"Don't try. Go back to the other room, please, Jimps. You can be of real use there." "Well, I like that!" As he wiped away assiduously, Stuart surveyed his companion's face in profile. It belied the dictatorial words, for Georgiana was smiling.
When he came to her he looked very nearly straight into her eyes not quite it might have been her lower eyelashes upon which he brought his glance to bear. "Great luck, Georgiana," he said distinctly, "and all kinds of a good time." "Good-bye, Jimps, and thank you very, very much for coming," she responded.
There was a touch of appeal in the lightly spoken question. "Not to-night, Jimps; I'm sorry. Father Davy overdid to-day, in spite of all my efforts, and I must see him to bed early and read him to sleep." "After he's gone the literary light won't come down and smoke his spices-of-Araby mixture by your fire, instead of his own, while you entertain him, will he?" Her low laugh rang out.
Of course, you must go, Jimps! When will you start?" "Do you honestly want me to go, George?" He seemed to be scanning her face through the dimness. "I should be a selfish thing enough if I didn't," she protested. He was silent for a minute; then he said: "To be frank, I wrote last night for a berth on a ship that sails in two weeks.
"All done, thank you except would you just arrange that boxful of scarlet geraniums Jimps brought over, for the table? That would help very much. Take any bowl or glass from the dining-room cupboard that looks appropriate to you." "I'd love to." And Jeannette fell to work if it could be called work.
Please tell me how they laughed differently from other men. To be sure, Jimps just lets go when he's amused and raises the rafters with his howls of glee; but so do other young men of his age. And certainly Mr. Jefferson laughed decorously enough."
College graduates, like Jimps, and men who have taken agricultural courses and are putting their brains into their work. Why isn't there a new word?" "The old word must be made to acquire a new dignity," Georgiana suggested. "Never mind the word; you're glad you married your farmer?" "Glad!
Do you think I don't know the doubt in all your minds? yes, even yours, for you've become another person since you married Craig." "Oh, no!" "Oh, yes! You've been thinking ever since you came that you're dead thankful you don't have to come back to it now, haven't you?" "Jimps, dear, I lived all my life in the hardest, narrowest economy. If I had had all this beautiful experience Jean is having "
"George, my evening togs they've been put away for the four years since I left college. They must be about the most hopelessly ancient cut conceivable to eyes like hers. Shall I risk looking like a rustic in such a house as that?" But Stuart's eyes were eager as a boy's. "I'll not go if you won't, Jimps. As for rusticity, I can keep you company. Can you bear to lose such a frolic? I can't."
Do you mean to say that literary light allows you to tote wood for him?" They were walking on rapidly now. "I'll be over in the morning and take up a pile that'll leave no room for him to put his feet. What's he thinking of?" "Jimps, boy, how absurd you are! How should he know who puts the wood in his room? I don't go up with armfuls of it when he's there."
