At seven Mercer came with his supper. A little gleam of disappointment shot into his pale eyes when he found the last cigar gone from the box. Kent saw the expression and tried to grin good-humoredly. "I'm going to have Father Layonne bring me up another box in the morning, Mercer," he said. "That is, if I can get hold of him." "You probably can," snapped Mercer.
They had almost reached them when Calumet's voice brought them to a halt. His lips were wreathed in a cold grin, his eyes alight with a satanic humor. But the rage had gone from his voice; it was mocking, derisive. "Goin' to ride?" he said. "Oh, don't! Them horses look dead tired. Leave them here; they need a rest.
This might have been reckoned among the tricks Mordecai was used to, but at this moment it jarred him horribly, as if it had been a Satanic grin upon his prayer. "Child! child!" he called out with a strange cry that startled Jacob to his feet, and then he sank backward with a shudder, closing his eyes. "What?" said Jacob, quickly.
But when he attempted to do so he staggered. "He will need a stronger arm than yours," Payton said, with a grin. "May I offer mine?" For the first time she looked at him gratefully "Thank you," she said. "I can walk," the Colonel repeated obstinately. "A little giddy, that is all." But in the end he needed all the help that both could give him.
"Guess he wants something stronger than water," suggested Ned. "Si, si, si," agreed the guide, showing his white teeth in an approving grin. "You won't get anything stronger than that in this outfit, unless you cook yourself some coffee," muttered Tad. "That's what's the matter with him," decided Chunky, who had been observing the sick man keenly.
"That's what I did," replied Agnew. "Kin any one do it?" "Yes, sir!" "How come it everybody ain't down here doing it right now?" "The going is pretty stiff," said Harden, with a grin, glancing at his steaming legs. "Boss," Jonas turned the nugget over and over, "let's have a try at these ructions, before we go back!" "Are you game to take to the boats, Jonas?" asked Enoch.
"And then, of course, just when I should have been looking awfully sad and sympathetic, I had to go and grin, and he wanted to know why, and I said, 'Nothing, but he insisted, you know, so then I told him.
The porter's mouth widened into an appreciative grin. "That's right, young master, and there's the wagonette from the Crown and Bells waiting to take you there." A few minutes later, the luggage precariously piled up on the box-seat beside the driver, they were ambling through the leafy Devon lanes at an unhurried pace apparently dictated by the somewhat ancient quadruped between the shafts.
There was a vision of two long stockings with a hole in one knee, a faded velveteen suit, a pair of brass-tipped boots, a bright patch in the seat of the short breeches, and a look of triumph on a round face with a turn-up nose, while a grin, extending from ear to ear, discovered a loss of several front teeth in the big mouth.
"I don't obsarve much of the same mesilf," said the other, whose face nevertheless was on abroad grin; "I wasn't laughing at yersilf, or the mistake we made." "What was it then that amused you so much?" "I was thinkin' how funny it looked to see the deer and bears and buffaloes and foxes and panthers all standing round that big bowl and winkin' at each ither while they drank their health."
