"You can see that a mile off." Bob finished the frame on the inside, about the same time and together they started on the broad strip that was marked off around the walls. "Say lady, it's eleven o'clock. Can't we have that hand-out?" cried Bob Evans. "Not yet. Why you've only been working an hour!" exclaimed Bet indignantly. "Who ever heard of such a thing!" "Let's strike!"
What d'ye say, Martha? Got a big hand-out fer me now?" "No, Sam'l," was the quiet reply. "I really can't scold you this time. You did what was right in saving that poor girl from such a brutal father. But why didn't you tell me about it?" The captain shuffled uneasily, although his eyes twinkled. "I was really afraid to, Martha," he confessed. "But I was wrong. I'll never do sich a thing agin.
It seemed that all the skin went off my hips, as I shot inside with a bang. And none too soon. We lay still. He would have handed me a merciless drubbing if he had caught me, with my nether end hanging helplessly on the outside. We squatted on the floor of the refrigerator box. When we reached Yuma my pal rose to his feet. "Ain't yer goin' ta throw yer feet fer a hand-out?" he asked me.
I am the second gardener, and I used to work in the King of Greece's gardens at Corfu. I think that La Violette, the chef, is the man who stole the cuff-buttons. He's entirely too supercilious, and kicks me out of the kitchen every time I try to get in after a hand-out!" "All right. If I were Louis I'd do the same. Beat it. Next!"
I'll admit I wasn't quite so thrilled. You see, I'd been through all that with the Gummidges two or three times before and the novelty had sort of worn off. Besides, that last rescue act we'd pulled had been no common charity hand-out.
Why shouldn't Morn and Eve come corporeally walking up their lawn, with little or no clothes on, or Despair be sitting in their woods with her hair over her face, or Famine coming gauntly up to their back door for a hand-out?
Phil dropped his paint brush and settled himself in an easy chair. "No hand-out, no more work!" "That's right!" agreed Bob, capturing another chair. "Oh you terrible boys! We might as well do it ourselves if we've got to stop every hour and feed you. There's nothing ready yet anyway." Bet frowned on her friends.
"Ain't this new style of tramp funny? Now instead of coming round to the back door and asking for a hand-out like any self-respecting tramp had ought to, they march up to the front door, and they're somebody with two or three names that's walking round the world on a wager they made with one of the Vanderbilt boys or John D. Rockefeller.
Ride right over into the stables yonder; wake up the stable-men and tell them to rub him down and blanket him at once, and then to saddle Trix and Rob Roy as quickly as they can. And while they're looking after the horses, you go over to the boarding-house and wake up the cook and tell him to get us up a good, substantial hand-out; we'll need it before morning.
"Now, speaking as one gentleman to another, do you happen to know where we can get a hand-out?" "'And-out?" inquired the puzzled negro. "Yes; a lunch. Can't you lead me to a banana vine or a breadfruit bakery? I'm starving. They grow the finest cocoanuts in the world right here worth five cents apiece; they require no care, have no worms, no bugs. You sit still and they drop in your lap.
