We let those men go by and then come back. I do w'at you want, Sam." "Will you give me a little grub, or won't you?" he insisted. "I'd rather starve than go with you!" She burst into tears. "All right, I give you food," she said. She turned back to the dugout, and, throwing back the cover of the grub-box, put what bread and smoked fish she had left into a cotton bag.
"No need to have a tea-party," said Ray with determined cheerfulness. "Mrs. Kronborg will bring the lunch, and it will be a darned good one." Giddy lounged against the car, holding his cigar between two thick fingers. "Then I guess she'll get it," he observed knowingly. "I don't think your musical friend is much on the grub-box. Has to keep her hands white to tickle the ivories."
Perrault found one with head buried in the grub-box. His club landed heavily on the gaunt ribs, and the grub-box was capsized on the ground. On the instant a score of the famished brutes were scrambling for the bread and bacon. The clubs fell upon them unheeded. They yelped and howled under the rain of blows, but struggled none the less madly till the last crumb had been devoured.
You got a trifle the better of me, Womble." He handled the sack lovingly, and with due appreciation of its preciousness carried it out to his sled. Returning, he gathered his pots and pans together, packed his grub-box, and rolled up his bed. When the sled was lashed and the complaining dogs harnessed, he returned into the cabin for his mittens.
Never sleep in the same place two nights going! That wagon there, and the grub-box is my home. It's a variegated life!" Garth bethought himself the old man would likely prove a valuable source of information. "You must know everybody in the country!" he said, feeling his way. "None better!" said Tom Lillywhite, bridling with pride. "Are there many white men at the Crossing?" asked Garth.
If you taste it so much there won't be any left to go on the table!" "Where's the bag of hard-tack, Garth?" "Grub-box number two; port side by the rail." "Idiot! You put them on the bottom of the box! The water's leaked through, and they're all mush underneath!" "What's the diff? Stick the soft ones in the lobscouse!"
Height, five feet, nine, she summed up from out of her gymnasium experience; and age anywhere between twenty-five and thirty, though nearer the former most likely. "Haven't many blankets," he said abruptly, pausing to drain his cup and set it over on the grub-box.
The next time she awoke, he carried her inside; and at the door of the tent, where he could look at her, and speak to her, he cooked her the best invalid's supper the grub-box and his own skill could afford. This same grub-box was an ever-fresh cause of anxiety to him; allowing for liberal contributions from his own gun, he could not see much more than a week's supply for two.
'You save the grub, yelled Billy above the roaring, pitiless flood, and dashed on. I knew Billy's head was cool and clear, so I plunged into the water, ice-cold and waist deep and before the merciless one could snatch it along, I had the grub-box safe. Meanwhile Rob and Billy had danced away out of sight along that wild canyon bank. I set out after them.
But what he's really doing is taking a team and his tent and supplies and staying with that hay until it's cut, cut and "collected," to use the word which the naive Lady Allie introduced into these parts. I have a suspicion that it is the wagging of tongues that's sending Peter out into his wilderness. But I've been busy getting his grub-box ready and I can at least see that he fares well.
