"It's no' Mister MacMuller?" asked Tam eagerly. "Oh you've heard of Captain Müller?" asked the prisoner interestedly. "Haird? good Lord, mon sir-r, A' mean look here!" He put his hand in his pocket and produced a worn leather case. From this he extracted two or three newspaper cuttings and selected one, headed "German Official."
Leaning against a tree, and staring interestedly into the billiard room, was Johnson. That was Saturday night, two weeks after the wreck. The previous five days had been full of swift-following events the woman in the house next door, the picture in the theater of a man about to leap from the doomed train, the dinner at the Dallases', and Richey's discovery that Alison was the girl in the case.
"Maybe I ain't jest bright enuff to foller " "You ain't," agreed Bill shortly. He winked at Minky, who was listening interestedly. Then he turned abruptly and pointed at the array of patent medicines adorning one of the shelves. "Say," he cried, "'bout them physics." Minky turned and gazed affectionately at the shelf. It was the pride of his store. He always kept it well dusted and dressed.
The children had been playing forfeits, and in Gilead you played games at parties until you were at least twenty. Piney Haddock was giving out the forfeits, sitting blindfolded on a chair, while Jean held them over her head, calling out with each one: "Heavy, heavy hangs over your head, What shall the owner do to redeem it?" Whereupon Piney would have to respond interestedly, "Fine or superfine?"
"I haven't had any luncheon," he said. Mary Alice's heart was touched; she forgot that the man was strange, and remembered only that he was tired and hungry. The little maid brought thin slices of bread and butter with the tea. Mary Alice felt they must seem absurd to a hungry man. "I know what's lots nicer with tea," she said. "What?" he asked, interestedly. "Toast and marmalade," she answered.
One day he watched interestedly while one of the ripened buds, a fully-developed individual but only about ten inches high, detached itself from its parent and dropped to the ground. It lay there for some minutes while the "mother" watched it carefully. Then it rose by itself and trotted away with her as she resumed her work a miniature but fully alive native "child."
Cutty and the nurse watched him interestedly for a few minutes; but as he did not stir again the nurse took up her temperature sheet and Cutty returned to his eggs. Was there a girl? No question about the emeralds, no interest in the day and the hour. Was there a girl? The last person he had seen, Kitty; the first question, after coming into the light: Had he seen her?
He drew his pipe from some pocket and filled it from a worn tobacco pouch. Drusilla watched him interestedly. "Now I know what this room needed. It needs tobacco. It'll make the curtains smell as if people lived here. You know the greatest trouble I find with this place, John, is to have it feel human.
He was used to seeing the khaki-clad figures come off the train, some met by a tumultuous crowd, others, who had sent no word of their coming, stepping off quietly like this one. But there was a certain distinction of bearing and features in this soldier that caught his attention and made him wonder a little more interestedly who he was. A black-and-yellow streak shot past the station agent.
So Azalea came, laughingly, and the two walked grandiloquently into the focus of the camera. "And there is a man making phonograph records," young Gale went on. "Come over there, Zaly, and we'll have a joust of words, and record it on the sands of time!" "What do you mean?" asked Azalea, interestedly, for she had no knowledge of some of the performances going on.
