He stood in front of it for many minutes, in silence, and Jethro watched him. At last he turned. "Where is she?" he asked. It was a queer question, and Jethro's answer was quite as lacking in convention. "G-gone to Brampton gone to Brampton." "Gone to Brampton! Do you mean to say ? What is she doing there?" Bob demanded. "Teachin' school," said Jethro; "g-got Miss Goddard's place."
Even Coniston folk had laughed at the idiosyncrasy which Jethro had of dressing his wife in brilliant colors, and the girl knew this. "G-got it for you to wear to Brampton on the Fourth of July, Cynthy," he said. "Uncle Jethro, I couldn't wear that to Brampton!" "You'd look like a queen," said he. "But I'm not a queen," objected Cynthia. "Rather hev somethin' else?"
"Well," he continued in his judicial manner, "the court has got to appoint an agent to repair that road, the agent will present the bill, and the town will have to pay the bill whatever it is. It's too bad, Jethro, that you have allowed this to be done." "You say you've got to app'int an agent?" "Yes I'm sorry " "Have you app'inted one?" "No." "G-got any candidates?" The judge scratched his head.
And then, Beverley as we s-struggled somehow I g-got hold of of the dagger and struck at him b-blindly. And oh, my God, Beverley I shall never forget how he ch-choked! I can hear it now! But I didn't mean to do it. Oh, I s-swear I never meant it, Beverley s-so help me, God!" "But he is dead," said Barnabas, "and now " "Y-you won't give me up, Beverley?" cried Barrymaine, clinging to his knees.
"I broke a toe," explained the athlete. "You broke a toe?" "He broke a toe!" wailed Glass, faintly. "If it's nothing but a toe, it won't hurt your running." Speed seized eagerly upon the faintest hope. "No. I'll be all right in a few weeks." Covington spoke carelessly, his eyes bent upon Jean Chapin. "You've g-got to run to-morrow." "What!"
"He's been trying to I don't know what. Kill me, I guess. Do you know him?" "Don't we!" they both exclaimed together. And then the one at the wheel said: "Has he g-got his g-gold machine here?" "Yes," I said, "he and another man. They're a couple of crooks, and they're cheating people out of stacks of money. How did you know him?" "Oh, he's b-been at the house.
They took his pack off, and he looked as if he would drop. They r-rushed at him, stripped him, t-tied him to a tree, piled dry branches and brush about him, and set them on fire. Then they formed a ring around him, and taunted and insulted him. A shower came up and put the fire out. They g-got more branches and lighted the fire again.
"Well," he continued in his judicial manner, "the court has got to appoint an agent to repair that road, the agent will present the bill, and the town will have to pay the bill whatever it is. It's too bad, Jethro, that you have allowed this to be done." "You say you've got to app'int an agent?" "Yes I'm sorry " "Have you app'inted one?" "No." "G-got any candidates?" The judge scratched his head.
I don't object to wading through a swarm of bees to get a little honey for a friend, but I think I'm entitled to know why he wants it." "G-got the honey?" asked Jethro. The senator took off his hat and wiped his brow, and then he stole a look at Jethro, with apparently barren results. "Jethro," he said, "people say you run that state of yours right up to the handle.
Besides, I g-got the worst of it. I'd rather die young or be hanged, any day, than to m-marry Sid Gray." Aunt Melvy followed them to the door, shaking her head. "I'se gwine make you chillun some good-luck bags. De fust time de new moon holds water I'se sholy gwine fix 'em. 'T ain't safe not to mind de signs; 't ain't safe."
