He caught her close, when he saw that he had hurt her feelings a little, and held her a minute. "When I get two good legs under me, Wilhemina," he promised softly, "I'm going to stake myself to the job of taking care of you. Your cheeks are pretty thin, little lady-girl. Damn the luck, anyway!" "Here's the lather. I'm going down and saddle up," said Billy Louise.
There never will be." Billy Louise reached up her hands to his shoulders and tried to give him a shake. "Is that why you've stuck yourself in these hills for three whole months and never come near? You fibber!" "That's why, lady-girl. I've been sticking here, working like one son-of-a-gun for you. So I could have you sooner."
"This is a poem I made up myself," said Midget, modestly, "and I think it's very nice: "When Kitty goes to Grandma's I hope she will be good; And be a lady-girl and do Exactly as she should. 'Cause when I go to Grandma's, I act exceeding bad; I track up 'Liza's nice clean floor, And make her hopping mad!" Marjorie's poem was applauded with cheers, as they all recognized its inherent truth.
She hoped she did not look scared, but she was wondering all the time what Rattler would do when she "piled on"; pile her off, probably, her pessimism told her, for Billy Louise was no lady broncho-fighter, for all she rode so well on horses that she knew. There is a difference. "Sure you want to tackle him, lady-girl?"
He knew the ways of the one, and not the ways of the other. Chairs ornate were doubtless poor things to daisied banks, yet the other day he had hardly brought himself to sit on one of Mrs. Sclater's! It was a moment of awful seeming. But what would he not face to see once more the lovely lady-girl!
"Don't let happiness get on your nerves, Ward." "If I wasn't crippled, it wouldn't. But when a man's down and out, he thinks a lot. The last three days, I've lived a whole lifetime, lady-girl. Everything seems to be coming my way, all at once. And I'm afraid; what if I can't make good?
"Oh, I guess you can, all right, but " "Well, if I can, I'm going to. If you think I can't handle a measly old skate like that " "He's been running out for nearly two months, Wilhemina " "And look at his ribs! If you'll just kindly go in the house while I saddle " "I'll kindly stay right here, lady-girl. You don't know Rattler " "And you don't know Billy Louise MacDonald."
