One of the ablest observers, Ferd. Blumentritt, mentions, besides the Negritos, the Chinese and the whites, not less than 51 such tribes. He classifies them in one group as Malays, according to the plan now customary. The division rests primarily on a linguistic foundation.
"It was just as if somebody had taken the back of his finger," Laura added, "and run it all the way down the keyboard from the top note of the treble to the last note of the bass." "Oh, you must have been dreaming," said Ferd, opening the piano to examine it inside. "No, they weren't dreaming," said Mrs. Gilligan seriously. "Because I was very much awake when I heard it."
"I remember oh, I have a very good memory," and she glanced sideways at Teddy, who was beginning to look uncomfortable. "I remember a certain person telling me how beautifully you boys cooked while you were at camp." "Say, Billie, that's not fair," cried Teddy, with a guilty note in his voice that made his two comrades look at him accusingly. "Aha, we see the villain!" cried Ferd threateningly.
"He said something that time," whispered Teddy in her ear, and a little pink flush mounted to Billie's face, making her look prettier than ever. It was so nice to have one's friends like you! "Why, I was just thinking about the cooking," she said. "Do any of you boys know how to cook?" "Heavens, listen at her!" cried Ferd in alarm. "Is she going to set us to work already before we get there?
You try my soul with your forgivin' and forgivin'. Next you know you'll be sorry for Ferd, the dwarf, though 'tis he himself what's started all this bobery against 'Forty-niner, and eggs them silly Winklers on to be so so hateful. I'm glad that witless woman did lose her ring, and I hope it'll never be straightened out.
"Quit hindering the captain. Her story is what we want!" cried "Marty." "The dwarf can wait." "So we went on and on, and into a strange, dark tunnel, that scared me a little, yet made me more curious than ever to see the end of it all. The tunnel led to a cave, and in the cave there was a deep hole; and before I knew what he was doing, Ferd had slung a lariat about me and dropped me into it."
Ferd Eastman's wife had succumbed, some weeks before, to a second paralytic stroke, and Mary Lou wept unaffectedly at the thought of poor Ferd's grief. She said she couldn't help hoping that some sweet and lovely girl, "Ferd knows so many!" said Lou, sighing, would fill the empty place. Susan, with an unfavorable recollection of Ferd's fussy, important manner and red face, said nothing.
Knowing what he did of the Graylock son and heir, Dick had before now decided in his own mind that this failure of his father might be the making of Ferd; certainly it was not going to do him any particular harm to be thrown out on his own resources, and there was a chance that it would arouse a slumbering spark of ambition that may have never awakened only for this sudden change.
Trent, in a tremulous voice. "Si. Yes, indeed. In truth." "And all this time nobody knew or suspected it?" "Senorita, the master knew. That was part of his great goodness to the wicked one who would ruin him if he could. 'Ware Antonio 'ware Ferd. One is the shadow of the other. One thinks, the other works. When Antonio went, Ferd stayed. No good, senorita. Watch him."
"But it is a pity, yes. The so fine man and such a rider. He will ride no more, poor Antonio, si." Ninian's blood ran chill, yet he asked, still quietly, though foreseeing evil he dared not contemplate: "Who brought the word?" "Ferd, the dwarf," came the reply, as the dollar exchanged owners.
