Pepper had gone over to Grandma Bascom's the old lady having been sick for a day or two and been caught there by the sudden shower, "and should see you, you'd feel badly, Joey." At the mention of Mamsie, Joel's grasp on Davie's arm dropped, and he slunk back. Then Ben pulled him into a place next to him, quiet was restored, and Polly was soon launched on one of her wonderful stories, "Mr.
The dying scene was irresistibly comic, and I question if Liston, Munden, or Joey Knight, was ever greeted with such merriment; for Romeo dragged the unfortunate Juliet from the tomb, much in the same manner as a washerwoman thrusts into her cart the bag of foul linen. But how shall I describe his death?
'How long are letters going to Bloomsbury? she said suddenly. 'Two hours, Joey tells me, replied Picotee, who had already inquired on her own private account. 'There! exclaimed Ethelberta petulantly. 'How I dislike a man to misrepresent things! He said there was not time for a reply!
"I know Phronsie wants a story; don't you, Phronsie?" asked Van artfully, and running over to peer into her face. But to his astonishment, Phronsie stood perfectly still. "No," she said again, "I don't want a story; Joey must be sick." "Jasper," cried Polly in despair, and springing up, "something must be done. Grandpapa's coming; I hear him."
Greater wonder than these, when a bottle-nosed person in a glazed hat had after some considerable hesitation ordered another glass of gin and water of the attendant potboy, and when Miss Abbey, instead of sending it, appeared in person, saying, 'Captain Joey, you have had as much as will do you good, not only did the captain feebly rub his knees and contemplate the fire without offering a word of protest, but the rest of the company murmured, 'Ay, ay, Captain!
The door, however, was open, and, with the pistol still menacing him, Roy was marched by his captors into the moldy, smelling place. Handing his pistol to the other man, gruff-voice otherwise Joey Eccles struck a match. Carefully screening it from the draughts which swept through the rickety building, he led the way into a bare room in which was a tumble-down table and two boxes to serve as seats.
No scream would Joey have screamed, nor tear shed, if he'd helped himself from the box; but 'twas a case when a big heart saved a little body, for Joey had put another creature before himself and the first sweetie out of the gift had went to his pup.
"PHRONSIE GIVING AWAY HER DOLLS, MAMSIE?" screamed Joel. "Why, what does Grandpapa say?" "He's the very one that proposed it," said Mrs. Fisher. "There, Joey, don't get excited, for I don't know what the doctor will say," as Joel sank back on his pillow, overcome by this last piece of news. When Phronsie went to bed that night she clasped Mr. King's new gift to her breast.
"If I did, Joey, I should no longer be happy, no longer be my own master, and do as I please; in fact, I should no longer be the gentleman, that is, the gentleman by profession, as near as I can be one the man who has his liberty, and enjoys it. No, no, boy; I have tried almost everything, and have come to my own conclusions. Have you been reading the book I gave you?"
Joey leapt down, and put his pistol to the animal's head, and blew out his brains, while McShane, who had followed our hero, with the other pistol disabled the only wolf that remained.
