"And there's one thing he didn't try to warn them that you knew about what they meant to do at Canton, Bessie." "No, he didn't. And he could have done it very easily, too. Oh, I think we can count on Jake now, all right. He's pretty badly frightened, and he's worried about himself. He'll stick to the side that seems the most likely to help him. All I hope is that he will go to see Mr. Jamieson."
As soon as Jake was sufficiently recovered from the beating administered by the Deacon, he, in company with Nolan Gray and several others who were either friends or embracers of the doctrine of full salvation, went to this spot and worked for a number of days building a brush arbor, which was to serve the purpose of a meeting-house. Long poles were tied from tree to tree to make a framework.
My wife au contraire is quite unhampered by a husband's devotion. I have never made love to her yet. I have only protected her." He paused, and suddenly the old monkey-like look of mischief flashed back into his face. "I lay claim to the higher virtue, Jake," he said. "Heaven alone knows how long it will last.
Kenwardine pushed a box of cigarettes across. "I congratulate you on your way of making things clear, and now we understand each other you can come when you like. Have a smoke." Jake took a cigarette, but left soon afterwards to do an errand of Bethune's that had given him an excuse for visiting the town.
"Tell me the rest of it, John." Mackenzie went on with the ancient pastoral tale of love. Joan was indignant when she heard how Laban gave Jacob the weak-eyed girl for a wife in place of his beloved Rachel, for whom he had worked the seven years. "Jake must have been a bright one!" said she. "How could the old man put one over on him like that?" "You'll have to read the story," said Mackenzie.
Jake knew, down in his heart, that Robert had done the manly and Christian thing, and when he saw that his father did not appreciate what Robert had done, it made him feel that his father was not much of a Christian either. Jake lost confidence in his father right there. Peter Newby sensed this change of attitude on Jake's part, and it filled him with anger. Yet he knew that he dare not show it.
I I don't account for it. I only warn you not to take your story to Jake." Tresler drew a step nearer, and stood so close to her that her dungaree skirt was almost touching him. He looked up in a manner that compelled her gaze. "You do account for it, Miss Marbolt," he said emphatically. Nor did the girl attempt denial. Just for a moment there was a breathless silence.
"But you can't. You had yore chance, an' you couldn't. What you need is a master, some one you'll have to honor an' obey, some one who'll look after you an' take the devil outa you. Meanin' me Jake Houck. Understand?" "I won't! I won't!" she cried. "You come here an' bully me because because of what you know about Father.
"Well, I've quit kickin' till we're out of the woods. I'm an American, Abe, and the American flag is flying in France. If our boys can't hold it in the face of the enemy, Jake Kasker will go do it himself!" Kauffman stood up, casting a glance of scorn on his customer. "You talk like a fool, Jake; you talk like you was talking for the papers not honest, but as if someone had scared you."
Ántonia often quoted his opinions to me, and she let me see that she admired him, while she thought of me only as a little boy. Before the spring was over, there was a distinct coldness between us and the Shimerdas. It came about in this way. One Sunday I rode over there with Jake to get a horse-collar which Ambrosch had borrowed from him and had not returned. It was a beautiful blue morning.
