Its shadder's jest a creepin' up to the house: the minnit that shadder touches the wall, I'll shoot you down, as sure's my name's Hick Holt. Mind, I've gin ye warnin'!" "And I give you warning, Mr Holt, that I am prepared to defend myself; and if you miss " "Miss!" ejaculated he with a contemptuous toss of the head "miss, ye fool! thur's no fear o' that."
"One!" said Thad, as he tossed a young 'possum on deck. "But that tail is still there!" cried his comrade. "Two!" "My! you make my mouth water some. That tail " "Three, and that takes your old tail. Now, what d'ye say to that for good hick. Ain't we going to live high for a while?
They got a Pauline Frederick film on. I'm just crazy about Pauline Frederick." By this time they were walking sedately out of the park, not daring to look at each other. She watched him while he bought the tickets and then a box of caramels from the candy stand inside. "He knows what to do," she thought proudly. "He's not a bit of a hick."
One or two gives him the merry hail and asks where the Class of 1910 is holdin' the banquet. He'd done nearly five blocks before a flatfoot steps out of a doorway and waves a nightstick at him. "Hey, whaddye mean, pullin' that hick stuff?" demands the cop. "Sir!" says Barry, wavin' him off dignified. Then I mixes in. "It's perfectly all right, officer," says I. "I know him."
"I've sold out a half interest in my Blue Hill gold mine, and I've got the corn to show for it." So saying, he dug up a wad that a hound couldn't leap over. "Now, I'm going to pay you each $6,000 to cancel my contract," Skinski added, after our eyes had feasted on his roll. I looked at Bunch, and Bunch was stepping on his left foot to see if he was awake. "No, by Hick!
"Sure, that's the way it is in the book. But this is real. That big hick might be hurt or trapped. Maybe he needs our help!" "I know how you feel, Roger," replied Tom. "I want to take off and hunt for Astro myself, but Connel needs us. Don't forget that bunch of guys in uniforms back at Sinclair's.
"I wish to see Mr Holt," I replied, struggling hard to keep my temper. "Ye wish to see Mister Holt? Thur's no Mister Holt 'bout hyur." "No?" "No! damnation, no! Didn't ye hear me!" "Do I understand you to say, that Hickman Holt does not live here?" "You understan' me to say no sich thing. Eft's Hick Holt ye mean, he diz live hyur." "Hick Holt yes that is the name." "Wall what o't, ef't is?"
When they want anything from the village, Joel Blake gets it, if he doesn't forget. Ditto wood, ditto everything except meat. Some other hick brings that along when he has 'killed. They can only see one house from the front yard, and that is precisely a mile away by the road. Joel Blake lives nearer, but you can't see his house.
"'Twar nigh two weeks afore I heerd anything o' her; then I larned that she war gone away. Nobody could tell why or whar, for nobody knew, 'ceptin Hick Holt hisself; an' he ain't the sort o' man to tell saycrets. Lord o' mercy! I know nowt an' it's worse than I expected. I'd sooner heerd she war dead."
This was rather a literal interpretation of my demand; but, without permitting myself to be nonplussed by it, or paying any heed to the abrupt words of dismissal, I replied, half interrogatively: "You, then, are he? You are Hick Holt, I suppose?" "Who said I ain't durn your imperence? Now, then, what d'ye want wi' me?"
