Barbara sat opposite Jeff-Jack. What of that? Johanna, standing behind mom-a's chair, should not have smiled and clapped her hands to her mouth. Barbara ignored her.
"Well, seh" the Captain became blithe "Jeff-Jack sent faw him you remembeh that night, President Gamble this was the second bill ayfteh the first hed been vetoed an' said, s'e, 'Leggett, if I give you my own word that you'll get yo' fifteen hund'ed a year as soon as this new bill passes, will you vote faw it? 'Yass, seh, says Leggett an' he did!"
"Well," drawled Ravenel, pleasantly, when they rose, "if that's what you prefer " "No, I don't prefer it, Jeff-Jack; but if you were me could you help it?" "I shouldn't try," said Ravenel. By the afternoon train on this last day of the year there had come into Suez a missionary returning from China on leave of absence, ill from scant fare and overwork.
Then Ravenel, as trustee for the three counties Uncle Jimmie Rankin was the other, but shrewdly let Jeff-Jack speak and act for him privately combined with the Construction Company, which, Proudfit pathetically reminded John, was a loser by the Land Company in the discounts at which it had sold that Company's second-mortgage bonds.
The Major's laugh grew rustic as he glanced from Jeff-Jack, red with resentment, to Judge March, lifted half out of his seat with emotion, and thence to the child, still gazing on the young hero of many battles and one ballad. "Well, that's all over; we can only hurry along home now, and " "Ah! President Garnet, is it all over, seh? Is it, Mr. Jones?"
"That's it; why, my sakes! Hold on, Jeff-Jack, I'll be with you in just a minute. Why, I know it as why, it rhymes with 'cohorts enraptured! I why, of course! Ah! Jeff-Jack it was hard on you that the despatches got your name so twisted. It's a plumb shame, as they say."
Only tell me what I can do for you." She explained that she would have to go back into the sick-room and return again, as the physician was in there, and Jeff-Jack was unaware, and ought probably to be kept unaware, of any other visitor's presence. John said he would wait and hear the doctor's pronouncements and her commands. When she came the second time this person appeared with her.
I don't blame Jeff-Jack for leaving Fan as he did " "'As he did'! By George! General Halliday, that's all I do blame him for!" "Why, do you mean But never mind; that's probably none of my business; I don't see how you could ever think it was any of yours. Oh, now, please keep your seat!
I'm in your power." John laughed. "I wish you'd tell the dictator what to do." "Too late, my son, you've taken the counsel of your country's enemies." She rose to leave the room. The son slapped his thigh. "'Pon my soul, mother, you must excuse me. Here's a letter. "Has Jeff-Jack accepted another poem?" he asked, as she read. "I wish he'd pay for it."
But it's a pity when you know so much about these things, you don't know more." "I do, John. I know that when Jeff-Jack left here he left his proxy at your solicitation with John Wesley Garnet!" "Which, he gave me to understand, was just what he intended to do, anyhow." "O, gave you to understand, of course! But it wasn't, John.
