Karen had slept little the night before, and kind Franz must have slept less; for he had given her his meagre bedroom and spent the night on the narrowest, hardest, most slippery of sofas in the sitting-room of the Bayswater lodging-house where Karen had found the Lippheims very cheaply, very grimly, not to say greasily, installed.
That was his plan, and it worked like a charm. When she had left the schooner a hundred yards up the river, the Barang stuck her nose into the soft mud, slid greasily forward, shuddered and stopped; and every minute she sank deeper, until in ten minutes she stood upright and firm, planted snugly in the river bottom, fair across the channel, leaving no passage fore or aft for anything of bigger craft than a canoe or ship's boat.
I entered the place, found a seat, and consulted the bill of fare. A greasily smiling Italian came to take my order. 'Madame is not wiz you, sare? the fellow said. We had not been there for a month, but he remembered; and, on the instant, I recalled our last visit the beginning of one of our fresh starts. And this was the end of it. Well! Suddenly I found myself reaching for my hat.
But he could not see just where he was being led, and with Saxton glowing at him as warmly and greasily as the mutton chops, Milt could only smile wanly, and reflectively feel the table leg to see if it was loose enough to jerk out in case of need. Saxton was being optimistic: "In fact, Claire and I both hope that some day when you've finished your engineering course, we'll see you in the East.
After he had bowed and smiled greasily, he tucked his napkin tighter under his chin and fell once more upon the gravy. He sopped his bread in it and scooped it up with his knife. But after there was no more gravy he wished to converse. He scrubbed his lips with one end of the napkin and called across to Ruth, who shrank behind her mother: "Vell, Miss Dene, you have today a shammy seen, not?"
He's just beat it with a lot of his rotten crowd, Monte Devine and Bettins and True. They're up to something crooked. 'I forgot. Moraga laughed greasily. 'Jim was in the back room there talking to Sanchia! Nice girl, no? he taunted Barbee. 'I'll kill you some day, Moraga, cursed Barbee thickly. Howard turned back to the door. 'I want your horse, Barbee, he said quickly. 'All right?
He continued to stare at the vision of what had happened in the long ago. His flesh was crawling as it had crawled that night when she clung to him, and his heart was warm with pity. It was a gray scene, greasy gray, and the rain drizzled greasily on the pavement stones.
Peter, a Texas-born Swede of immigrant parents, filled with the old Texas traditions, greasily shook hands with Wemple and Davies as well, saying "Howdy," as only the Texan born can say it. "Me," he answered Habert. "I ain't hellbent nowhere exceptin' to get away from the shell-fire. She's a caution, that Topila. Huh! but I limbered 'em up some. I was goin' every inch of twenty-five.
Rivers that overran their banks, fever-stricken lowlands where gaunt faces peered out from moldering cabins, bottomless swamps where the mud oozed greasily and where the alligator could be seen slowly moving his repulsive form all this stretched on for hundreds of miles to horrify and sicken the emigrants who came toiling on foot or struggling upon emaciated horses.
When a porker wriggled and hunched and nosed a space in the line fence, and slithered greasily through, Lad's work was cut out for him. It looked simple enough. But it was not simple. Nor was it safe. In the first instance, pigs were hard to start running.
