"Thar's a lot in that notion," Rube acknowledged. "Guess I'll keep my eye on the hound all the time. An' when I sees her bristles rise an' her teeth showin' an' hears a growl rumblin' up from her throat, I shall sure know that the skunk ain't a far way off." "Hullo!" Rube Carter was studying the architect's plan of Kiddie's woodland cabin.
"Oh, Kiddie!" wailed Elizabeth again, looking up in plaintive appeal "Oh, mother, mother, see! Grace come here! Kiddie's dead! The poor innocent little child!"
The old man recognized that his own upbringing and education had been sadly deficient and that his roughness of speech and manners became painfully obvious in comparison with Kiddie's unvarying courtesy and refinement.
Rube's foot kicked against an unseen pannikin, making an alarming clatter. He looked to see if Kiddie stirred, and saw instead a movement in the tree. The branch just above Kiddie's head was swaying and a strange black body showed itself ominously through the trembling leaves. Rube leant forward and became aware of a pair of large, shining, yellow eyes.
Here, however, there were very few animals to trap, and small opportunity for scouting, although Rube did not for that reason cease to take advantage of Kiddie's wider knowledge and skill. They were out in the canoe fishing one afternoon. Kiddie remarked upon the extreme clearness of the water, and told Rube to lean over and look down into it.
You've filled their little hearts with a joy they never knowed afore. Selfish! Great snakes!" "Tea's ready," announced Rube Carter, breaking in upon the conversation. "I've opened a new tin o' peaches, and thar's cream." In spite of Kiddie's efforts to be homely and unassuming, Gideon Birkenshaw was not always entirely at his ease in his presence.
Rube followed them exactly. It would have been well for him if before starting he had also paid more serious heed to Kiddie's suggestion regarding the weather. But Kiddie had not insisted. Like Rube himself, he had not foreseen more than a mere evening shower of refreshing rain. In Rube's absence, Kiddie occupied himself with the ordinary work of the camp.
