"My work is done for the day, Gussie; it is your work that is waiting in the kitchen," and she hurried down the steps, with Guy closely following, his face dark with anger at the insulting words he had heard used to his promised wife. "And this is the way they treat you, my darling!" he said, as he reached her side.
"Yet I might have guessed, if I had given it a thought, for he never asks after Gussie when he calls, and it is always Dexie he brings home when the girls are out when she will let him," and he laughed softly, as he remembered the playful account that Traverse had given him of the trouble he had in keeping Dexie in sight, and how she had escaped him sometimes by changing hats with one of her friends at the last moment, and so bewildering him by her changed appearance that it was hard to catch her until she was almost home.
"Tell him so, plainly; then, and give Gussie a chance. She is not so foolish as to allow any sentimentality to come between her and a fortune." "I have already told him so, as plainly as I can, mamma. But if you think I am standing in Gussie's way, just give Hugh McNeil this message from me.
They had furnished newly three years before, the year the business almost doubled, Sara and Gussie simultaneously, the two of them poring with bibliophiles' fervor over Grand Rapids catalogic literature. Bravely had Sara, even more so than Gussie, sacrificed her old regime to the dealer. Only a samovar remained.
"But don't go too far, nor take too many chances. Remember you have a mission to accomplish here in the North." The three adventurers were soon sleeping soundly in the bunks of the Gussie Brown, and far away, bobbing his head through a water-hole and shaking the icicles from his moustache, a great bull-walrus barked at the moon.
"Why, Cousin Gussie," he observed, for the third time; adding, "I I am surprised." His cousin's laugh made the little room echo. "Good, Loosh!" he exclaimed. "I guessed as much; you looked it. Well, it is all right; I'm here in the flesh. Aren't you glad to see me?" Galusha stammered that he was very glad to see him yes, indeed ah quite so very, of course. "Ah ah won't you sit down?" he asked.
Nolan, there's few times in my life when you'd see Casey Ryan missin' 'is supper whilst layin' tracks away from a fight. But if it was light enough you could gaze upon 'im now. And I must hand it t' the Gallopin' Gussie yuh give me the loan of fer the trip. She brung me home ahead of the sheriff and you can ask anybody if Casey Ryan himself can't be proud uh that!" "The sheriff?"
I tell you he's gun-shy." "That's so," said another boy. "I've seen him stop his ears with his fingers when Bert shot his gun off more than once, too." "Ought to be named 'Gussie," said Bert. "A great big fellow like Billy, scared of a gun! He must be sixteen, and large for his age at that. He's worse than that dog I had last year don't you remember, boys?
As Gussie left the room she rose to her feet, intending to send word to Guy to come and take her away, but, as she turned about, he caught her in his strong arms and held her close to him. "Oh, Guy! how long have you been here?" and she burst into tears. "Long enough to make up my mind that Gussie shall never get the chance to insult you again as she has done in my hearing.
Augustus did not return. "He and the detectives have got on a track, and are following it up," his wife said. "Trust Gussie!" When the ladies were about to sit down to breakfast, and still the master of the house had not returned, Grace was a little surprised. The neighbour who had played bridge with them came in. He had heard of the burglary, and was come to offer assistance, he said.
