He tried t' make me think dirt of her, an' now now I I'm all alone; I ain't got nobody left oh, my God!" and huddling to the fence, Spike broke out into a fierce and anguished sobbing, while Soapy, spinning the revolver dexterously on his finger, watched him under drooping lids. "She was mighty good t' ye, Hermy was!" said he thoughtfully. "Don't ah, don't!" gasped Spike.
But those flounces and things are perfect! I hope all the other things fit as well?" Hermione flushed deeper still and caught her breath. "Oh, Hermy," said a soft, pleading little voice, "won't you see me, please?" Hermione started, her long lashes drooped suddenly, and then then, forgetful of costly lace, of dainty ruffles and ribbons, she was on her knees and had the child close in her arms.
For your supper, I mean?" "I believe it was." "Then," said Mrs. Trapes, rising, "I'll go an' buy it. Was you wantin' anything fetched, Hermy?" "If you wouldn't mind bringing a bunch of asparagus " "Sparrergrass!" exclaimed Mrs. Trapes in horror-struck tones, "why, it's anywhere from thirty to sixty cents " "But Arthur loves it, dear, and now that he's working so hard " "Arthur likes!" cried Mrs.
But she had made her selection with her eyes open, and was not disposed to quarrel with her bargain, because that which she had bought was no better than the article which she had known it to be when she was making her purchase. Nor was she even angry with her sister. "I will do the best I can, Hermy; you may be sure of that. But there are some things which it is useless to talk about."
And filling a glass with rye whisky, Soapy set it before M'Ginnis, who cursed him, took it up, and turned to Spike. "Fill it up, Kid," he commanded. "Not me, Bud, I I ain't here for that," said Spike. "I come t' tell ye as some dirty guy's been an' blown th' game on me t' Hermy; she she knows everything, an' to-night she drove me away from her "
"Anyway, you've disgusted Hermy!" "Ah, so you told her, did you?" "O' course I did!" "And what did she say?" "Laughed at first." "She has a beautiful laugh!" said Ravenslee musingly. "An' then she got thoughtful " "She's loveliest when she's thoughtful, I think," said Ravenslee. "An' then she got mad at you an' frowned " "She's very handsome when she frowns!" said Ravenslee.
Only deny it, Hermy, only say you didn't, an' I'll choke th' life out of any guy as says you did only deny it, Hermy." "But I don't want to deny it. If your spy had ears he can tell you that we are going to be married. Now go." Once more M'Ginnis reached up to his throat and trenched off the neckerchief altogether. "Married!" he cried, "an' t' him! He's foolin' ye, Hermy, by God he is!
But yet Hermy, her sister, thought it possible; and though Hermy was, as Archie had found out by his invisible scales, lighter than Julia, still she must know something of her sister's nature. And Hugh, who was by no means light who was a man of weight, with money and position, and firm ground beneath his feet he also thought that it might be so.
"Yes," he whispered hoarsely, "yes I'll never forget how she looked pale, so pale an' still, an' th' water runnin' out of her brown curls I I'll never forget " "Well," growled M'Ginnis, "watch out Hermy don't end th' same way." "No!" cried Spike. "Oh, my God no!" "What's she meetin' this millionaire in a wood for on the sly?" "She don't! Hermy ain't like that."
"And how did you happen to meet Ar " A plate crashed to pieces on the floor, and turning, she beheld Spike very red and rueful of visage. "'Fraid I've bent a plate, Hermy," he explained, and winking desperately at Ravenslee, he stooped to gather up the fragments. "Oh, Arthur, and we have so few " "Yes, I know but it's only the old cracked one, Hermy."
