Half an hour afterward Simon, who was at work gathering corn and tomatoes for dinner in the garden behind the house, heard some one calling softly to him from the other side of the fence. Turning his head, he saw Mr. Egerton standing there, motioning to him to draw near. "Good-mornin', sah.
He answered their greeting with a cheery "Good-mornin'," and immediately turned his whole attention to bacon and eggs. Alice Weston wondered that his eyes should be so clear and care-free, knowing what she did of last night's escapade. Mrs. Adams was interested in the girl's riding-habit. It made her own plain riding-skirt and blouse appear rather countrified.
"Wheer is it?" asked Ezra, looking up again. Reuben handed him the note, and he sat with bent head above it for a long time. "Reuben, lad," he said then, "I'll wish thee a good-mornin'. I'm like to be poor company, and to tell the truth, lad, I want to be by mysen for a while. I've been shook a bit, my lad, I've been shook a bit."
I paid seven dollars to have it made up, and the lace on it cost a dollar a yard. I ain't obliged to be at anybody's beck and call." "I hope I ain't said anything to hurt your feelin's," said Mrs. Field, following her into the entry. "I've always done my own work, an' " "We won't speak of it again," said Mrs. Jay. "I'll bid you good-mornin', Mis' Maxwell."
She came towards them across the lagoon under a great press of sail, lying dangerously down, so that at times, in the heavier puffs, they thought she would turn turtle; covered the distance in fine style, luffed up smartly alongside, and emitted a haggard-looking white man in pyjamas. "Good-mornin', cap'n," said he, when he had made good his entrance.
He walked forward, throwing a murderous look at Clara as he passed her. Then he said to 'Arry, in a perfectly calm voice 'There's the door. 'I see there is, the other replied, grinning. 'Good-mornin', Mr. Rodman Williamson. Husband and wife faced each other as soon as the front door slammed. Clara was a tigress; she could not be terrified as Alice might have been by scowls and savage threats.
"Good-mornin' picknickin', eh?" he asked, with an attempt at geniality that was more repulsive than his natural manner. "How are you prospecting, eh?" said the master quietly, after the established colloquial formula of Red Mountain. "Yes a little in that way."
Somebody passed the window swiftly, the door opened abruptly, and Mrs. Deborah Thayer entered. "Good-mornin'," said she, and her voice rang out like a herald's defiance. Sarah Barnard arose, and went forward quickly. "Good-mornin'," she responded, with nervous eagerness. "Good-mornin', Mis' Thayer. Come in an' set down, won't you?" "I 'ain't come to set down," responded Deborah's deep voice.
"Le's see; what did you say your name was?" and Cap'n Amazon drew from the cash drawer a long and evidently fully annotated list of customers' names, prepared by Cap'n Abe. "I'm Mandy Baker she 'twas Mandy Card." "Yes. I find you here all right. Your bill o' ladin' seems good. Good-mornin', ma'am. Call again." Mandy Baker looked as though she desired to continue the conversation.
If some of us had thought more about her, maybe " He stopped, cleared his throat, and added: "I know you'll understand and forgive us, when you think it over. I'll tell her you called. Good-mornin'." If he supposed this was the end, he was mistaken. Annette was not so easily whipped or discouraged. She called again that afternoon, and again the next day.
