I ain't never had time, above my duties, to do more'n sleep an' eat," David replied. "But I've got time now t' stand up fur that girl yonder, if any consarned gossip takes t' handlin' her name lightly. That girl's put in my care by Billy, an' Billy an' me have stood by each other through many a gale. An' now, Mark Tapkins, I'd like t' hear what ye've got t' say out plain an' unvarnished.
Many a time we poor mortals think if we only had the handlin' of things, the world would be a pleasanter place for some of us, but I reckon the Lord knows His own business best. He usually manages to bring things out right in the end, so He does." Nancy sat before the kitchen stove, rocking to and fro, and gazing abstractedly before her.
I knew the throuble wud come soon enough widout any handlin' av mine, an' I dreaded ut sore. 'I heard Judy callin' me, but I hild straight on to the Shadds' quarthers, an' Dinah wud ha' kissed me but I put her back. "Whin all's said, darlin'," sez I, "you can give ut me if ye will, tho' I misdoubt 'twill be so easy to come by then."
"Not more'n ten minutes ago," he yelled; and I got up an' holding my cup in my hand I danced about twenty different dances, while that cook like to split his sides laughin'. He was a cook, the' was no gettin' around it, an' Jim, he turned in an' fed his face while first his cheeks would dimple with the gladness o' the moment, an' then his eyes would sadden as he thought of all the good eatin' he had missed by not knowin' the proper kind o' diplomacy to use in handlin' a cook.
"Ye see, captain," he said with jaunty easiness, "hosses is like wimmen; ye don't want ter use any standoffishness or shyness with THEM; a stiddy but keerless sort o' familiarity, a kind o' free but firm handlin', jess like this, to let her see who's master"
"Say, you never heard tell of a feller gettin' his own good, an' gettin' it quick. Cattle-thieves ain't easy handlin', an' I don't jump till I'm riled." Tresler made no answer, and the two reached the stable without exchanging another word. Inside they found Anton at work, cleaning harness. He looked up as they came in, and Tresler eyed him with a renewed interest.
But it isn't in it with the hit she'll make with you if you try to take up her feet. She's half-sister to a shot of dynamite. I'm only telling you so she won't kick your fool head off." "You talk like most a full-size man," said Overland. Down at the meadow, Overland looked at the colt and shook his head. "He is correct," he said succinctly. "That hoss don't welcome handlin' worth a bean."
"Have our clothes ready for us when we call for them, that's all." "What're you trying to do?" demanded the oarsman. "We've got two fellows to pick up," Clancy answered, "and I'm going to help. Are you a friend of Burton's?" "I get half he makes for handlin' the boat for him." "How long has he been doing this?" "Yesterday and to-day." "And your name is " "Mynie Boltwood."
Half the time I don't wear no gloves in winter 'less I'm handlin' things with snow on 'em," he said, to reassure her. They moved off down the ravine to the north, the keen wind in their faces. There was no moon, and it was very dark, notwithstanding the light of the stars. "How beautiful the sky is to-night!" said Ida, in a low voice. "Magnificent!"
But that article you're handlin' ain't wuth more'n my own, as I've wore for twenty year. An' you ain't got no di'mond rings on yer fingers. But what d'ye want ter look at the time for, anyhow?" "I'm going to ride back as far as Fort Laramie," Kiddie answered.
