"Dear me," said the Doctor helplessly, "for such a mite of a kiddy, you do seem remarkably well informed." "Man to man," reminded Roger inexorably and the Doctor aired his final grievance. "And then there's that youngest son of mine " "Doctor Ralph?" "Doctor Ralph! What right had he, I'd like to know, to marry that pretty sister of yours and go off honeymooning holiday time.
Julia drew her chair close to Marie's, put down her yet unlighted cigarette, and looked at her friend shrewdly. "Look here, kiddy," she began, with a softness Marie had never heard in her voice before. Then she stopped and asked: "Where's the brandy?" "There isn't any," said Marie in a far-away voice; "there's only Osborn's whisky, and that's horrid. I'll be all right soon.
If we scrap, we can quit instanter, and no bad feelings.... I'd really like to have you come in, because you look as though you were on, even if you are rather meek and kitteny; and I'm scared to death they'll wish some tough little Mick on to me, or some pious sister who hasn't been married and believes in pussy-footing around and taking it all to God in prayer every time I tell her the truth.... What do you think, kiddy?"
But my name ain't Keogh, you know, though I always went by that. My father died when I was a kiddy, and my mother married again, so I got called by my stepfather's name all my life. This is my right name, and it's a poor man's name to-day." And as the two men bent over him in the light of the flickering slush-lamp, he wrote, with stiff, uncertain fingers, "Patrick Henry Considine."
"Come here, kiddy," the woman held out her hand. "This" and her eyes sought those of the man as though beseeching confirmation "is your uncle." The child advanced and shook hands politely, then stood still, staring at this unexpectedly acquired relative.
"Hullo, boys, been looking for you!" came the call, and Jed Sanborn appeared. "By Christopher Peter! Got a black bear, have yet! Now ain't thet prime!" "What's the news, Jed?" asked Snap. "Lots o' news," said the old hunter. "First thing is, you're to go home to-morrow." "Oh, we know that already," said Whopper. "Next thing is, do you know that tramp feller with the name o' Kiddy Leech? "Yes."
The warm-hearted star, Eleanor Forsythe, whose photographs Duncan had seen hundreds of times, was the first to respond with a half-indignant protest that SHE wasn't too tired and cold to do that much for the dear kiddy, and other volunteers rapidly followed suit.
You rushed me so, you never gave me time to think." "Oh, I say," said Ranny, "what a tiresome kiddy!" With that he kissed her, and between the kisses he asked her, with delirious rapidity: "Who gave you a drawing-room suite? Who gave you a nice house? Who let you call it Granville?" But he knew.
This did not suit Kiddy Leech, and a lively discussion followed, and the matter was compromised. The tramp was given something of another outfit and a third of the money promised to him, and he agreed to accept the rest of the money when he had done the "job" at Firefly Lake. "Mind you now," said Ham, "I want you to make it just as disagreeable for that crowd as you possibly can.
Westby bethought him to ask the same question of Scarborough half an hour later, when they were dressing in the athletic house. “Mr. Upton has consented to serve,” said Scarborough gravely. Westby thumped himself down on a bench, dangling one spiked running shoe by the string. “What! Kiddy!” “The same,” said Scarborough.
