No sooner were the good-nights spoken, than the old ranchero returned, and, snapping his fingers for attention, motioned me to follow. By a circuitous route we reached the jacal of Tiburcio. The old couple had not yet retired, and Juana blushingly admitted us. Uncle Lance jollied the old people like a robust, healthy son amusing his elders.
We made an early start from San Antonio the next morning, passing to the westward of the then straggling city. The vaqueros were disturbed over the journey, for Fort Worth was as foreign to them as a European seaport, but I jollied them into believing it was but a little pasear.
"I wish it had been Pearl," said Bertie, "Gee! she wouldn't ha' been so sore; she'd just laughed and jollied about it." "So you know Pearl, do you?" Mr. Neelands could feel a revival of interest in life; also the stiffness began to leave his lips, and his tongue felt less like tissue paper. "I guess everyone knows Pearl," said Bertie, with a consciousness of superiority on at least one point.
Gee, I don't mind being jollied, but I would like to go. That's one thing you ought to be thankful for you're not small. Of course, maybe girls can't do so many things as boys I mean scouting-like but oh, crinkums," he broke off in an ecstasy of joyous reflection. "Oh, crinkums, that'll be some trip, believe me."
He thought of his friend Roy Blakeley and of the happy summers spent at Temple Camp; of the stalking and tracking, and campfire yarns, and how they used to jolly him, just as these soldiers jollied him, and call him "Sherlock Nobody Holmes" just because he was interested in deduction and had "doped out" one or two little things.
That's how I got acquainted with Frenchy I mean Armand " "Yes!" she cried, and at the mention of Armand old Pierre could scarcely keep his seat. "He came with some soldiers from Illinois. That's out west. He was good-natured and all the soldiers jollied him. But he always said he didn't mind that because they were all going to fight together to get Alsace back.
They jollied one another. They saw nothing but sunshine in the sawdust pathway before them. "You are a grand genius!" declared old Benares to Andy. "My friends, one thought: in six weeks up from Andy the school boy, to Andy the acrobat." "Hold on now, Mr. Benares," cried Andy, smilingly. "That was because of my royal, good friends like you." "And your own grit," said Marco.
"Hurry up there, Mr. Stonehouse. Don't keep the lady waiting. Tea and puff, as ordered, ma'am. No, ma'am, no tipping allowed in this establishment. But anything left under the plate will be sent to the Society for the Cure of the Grouch among Superior Waiters." She jollied Christine, whose answering smile was like a little puzzled ghost.
I'm not famous for my voice," admitted the boy. "Just so's you can sing something the cows like, it'll be all right," Steve told him. "If anything should happen, you have to sing. It keeps the cows from getting nervous." "Maybe if I sing it will make them nervous," suggested Walter, not so easily jollied. "You'd better learn Henery's song, here," said Steve.
He went around the big tent and watched the last performance of the season, and complimented the performers, went into the dressing room and jollied the members of the staff, and when the performance was over, and the audience had gone, all the managers and everybody connected with the show gathered in the ring to bid each other good bye, and make presents to each other.
