The home folks had never before considered these rather harum-scarum boys of so much importance as now that they were in the Navy and becoming real "Old Salts." From Doctor Morgan down to Ikey's youngest brother the relatives and friends of the quartette treated them with much consideration.
The hat may really have altered his fortunes, as the Insect shortly met Ikey Swanson, who gave him a ticket to Mickey Schwartz's ball; for Ikey's clean dickey had not come home from the laundry, and so he could not go himself.
You can't mean that he had anything to do with your appearance here?" "You bet he did have something to do with my being here!" Thede insisted. "You see, it's just this way: Old Finklebaum says to me one day, 'I'll take the hair off Ikey's head for selling that Little Brass God!"
When the audience see the trombone snatched bald-headed, and him trying to get back his wig, and Ikey chewing it, they went crazy. You can't learn a bear tricks like that. It's just genius. Some folks think I taught him to act like he was intoxicated, but he picked that up, too, all by himself, through watching my husband. And Ikey's very fond of beer on his own account.
But you're white, all right." The drummer suddenly returned to the Virginian with this high compliment. The cow-puncher had taken out a pipe, and was slowly rubbing it. The compliment seemed to escape his attention, and the drummer went on. "I can tell a man when he's white, put him at Ikey's or out loose here in the sage-brush." And he rolled a cigar across to the Virginian's plate.
But I've big doubts about three new boats all at one bite. One they might manage on a mortgage. But three? I don't think it. Old Ikey's too cautious." "Messrs. Bird are your owners and mine," said Kettle significantly. "Oh!" said the newly-made captain, "I'm not one of your old-fashioned sort that thinks an owner a little tin god."
"But you might take Monkey Brand along if he'll go." But the little jockey, when approached, refused. "Why not?" asked Silver, determined to save the little man's soul if it was to be saved. "I'm too fond o' Monkey, sir," the other answered, his face inscrutable. "What d'you mean?" "Why, sir, if they was to catch Monkey in Chukkers's country they'd flay him." "Who would?" "The Ikey's Own."
Caught on to the fire-escape you bet." "No, he's goin' to learn that rasslin' trick." "Ikey's showin' the stranger the town. He's on for a bust, you bet." "Blank lot of jay birds," said Ike grimly, in a low tone. "I'll see'em later. You'd think they'd never seen a stranger before." "That is all for me, I suppose, Ike," said Shock apologetically. "Don't you worry. It won't give me any grey hair."
Ikey Rosy and me are goin' to run away and get married to-night." Ikey's left forefinger was doubled over the edge of the mortar, holding it steady. He gave it a wild rap with the pestle, but felt it not. Meanwhile Mr. McGowan's smile faded to a look of perplexed gloom. "That is," he continued, "if she keeps in the notion until the time comes. We've been layin' pipes for the getaway for two weeks.
Ikey's Own Maudie was not the only one who had cause to complain that life at Putnam's was changed now greatly for the worse. It all centred round that great, calm, munching creature in the loose-box, with the big blue dog curled underneath the manger. Monkey Brand was moody; Old Mat irritable; his daughter curt; Silver puzzled, and Mrs. Woodburn perturbed.
