"Now look a' here, Lizzie, I ain't got no other girl, an' it's a pretty how-de-do if I can't have my only daughter married from my own house." Elizabeth fidgeted about, laying her hammer down and picking up a straw that had pushed its way through the loose rags of the carpet on which she sat. After a time she turned her eyes to Aunt Susan with a mute call for help.
And there, after resting a while, it was pumped up by the sun and made into a cloud, and the wind blew it back over the land and to their field again, where it fell into the brook and said, "Why, how-de-do, Sylvia you still here?" Father had written the story, and Mother had copied it out on the typewriter so it would be easy for Sylvia to read.
He followed his host into the house and faced, with very fair composure, two girls who smiled broadly as they shook hands with him. Mrs. Kennedy gave him a lax hand and a curt how-de-do, and Lucindy fairly scowled in answer to his radiant smile. She was much changed, he could see. She wore a dress with puffed sleeves, and her hair was dressed differently.
She craved, without being wholly aware of it, or altogether admitting it to herself, some human distraction in all that majestic solitude. It was forthcoming. When she returned to camp at two o'clock, driven in by hunger, Jack Fyfe sat on the doorstep. "How-de-do. I've come to bring you over to my place," he announced quite casually. "Thanks.
Hooker received this announcement with a polite interest but no astonishment. "That's a how-de-do!" he remarked. "What's done it?" "That's what I want you to tell me," said Thornton sternly. "What could do it?" Hooker unlaced his legs and strolled over to the mantel. "Have a cracker?" he asked, helping himself. Then he picked up a piece of wood and began whittling.
In the first were the four Miamis, and in the second Oonomoo and Heigon, the latter using the paddle. They touched a point on the shore about a hundred yards down-stream, almost at the same moment that it was reached by the Lieutenant. "How-de-do, brudder?" asked the foremost, extending his hand.
