Another fortnight or so elapsing, it occurs to us that we have entirely forgotten what Bill said to us in that letter. We take it out and con it over. Delightful fellow! It is full of his own felicitous kinks of whim, though some of it sounds a little old-fashioned by now. It seems a bit stale, has lost some of its freshness and surprise.
McChesney: "I cer'nly did hate to get up so early this morning, but after you're up it ain't so fierce. And it cer'nly was easy money. Thanks." Emma McChesney glanced quickly at T. A., saw that he was pliant enough for the molding process, and deftly began to shape, and bend, and smooth and pat. "Let's sit down, and unravel the kinks in our nerves.
Yes, sir, I reckon I could keep those fringes out o' kinks." "Oh, I think they'll go straight enough after this"; and the Boy's good spirits returned before they passed the summer village. It came on to snow again, about six o'clock, that second day out, and continued steadily all the night. What did it matter? They were used to snow, and they were as jolly as clams at high-tide.
"Kinks in his nut, kinks in his nut!" Connie Myers was muttering. "I'll drop the bar through from the top, mabbe there's some got stuck in the pipe." He regained his feet, picked up the bar, and ran with it into what was evidently the front hall then his steps sounded running upstairs. Like a flash, Jimmie Dale was across the room and at the fireplace.
The literary entertainers eye you over, as if they were dealers in a slave mart, and speculate on your uses. They try to think how you would do as a scoundrel, and mark your little turns of phrase and kinks of thought to that end.
"I gotcher!" said the Flopper enthusiastically. "Why say, Doc, dat's de way I'd do meself swipe me, if I wouldn't!" "That's the way nearly everybody would do," said Madison, laughing. "There's at least a few similar kinks common to our noble race we're busy most of the time trying to fool ourselves one way or another. Well, that's about all.
"You are so aggravating too, my boy," said the old seaman, with unexpected placidity. "You must give me time to turn round. I can't keep her on board all the time. I must tell her something. Say, for instance, that he is gone up the river. Expected back every day. That's it. D'ye hear? You must put her on that tack and dodge her along easy, while I take the kinks out of the situation.
They drew abreast of his dugout, Ygerne glancing swiftly in at the open door. They had grown silent, even Drennen finding little to say as they moved on. But at length they came to the log, having passed around many green willowed kinks in the Little MacLeod.
De Vere and Maude returned to Hampton, leaving Louis with his father, who, in his society, grew better and happier each day. Hannah, who was growing old, went, from choice, to live with Maude, but John would not forsake his master. Nobody knew the kinks of the old place like himself, he said, and he accordingly stayed, superintending the whole, and coming ere long to speak of it all as his.
"Heaven did not write it," she replied. "No, my daughter," said the duke. "Man is at the bottom of all the kinks and twists in this short life; not Heaven. But Herbeck is right; you shall marry when you will." She sprang into his arms and kissed him. It was, however, a traitorous kiss; for she was saying in her heart that now she would never marry.
