"Ho! But then you see, Hammy, you're a philosopher, and I'm not, and that makes all the difference.
"If Anne doesn't kick up a wow?" hesitated Hammy, his small brown hand already in the larger one. "We'll arrange it with Anne." He waited for the arrival of the white-canopied perambulator and its fluttering-ribboned guardian to say, with a tone and smile that won her instant suffrages: "I'm going to borrow these children for a minute or so. Will you come into the shade and rest?
Spring began to loosen up about the first of March, an' by that time Artie owed me two million real dollars. Locals an' Hammy was into me for close to a billion, but I didn't treasure their humble offerings much, 'ceptin' as pipe-lighters. We was keyed up to a high pitch by this time, an' was beginnin' to get thin and ringey about the eyes.
Hamilton is really quite a wonderful cook; aren't you, Hammy, dear? Of course, I knew how to make fudge, and I am learning to scramble eggs. We go out for dinner a lot, too." "Isn't that nice?" says Vee, encouragin'. Gradually we got the whole story. It seems Blake wasn't a captain any more, but had an engineerin' job on one of the new tubes, so they had to stick in New York.
'O woman, in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou. Alas, Hammy! pain and anguish and every thing else may wring our unfortunate brows here long enough before woman, 'lovely woman, will come to our aid. What a rare sight it would be, now, to see even an ordinary house-maid or cook out here!
"Yes I do," said Harry; "and I'm very nearly as glad to meet with you, friend Jacques, as I would be to meet with him. But come; it's cold work talking here. Let's go to my room; there's a fire in the stove. Come along, Hammy;" and taking his new friend by the arm, he hurried him along to his quarters in the fort.
She might have thought you a little coward for running away and leaving your mother and all the other ladies behind, shut up in Gueldersdorp. For an officer and a gentleman must go on living and fighting while he has anything left to fight for, Hammy. Remember that." "Yes, Mister Colonel...." The drowsy eyes closed, the little head nodded off into slumber against the kind, strong shoulder.
Hammy blinked eyes that were already growing sleepy, and sucked the moustache of white from his upper-lip with relish, remarking: "I dwinked it all, and my tummy never shut. Now tell me what are ve confequences?" "A mother without a son, for one thing." The keen, hawk-eyes were gentle.
Well, I took one drink with him an' I told him the straight o' that cattle ring an' how Jim Jimison had surrendered on account o' the best little girl that walked, an' that he was the all around squarest boy the' was. I didn't cork up any natural eloquence I happened to have, an' I was some sorry 'at ol' Hammy couldn't have heard that plea. It was dramatic, an' I'll bet money on it.
Being informed that able-bodied male beings were not included in the list of the defenceless, he had become importunate in the matter of at least a bomb-proof shelter to be erected in his back-yard. "I had rather sit under Hammy and hear about Noah, with Berta on the other knee." Her heart went out wholly to him.... 'Out of the mouths of babes. ... Wasn't that one of the texts with promise?...
