"Well, we oughter be thankful we've got the things to give, and we'll find some sort of way to slip up on the blind side of them about the taking of them. The Deacon's britches is one pressing thing. Can't we take some of the church carpet money and get Mr. Hoover to buy him a pair when he hauls corn to town Monday?"
"You're too good, Bessie. You never get angry at all. You act as if you ought to be grateful to Maw Hoover for looking after you. Don't she make you work like a hired girl, and pay you nothin' for it? You work all the time she'd have to pay a hired girl good wages for what you do, and treat her decently, beside.
It made us very late getting here, of course, and we missed the train we were to take to Green Cove. But I think we would have waited here, anyhow, until you came. I was very anxious about you, Bessie. What a clever trick that was! If it hadn't been for you, we would have been caught without a chance to do anything at all." "Bessie's made friends with Jake Hoover, too," said Dolly, disgustedly.
Hoover; "and we kinder thought ez you know Spanish you might be able to get rid o' them in exchange for 'conviction o' sins' and 'justification by faith, ye know." "I'm afraid," said Mr.
And I want Lady-bread-and-butter, and oh, Ellen, will you have time for little pound cakes?" She knew of course that pound cakes were verboten. She felt, however, that even Mr. Hoover might sanction a fatted calf in the face of this supreme event. She planned that she would receive Derry in the small drawing room. It was an informal room which had been kept by her mother for intimate friends.
And then he would talk to us as a brother in the fraternity and exhort us to forget our difficulties and our irritations and play the game well and honestly for the sake of humanity and the honor of America. After the group talks he would listen to the personal troubles, and advise and help each man in his turn. People sometimes ask me why Hoover has such a strong personal hold on all his helpers.
"I suppose it is," said Bessie, doubtfully. "Only it doesn't seem very probable. Maw Hoover was pretty mean to me, but I don't think she'd ever have done anything like that." "Well, I wouldn't put it above her! She treated you badly enough about other things, heaven knows!" "I'd hate to think she had done anything quite as mean as that, though, Dolly.
"'Every cent lost! he says, the tears runnin' down those yellow, sunk cheeks of his. But Bernal seems to git chipper again when he sees how Mr. Hoover is takin' it, so he says, 'Haven't you got a cent left, Hoover? Haven't you got anythin' at all left?
I am sure that these studies, made under the chairmanship of former President Herbert Hoover with the assistance of more than two hundred distinguished citizens, will be of great value in paving the way toward more efficiency and economy in the government. And now, I return to the point at which I began the faith of our people.
It was the first time that he and Hoover had seen each other since their encounter in China. They now worked shoulder to shoulder in the monster mercy of all history. Francqui is blunt, silent, aggressive. When Belgium wants something done she instinctively turns to him.
