Barney seemed to have lost control of his rigid limbs, and he was half-dragged, half-lifted into the wagon by the two officers. The crowd began to fall back and disperse, and he could see the group of "home-folks" at the door. But he gave only one glance at the little log cabin, and then turned his head away.
"Oh, of course I don't mean I'm actually skinny " He felt he had been blunt, after all. "Not to say skinny." she went on, "but well, you know more like home-folks, I guess. Anyway, I got no future as a bathing beauty none whatever. And this walkin' around to the different lots ain't helpin' me any, either. Of course it ain't as if I couldn't go back to the insurance office. Mr.
They feel they are doing something worth while. They learn readily and eagerly because they are learning the things which every active boy wants to learn and about which he is constantly asking questions that none of his home-folks can answer. Beginning with six boys the school now has two hundred and is possessed of so practical a system that it may expand to seven hundred.
Can't you pick out something a little more like home-folks to be interested in? Remember the fellow who tried to bring up the tiger cub?" "What happened to him?" Polly smiled up into Scott's face. There was something about Scotty that appealed to you even when you were actively engaged in disliking him. "It grew up and bit him." "Oh, and Juan Pachuca seemed so nice and friendly.
All night we are occupied according to our individual temperaments. Some are able to sleep even in such a racket. The great majority of us are writing letters. There are always a few last things to be said to the home-folks, a few small possessions we want to will in special ways. We hand our letters to an officer or to some special chum.
"You're lucky to have home-folks even in Ohio," I remarked enviously. "Well, there's always your distant auntie, cruising the seven seas in pursuit of husbands. Nobody with an aunt to his credit can pretend to be alone in the world. There is something about an aunt, Singleton! Aunts must rank just a little below mothers in the heavenly kingdom.
Next in the family came the nominal head of it, "Old Tom" Hamon, to distinguish him from young Tom, his son; a rough, not ill-natured man, until the money-getting fever seized him, since which time his home-folks had found in him changes that did not make for their comfort.
Nat found just the spot for the tent, Roger and Joe were racing about like little human greyhounds, intent upon the scent of fun, and Dorothy took time to decide that perhaps this camp would prove as delightful as she expected that one to be, whither, in a few days, she must journey, and leave the dear home-folks, reluctantly, indeed.
Earlier in the day Barton had assured me that he would not fail to go and see my mother and sister when he returned to Glendale. I could scarcely urge him not to do so, though I knew very well that he would not stop with telling the home-folks; that he would doubtless tell every Tom, Dick and Harry in town how he had met me, and where.
This answer was given with a jolly laugh as the old man leaned on his pick and looked at me. "You looked so much like home-folks that I felt like speaking to you. Where are you from?" "From Virginny, sah!" "Where's you from, Massa?" "I was brought up partly in Virginia too?" "Wbar'bouts, in Virginny?" "Mostly in Lynchburg." "Lynchburg! dat's whar I was fotched up.
