And as the terrified man shrunk back, he followed, until his victim was flat against a wall, the weapon swinging to and fro under his nose after the fashion of "The Pit and the Pendulum." "Carve you into pieces, Hunkie! Carve you into stew-meat!" When at last the boss stepped back, the little Bohemian leaped to load the timbers.
"Well, I guess!" said the boy. "Can he walk?" more gently still. "Yep, o' course I mean when his legs gets stronger he'll walk, won't youse, Hunkie? De doctor-woman says as wot he needs is plenty o' milk. Wid its coat on Hunkie ain't never had none wid its coat on till de doctor-woman come." "Its coat on?" murmured Gloria.
She ain't no doctor-woman." This from Dinney, who had the advantage of early acquaintance. "She's on'y a cuttin' roun' de street. Youse better not be smudgin' up her dress, Carrots gwan off, now! All o' youse gwan an' let de lady 'lone. Me 'n' Hunkie's de on'y ones as she wants roun'." Dinney and Hunkie escorted Gloria to the end of the street and back.
Then he took Hunkie into his arms and turned away with him as the door opened and a young girl entered. It was Rose. It seemed somehow to Dinney as though a sweet peace filled the room now that his mother's hard-drawn breath was no longer there. He looked through the window and hugged Hunkie close. He was his baby sure, now.
I can see Rose and Hunkie at one of the windows and Sal coming down the stairs. 'Miss Districk, you're there, too. And Dinney, don't you see, is playing on the grass!" Mary Winship laughed a sweet, indulgent laugh. "Yes, I see all of it, Gloria, just as you do." She was gazing with the eyes of faith at the small beginning of Gloria's model tenement house.
But if not heads, I suppose they might have hearts, and the hearts might ache, the way mine does every time I think of those houses and Straps and Dinney and Hunkie and the girl with eyes like mine. Yes, I'll tell you. I mean to tear down some of those houses Dinney's, at any rate. Now, go outdoors and laugh!
New windows, new steps, new everything!" She was helped gently down, and Rose was there to greet her. How happy Rose looked! And there was Sal's mother in the background, and then came Dinney and Hunkie. "Ain't it fine!" cried Dinney. Gloria looked at the boy and laughed. "Look at the new stairs!" They took her here and there, then made her rest a moment in Rose's room.
Art Kuzak, one-time hunkie football player, was a power among the asteroids. His brother, Joe, had scarcely changed, personally. About himself, Nelsen got the most lost. What had he become, after his wrong guesses and his great luck, and the fact that he had managed to see more than most?
"It's a trait of our people, like well, like their distrust of authority and their fear of law. You see, persecution made them cunning, but underneath they are fierce and revengeful and lawless. I inherited all these traits but that has nothing to do with the story. Father worked in the Bessemer plant, like any hunkie, and the women used to bring the men's lunches to them.
The tidiness and cleanliness of it, however, bore witness to her recent occupancy. On the neat bed lay a baby asleep. "Hunkie!" Gloria said softly, as she tiptoed across the room and looked down at the thin little face. "It seems a tiny morsel of humanity to get hold of life, doesn't it?" said the nurse.
