"Yes, we've come in the big car, K. K.," Hugh assured him. "And we'll fetch you home right away. You ought to be looked after by Doctor Wambold; broken bones are not things to be trifled with, and while this party seems to have done the best he could it can only be a makeshift." "Don't you believe it, Hugh," said the injured boy warmly; "why, he's a regular jim-dandy about such jobs.
"I sho' will," screamed the gratified Billy, "if Aunt Minerva'll lemme. What make you talk so much like Jimmy?" "Who? that little old Jimmy Garner? I hope I don't talk like that chicken, he's 'bout the measliest boy they is and I like you 'nother sight better 'n him; you're a plumb jim-dandy, Billy," came from the doorway. "So's you," howled back the delighted and flattered Billy.
If any of you fellows want to kick at what I have done, you can just take it out in kickin' yourselves. Our new ledge is a jim-dandy; and seem' as I cheated the woman out of her cassiterite, I'm bound to make it good in yellow gold. "But I'm goin' to turn in now, boys, and I'll listen to you to-morrow. Good night."
"Shut your eyes, and count five," laughed Max; "now look, and see what I found." "My goodness gracious; why, it's half again as big as my find; a regular jim-dandy pearl, Max," cried Steve, trembling all over with, eager delight, as his enraptured eyes fell upon the object Max exposed. "Yes, much larger, I admit," the other went on to say with due deliberation; "but not quite so perfect in form.
If it hadn't been for her, my boy, I doubt that you would be here!" "She sure is one jim-dandy nurse." "She is more than that, young man." Andover cleared his throat. "There's one little matter that I thought best not to mention until you were pretty well out of the woods.
"Depend on me to do the right thing by Nick and Leon," Hugh assured him. "When I have visitors drop in on me in this off-hand way, I always want to be ready to treat them well. But I'm afraid they'll think our reception committee rather frigid, eh, Thad?" He soon came back bearing a massive tub that aroused the admiration of Thad. "That certainly is a jim-dandy wash-tub!" he declared.
"By George!" he exclaimed abruptly, and after a minute or two: "Do you know, I can remember the first time I ever saw a flower or the first time I took notice of one, anyway. It was red a red geranium. There was a whole cart of 'em, and that's why I noticed 'em, I expect. But a red geranium is a Jim-dandy flower, ain't it?" To this outburst Gabriella made no reply.
"Well, he was a jim-dandy, wa'n't 'e?" said the tattered man as if in response. They turned their backs upon it and started away. For a time they stole softly, treading with their toes. It remained laughing there in the grass. "I'm commencin' t' feel pretty bad," said the tattered man, suddenly breaking one of his little silences. "I'm commencin' t' feel pretty damn' bad." The youth groaned.
"A man don't want to show up plumb broke like that younger son did after eatin' with the hogs the bishop told about. His father was a Jim-dandy, that hog chap's. Hustled around and set 'em up when he come back home. Frank, he'd say to me 'How do you do, brother? and he'd be wearin' a good suit o' clothes and no, sir, you bet!"
Dunston Porter was to accompany the young folk as far west as Helena, near which the Endicotts were to meet the travelers, and then Dave's uncle was to go on to Spokane on business, coming back to take the young folks home about six weeks later. The thoughts of spending their vacation on a real ranch filled the young folk with delight. All anticipated a "Jim-dandy" time, as Phil expressed it.
