used, saw that the pantry was in its usual delicate order, and proceeded to set the table, with light steps and no clatter of dishes. "I'm twenty-one," she said. "Yes, you're twenty-one," her mother allowed.
If your father'd just had the gumption to hold out, they'd have had to pay him anything he asked. If he'd just had the gumption and a little manly COURAGE " "Hush!" Alice whispered, for her mother's voice grew louder. "Hush! He'll hear you, mama." "Could he hear me too often?" the embittered lady asked.
"I tell you I WASN'T!" and this was true. Among the divers feelings Laura had experienced that afternoon, pity had not been included. "If you want to be chums with such a mangy beast, you'd better go to school in a lock-up." "I don't know what my father'd say, if he knew I'd been in the same class as a pickpocket," said the daughter of a minister from Brisbane.
Now go just as fast as you can, but don't git arrested." As she sat down by the side of Daphne she added: "I'm always in mortal fear of being arrested, 'cause I like to go fast. I don't care about the arrested part, but it'd git my name in the papers again and then your father'd make me one of his 'severity' visits, and I don't seem never to git used to them.
"But what your father won he held." Here Pons paused to hold up to scorn my new scarlet satin doublet a wondrous thing of which I had been extravagant. "Sixty ducats for that," Pons indicted. "Your father'd have seen all the tailors and Jews of Christendom roasting in hell before he'd a-paid such a price." And while we dressed that is, while Pons helped me to dress I continued to quip with him.
It might be some fun, after all, to have somebody round all the time to—in that untranslatable girls' phrase—"carry on with." "But I don't see what's up," said Gypsy, winking and blinking like an owl to keep her eyes open. "Why, I was afraid father'd get off before I was awake, so I was determined he shouldn't. I guess I kept waking up pretty much all night to see if it wasn't time."
They sat for a couple of hours together on the edge of the cliff, talking to one another about such and other subjects, till, at last, Selah asked the time, hurriedly, and declared she must go off at once, or father'd be in a tearing passion. Herbert walked back with her through the green lanes in the golden mass of gorse, till he reached the brow of the hill by the fisher village.
Your father'd thank me, my tender hearted Miss." She bit her lip and turned away from him. He watched her a moment, then called, "Are you riding back to the house? My horse is right back there and I'll ride with you." "No," she answered quietly. "I'm not going back just yet." She walked on to where the dead cub lay stood looking down on it a moment and then moved on.
Oh, the children. I've told Harkness to put a table in the conservatory and make it Christmasy." "You're clever, Robin. Harkness will do it for you but, oh, he'll hate it; I can hear him 'things aren't like they used to be. As my father'd say-you're killing the goose that lays the golden egg, all righto. Budge will tell Madame, sure's anything."
It was a broilin' 'ot day, and I was tired, 'avin' been stoopin' over the baskits since four in the morning, and as I put the leaves over the plums I touched 'em; they felt so lovely and cool, and looked so juicy-like, I felt I must eat one, and I did; there was just six on 'em, and when I'd bin and eat one, there seemed such a empty place left in the punnit, that I knew father'd be sure to see it, so I eat 'em all, and then threw the punnit to one side.
