Metta Judson, from the back porch, here came into the piece with lines that the author had assuredly not written for her. "Giddap, there, you Dexter Gashwiler," called Metta loudly and with the best intentions. "You keep still," commanded the rider severely, not turning his head. What a long way it seemed to the ground! He had never dreamed that horses were so lofty.
It was a bad night, a night during which no lightkeeper should be absent from his post. And where was Seth? Seth's drive to Eastboro was a dismal journey. Joshua pounded along over the wet sand or through ruts filled with water, and not once during the trip was he ordered to "Giddap" or "Show some signs of life."
The ground was sandy in spots, and I guess we made a purty good load fur Beck, the old mule. She stopped, going up a little slope, after we had went about a mile from the Witherses'. Sam says he'll get out and walk, fur the wheels was in purty deep, and it was hard going. "Giddap, Beck!" says the old man. But Beck, she won't.
"And now, doctor, how much for the stuff you've given us?" asked Dick. "Giddap," retorted Dr. Bentley, giving his machine a start. "I helped introduce four of you boys to this world, so I'm in a measure responsible for you." "Stop at the drug store, Joe," Dick called out, as the horses were started. "Say, wasn't that fine of Dr. Bentley?" glowed Dick, as they rode along.
"Giddap, there, you old Dexter Gashwiler!" ordered Metta, and was not rebuked. But neither would Dexter yield to a woman's whim. "I'll tell you!" said Merton, now contemptuous of his mount. "Get the buggy whip and tickle his ribs." Metta sped on his errand, her eyes shining with the lust for torture.
Well," climbing back into the vehicle, "I said I'd never give him another after the row we had about the last, but I ain't got ambition enough to go clear over to the Denboro blacksmith's. I don't care. I don't care about nothin' any more. Giddap."
