The adventurers assumed their arms and packs, and the scout announced to Munro and Heyward that he and the Indians were at last in readiness to proceed. "If you find a man there, he shall die a flea's death." Merry Wives of Windsor.
His rapidly indrawn breath came forth with almost an ejaculation. Flea's eyes sought his for part of a minute. Then slowly she shook her head, a shadow of a smile broadening her lips. With effort she lifted her arms and whispered: "I don't love anyone else that is, no man! Be ye sure that ye love me?" Like an impetuous boy he gathered her up, caressing her hair, her eyes, her lips.
Through the clear glass the children saw a table dressed in all the gorgeousness of silver and crystal. At the spectacle a clamor for food set up in both aching stomachs, and the two passed as if by one accord to the porch. As they peered into the window with longing eyes, Squeaky was held tightly under Flea's arm; but Snatchet, resting wearily on Flukey's, suddenly sat up.
"A crack this way, and it's madness; that, and the world says genius. And some people have a peculiar gift for discovering it. Those who set themselves to it can find genius in a flea's jump." "But has it never occurred to you, that the power of loving that some women have a genius for loving? No, why do I ask! For if I am a book, you are a poster a placard." "What a people you are for words!
The plumes in the hats of the cunning little ladies nodded hither and thither, and the tiny swords of the cunning little gentlemen bobbed this way and that as the throng of dancers swept now here, now there. With one tiny foot, upon which she wore a lovely shoe made of a tanned flea's hide, the fairy queen beat time, yet she heard every word which the gallant elf prince said.
I won't, Screechy, if he was in every old eye in yer head! I won't, so there!" The darkness hid from Screech Owl the glint in Flea's eyes. "Who be it Lon said you was goin' with, Flea?" Scraggy must have forgotten her conversation with Lem but an hour or two before; for she evinced no knowledge of any man interested in Flea. "A one-armed man. Pappy says I'm to be his woman. Be I, Screechy?"
It is you who stay at home and will not let your sons go who are poor poor and naked and mean and small pisen poor, and so are your sons, with all their prosperous farms and fat cattle and their souls no bigger than a flea's if as big." "I came here to comfort the afflicted and not to be insulted," said Mrs. Reese, taking her departure, unregretted by anyone.
"Flukey ain't so awful sick, be he?" she questioned fearfully. Ann passed an arm tenderly around her. "Yes, child, he is very ill. My brother and I want to speak to you about him." "But he ain't goin' dead?" Her tone brought Horace nearer. In spite of Flea's somberness, the bouyancy of her youth obliterated the memory of every other girl he knew.
"Certainly the flea," replied Sister Ovide; "but in order to avoid the dangers of this chase, you must be careful in whatever spot you put your finger on the beast, to touch nothing else.... Then without regarding its cries, plaints, groans, efforts, and writhings, and the rebellion which frequently it attempts, you will press it under your thumb or other finger of the hand engaged in holding it, and with the other hand you will search for a veil to bind the flea's eyes and prevent it from leaping, as the beast seeing no longer clearly will not know where to go.
One day he will be studyin' th' small toe of th' flea's left hind foot, and th' next day he will be makin' a map of it, and th' next he will be takin' a statute of it in plaster, an th' next he will be photygraftin it, and th' next he will be writin' out all he has learned of it, and then he will be weeks and months correspondin' with other flea professors in all parts of th' worrld, seein' how what he has learned about th' little toe of th' flea's left hind foot agrees with what they have learned about it, and if they don't all agree, he goes at it agin, and does it all over agin, and mebby he dies when he is ninety years old and has only got one leg of th' flea studied out.
