Monsieur thought this most probable, and our hopes ran high. Beginning with a writing desk in the cabin, we examined the book shelves and every nook and corner, then passed to the staterooms. These gave the same impression of having been swept clean cupboards, presses, all were empty. Only in one drawer, delicately scented, was there a single item a hairpin.
As if from habit, however, he reached forth a trembling hand and deftly replaced a loose hairpin, then tucked in a stray lock which Felicite's vehemence had disarranged. "Y-your hat's on one side, my dear," he told her. She tossed her head and drew away, saying, "Your touch contaminates me monster!"
He dashed back to the bunk house, returned the tin, and rejoined Betty, who was slowly slitting the envelope of her letter with a hairpin. She had tucked her candy box under her arm, and Bob took the bridles of the two horses. "Mercy, what was that?" Betty glanced up startled, as a wild yell sounded over on their right.
"Only this: that I don't like to see a friend of mine make a fool of himself over a girl who does not care one hairpin for him." Béla smothered a curse. "How do you know that?" he asked. "Everyone knows that Elsa is over head and ears in love with Andor, and just won't look at anyone else." "Oho!" he sneered, "everyone knows that, do they?
A horse, at his worst, doesn't want to kill himself, while an automobile doesn't care what happens to it; and in these dreadful moments the only possible comfort would have been in sitting behind a thing with an instinct of self-preservation. As it was, I sat with every muscle tense and a feeling as if my hair was standing up so straight on my head that every hairpin must fall out.
But first, as my feelings have been considerably harassed, I will solace myself with a pipe." She was being taught to fill his pipe, and to light it, and on this occasion was made to take a couple of draws to prove to herself that she had not properly cleaned it with the hairpin, according to instructions given last night.
From its top a plume of falling water jetted out. "The dam's for irrigation," said Sally professionally, "and the Shed gets all its power from here. One of Dad's nightmares is that somebody may blow up this dam and leave Bootstrap and the Shed without power." Joe said nothing. He drove on up the trail as it climbed the canyon wall in hairpin slants. It was ticklish driving.
His former army was mucho amigo to the Americans, and once again the pretty drives around Dumaguete were quite safe, and once again the native, when passing an American, touched his hat and smilingly said good day in Visayan, a greeting which sounds uncommonly like "Give me a hairpin."
"But neither do I yearn to spend the day here. I'm hungry. I wonder if our absent host possesses a larder?" "If he does, you can't raid it," Ricky answered. "The door's locked, and that lock," she pointed to the bright disk of brass on the solid cabin door, "is a good one. I've already tried a hairpin on it," she added shamelessly. They sat awhile in silence.
Some of the men pulled the bed farther out, so that they, too, could pass round and see. "This piece o' board goes down so slick you'd never know it lifted out." She fitted it in with shaking hands, and then with her nails and a hairpin got it out. "And way in, underneath, I had this box. I always set it on a flat stone." She spoke as if this oversight were the thief's chief crime. "See?
