I wouldn't think of that," declared Hester stoutly, but even as she spoke, she tucked her own feet farther under her chair. "We gave them the farm, and they understood they was to take care of us, of course." "Hm-m, yes, I know, I know. I'll ask him," murmured Jeremiah but he did not ask him until the ominously thin place in the sole had become a hole, large, round, and unmistakable.
But it'll be done, and I tremble for the consequences." "Hm-m!" Mr. Smith's eyes had lost their twinkle now. To himself he muttered: "I wonder if maybe I hadn't better take a hand in this thing myself." "You said I didn't understand what you said," murmured Miss Maggie doubtfully. "Nothing nothing, Miss Maggie," replied the man. Then, with business- like alertness, he lifted his chin.
"Fifty cents? Hm-m!" The old lady fingered the bow, hesitated, then laid it down with a sigh. "Hm, yes; well, it's very pretty, I'm sure, my dear," she said, as she passed on. Immediately behind her came two bright-faced girls who, with much giggling and bantering, picked out a jeweled creation of scarlet velvet, and a fairy-like structure of tulle and pink buds.
When he could remember his "book-learnin'" and give a high-sounding name to his complaint, his gratification was enhanced. "Hm-m; mebbe 't is, Jason," retorted his wife; "but I'm a-thinkin' that when a man of your heft and years goes kitin' 'round a ten-acre lot at the tail of a fly-away colt, he'll have all that kind of heart disease he wants, an' still live ter die of somethin' else!"
"I t'ink, me, dat hanny w'ite man is a gen'leman; but I don't care if a man are good like a h-angel, if 'e har not pu'e w'ite 'ow can 'e be a gen'leman?" Raoul's words were addressed to a man who, as he rose up and handed Frowenfeld a note, ratified the Creole's sentiment by a spurt of tobacco juice and an affirmative "Hm-m." The note was a lead-pencil scrawl, without date.
I think I know where to locate von Herzmann's Circus." "What are you driving at, Lieutenant?" "Major, if I told you half of what I think I know, you'd call me crazy." "Hm-m! Well, I can't give you permission to go but I will not be looking for you before noon." His sly wink told Red all that he wanted to know. "Yes, sir. Good night, Major. Good night, Rodd.
"Well, 't ain't six of 'em; is it?" There was mingled hope and fear in Jason's voice. If it were six he could see Hitty's face! "Any physicians in your family?" asked the doctor, ignoring Jason's question. Jason shook his head. "Hm-m," commented the doctor. "Ever been any?" "Why, not as I know of, sir," murmured Jason wonderingly. "No? Where did you get them, then, those medical books?"
"Now don't you wish you'd stayed at home?" O'Reilly smiled at her. "Good heavens, no! I'm having the time of my life. I nearly died of curiosity at first until I found Major Ramos's tongue." "Hm-m! You found it, all right. He appears to be completely conquered." "I-I'm afraid so," the girl acknowledged, with a little grimace. "You'd think he'd never seen a woman before. He's very intense. Very!"
"You see it's only gray." "I don't see," said Eliza, still flushing furiously. "You would if I continued to let it grow." "Hm-m! I think, myself, it's a sort of bluish gray," said Dan.

Come with me, Squire, I saw the pair goin' into the barn a little spell ago, an' I hain't seen 'em come out. Katy, she don't know you an' so ain't afraid of ye. She ain't afraid of anything I've seen yet; but Monty Hm-m. I can leave Monty to you to deal with. My suz! If this ain't been the greatest day that ever I saw!"
