Tell 'em to send a regiment after those mules. Jeffy D. can have the generals." A slender little dark-haired girl about fifteen years old, with big wistful blue eyes, had taken advantage of the pause to slip close. When the President lifted his head she caught his eyes. He rose immediately and drew her to his side. "You're all alone, little girl?" "Yes, sir," she faltered.
Naw, suh, that Jeffy, he'd be most highly overjoyed to haul off an' lend a helpin' hand, ef by so doin' he mout put you onder a favor to him." Cephus sniffed, half disarmed but wavering. "Wharin' could he he'p out? He ain't ownin' no private string of ridin'-hosses so fur ez I've took note of."
In his sleep, Russy felt them, but he thought it was Jeffy's mother kissing Jeffy. "It feels good, doesn't it?" he murmured. "I don't wonder Jeffy likes it! If my mother kissed me I told Jeffy she did! It was a Lie, but I had to. You have to, when they say things like that about your mother. You have to say she kisses you oh, always! She comes 'way up-stairs every night a-purpose to.
We all looked, one at another, in that dim astonishment which is never expressed in words. Papa broke the spell by putting on fresh coals. Miss Lettie said, "Poor Abraham!" and yet she looked so happy, so as I had never seen her yet! A few moments later Jeffy came rushing in, his eyes dilate with amazement. "The gentleman is gone," he said, "gone entirely." It was even so. Mr.
I think a half-hour must have fled in silence, when Jeffy stole in, his eyes opening as Chloe's had done not many days agone, when the vision of myself was painted thereon.
I'll go and tell that you're here;" and Jeffy took himself off, eager for action. He was not long gone. "It's all ready, waiting a bit for master. He can't come down just this minute," said Jeffy. "Look a here, Miss Anna, isn't it vastly funny master's bringing a crazy man here? They say down in the kitchen, that as how it wouldn't 'a' been, if you'd been home. It's real good, though.
Beside these, lying on the rug beside him, his head cocked to one side, his eyes fixed intently upon Tom's face, and his tail wagging furiously, was Jeffy, not a St Bernard, but a shaggy little Scotch terrier. "Hello, Jeffy!" said Tom, as he rubbed his eyes a second time. "Where have you been all this time?" "Woof!" barked Jeff, and cocking his eye knowingly.
"And was it you who rescued me from the avalanche?" Tom asked. "Woof!" replied Jeff, as much as to say he wouldn't tell. "Well, it was mighty good of you, if you did, Jeffy," Tom said, gratefully. "Only I wish you could have taken me to the Candydike or the Lobster shop instead of straight home because I'm not only hungry Jeffy, but I should very much have liked to visit those wonderful places."
Jeffy D.'s the man to be discouraged to-day. This will be a dearly bought victory. Mark my word. For the South it's the glorious end of the war. While they shout, I'll be sawing wood. It needed just this shock and humiliation to bring the North to their senses. Watch them buckle on their armor now in deadly earnest. The demagogues howled for a battle. They pushed us in and they got it.
"It teks a musician to think of things w'ich an ordinary pusson wouldn't never dream of. So, fur the las' hour or so I been castin' about in my mind an' jes' a minute ago the idee come to me. I feels shore I kin arrange wid a frien' of mine to he'p us out. I s'pose you is acquainted with this yere Jeffy Poindexter?" "I has met him," said Cephus with chill creeping into his tones.
