Jimson had been excessively courteous to Colin throughout the trip, and his fellow-feeling was greatly increased when he learned that the boy also was a holder of the blue tuna button, for he himself was an enthusiastic angler. "I'm a trout-fisher by preference," said Dr.
In fact, whatever other men did this little man was anxious to do also, and so it happened that when the hunting season came around, and all the men began to get their guns ready to hunt for snipe and duck, Mr. Jimson also had a little gun made, and determined to use it as well as any of them. When he brought it home and showed it to his wife, who was a very big woman, she said,
'I think Gideon had better leave this dreadful houseboat, and wait among the willows over there. If the piano comes, then he could step out and take it in; and if the police come, he could slip into our houseboat, and there needn't be any more Jimson at all.
"You better not!" said the Girl. "There must be a mistake about you knowing my uncle. Tell me more of the flowers." The Harvester drew a deep breath and continued: "These I just have named I take at bloom time; next month come purple thorn apple, jimson weed, and hemlock." "Isn't that poison?" "Half the stuff I handle is." "Aren't you afraid?" "Terribly," said the Harvester in laughing voice.
"That's the thing!" cried Gideon; "and to-morrow there will be no houseboat, and no Jimson, and no carrier's cart, and no piano; and when Harker awakes on the ditch-side, he may tell himself the whole affair has been a dream." "Aha!" said Uncle Ned, "but there's another man who will have a different awakening. That fellow in the cart will find he has been too clever by half."
"There's the Land of Cherry Isle!" he sang, courting her with his eyes. "It's like an opera," said Julia, rather faintly. "What should it be?" said Gideon. "Am I not Jimson? It would be strange if I did not serenade my love. O yes, I mean the word, my Julia; and I mean to win you.
He might very well be pressed for time to finish an opera say the comic opera Orange Pekoe Orange Pekoe, music by Jimson "this young maëstro, one of the most promising of our recent English school" vigorous entrance of the drums, etc. the whole character of Jimson and his music arose in bulk before the mind of Gideon.
As the fall rodeo swept on its way over the wide ranges, the last reluctant bits of summer passed, and hints of the coming winter began to appear The yellow glory of the goldenrod, and the gorgeous banks of color on sunflower flats faded to earthy russet and brown; the white cups of the Jimson weed were broken and lost; the dainty pepper-grass, the thin-leafed grama-grass, and the heavier bladed bear-grass of the great pasture lands were dry and tawny; and the broom-weed that had tufted the rolling hills with brighter green, at the touch of the first frost, turned a dull and somber gray; while the varied beauties of the valley meadows became even as the dead and withered leaves of the Dean's walnut trees that, in falling, left the widespread limbs and branches so bare.
Mr Jimson only answered by a distressing cough; and the next moment the girl was on her knees, and their faces had almost knocked together under the table. 'O, my gracious goodness! exclaimed Miss Hazeltine, and sprang to her feet. 'Mr Forsyth gone mad! 'I am not mad, said the gentleman ruefully, extricating himself from his position. 'Dearest.
It was Mrs Jimson who received me as I descended from the station fly a large red woman with hair bleached by constant exposure to weather, clad in a gown which, both in shape and material, seemed to have been modelled on a chintz curtain. She was a good kindly soul, and as proud as Punch of her house. 'We follow the simple life here, Mr Brand, she said. 'You must take us as you find us.
