"Howdye!" said Chad, shaking the proffered hand. "I didn't know you you've grown so tall. Didn't you know me?" "Yes." "Then why didn't you speak to me?" "'Cause you didn't know ME." Harry laughed. "Well, that isn't fair. See you again." "All right," said Chad.
"Well, I git down here," said the girl, and before his mule stopped she slid from behind him and made for the gate without a word of thanks or good-by. "Howdye!" said Hale, taking in the group with his glance, but leaving his eyes on young Dave.
Distinctly that road was no path for a lady to tread, but Dixie was to know it better in the coming war. Within ten miles of the Turners', Chad met the first man that he knew Hence Sturgill from Kingdom Come. He was driving a wagon. "Howdye, Hence!" said Chad, reining in. "Whoa!" said Hence, pulling in and staring at Chad's horse and at Chad from hat to spur. "Don't you know me, Hence?"
Then he looked up and smiled and she had seen no smile like that before. "Howdye, Little Girl?" One bare toe went burrowing suddenly into the sand, one finger went to her red mouth and that was all. She merely stared him straight in the eye and he smiled again. "Cat got your tongue?" Her eyes fell at the ancient banter, but she lifted them straightway and stared again. "You live around here?"
Outside the door, June looked up into the beaming goggles of the Hon. Samuel Budd. "Is THIS the little girl? Howdye, June," he said, and June put her hand in the Hon. Sam's with a sudden trust in his voice. "I'm going to help take care of you, too," said Mr. Budd, and June smiled at him with shy gratitude. How kind everybody was! "I'm much obleeged," she said, and she and Mrs.
Loretta lingered a moment and when June closed the piano and the two girls went into the main room, a tall figure, entering, stopped in the door and stared at June without speaking: "Why, howdye, Uncle Rufe," said Loretta. "This is June. You didn't know her, did ye?" The man laughed.
"Howdye, June!" said Hale, who was no less puzzled and still she gave no sign that she had ever seen him before except reluctantly to give him her hand. Then she turned sullenly away and sat down in the door of the mill with her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands. Dumfounded, the old miller pulled the sack of corn from the horse and leaned it against the mill.
"Hello, fellows! Howdye? And who under the sun is the new manager you've got to run the camp?" he asked, pushing out to greet them each in turn, and eyeing Mr. Smithson in some curiosity. "How are you, Jerry? Guess you know me all right, eh? Why, I'm up here looking for an escaped lunatic, you see," said that worthy, without rising.
The carriage moved out of the stream and the old driver got down to hook the check-reins over the shining bit of metal that curved back over the little saddles to which the boy's eyes had swiftly strayed. Then they came back to the Major. "Howdye!" said Chad. "Good-mornin', little man," said the Major pleasantly, and Chad knew straightway that he had found a friend. But there was silence.
She smiled inwardly when she saw the same old wave of disappointment sweep across the faces of them all. It was not necessary to shake hands, but unthinkingly she did, and the women sat in their chairs as she went from one to the other and each gave her a limp hand and a grave "howdye," though each paid an unconscious tribute to a vague something about her, by wiping that hand on an apron first.
