Put you up a sod house quick as you can I'll git you help for that. Now, if you can git anything to cook, and can give meals to my stage outfit when I carry passengers through here, why, I can promise you, you'll git business, and you'll git it a-plenty, too. Why, say, this'd be the best sort of a lay-out, all around.
Thompson had been kind enough to say that it didn't make any difference whether he was with the corps or not; and although Harry protested to the Colonel daily and to Washington Hawkins that he must go back at once to the line and superintend the lay-out with reference to his contract, yet he did not go, but wrote instead long letters to Philip, instructing him to keep his eye out, and to let him know when any difficulty occurred that required his presence.
In England the new suburb too often has nothing but saplings. In America, again, the houses, even the very small ones, are more often detached than with us. Once the lay-out of New York has been mastered its avenues and numbered cross streets it is the most difficult city in the world in which to lose one's way. But Boston is different.
"Is this the largest portion of the room they used?" Kennedy asked. "Did you have your stands any farther back?" "This was the biggest lay-out, sir!" replied the man. "Were all the scenes in which Miss Lamar appeared before her death in this corner of the room?" "Yes, sir!" "And this was the way you had the scene lighted when she dropped unconscious?" "Yes, sir!
"I filled him up good. I jest told him we was wise to James an' his gang, an' was takin' no chances, seein' Sufferin' Creek was such a rich lay-out. I told him we was bankin' up the gold right here, an' holdin' it till the pile was so big we could claim a Gover'ment escort that could snap their fingers at James an' his lay-out."
I laid my proposition before him and he said: "'Well, that looks pretty good to me, but I'd like to go over here to the bank and talk to one of my friends there and see what he thinks of the lay-out. "'Which bank? thought I. Well, as luck would have it, it was the other bank. 'Very well, I said, 'I'll drop over there myself in a few minutes and have the papers all with me.
NOW, Aleck, cash in! you've played the limit. You've got a job lot of four dukes under the hammer; of four nationalities; all sound in the wind and limb and pedigree, all bankrupt and in debt up to the ears. They come high, but we can afford it. Come, Aleck, don't delay any longer, don't keep up the suspense: take the whole lay-out, and leave the girls to choose!"
"Say, Sunny's woke up an' bin thinkin'," he cried. "I allow his brain is shockin' wonderful. Guess he's got sick o' restin' an' reckons he got a notion for makin' a trust lay-out." "The Zip Trust," added Sandy, with a laugh, in which Toby joined heartily. "Yes. He guesses Zip needs lookin' after," declared the remittance man in the midst of his mirth, glancing round for appreciation of the joke.
I never meddled in these matters, they weren't my affair, but I did hate to see the way things were going on, and I don't mind saying that much. Many's the time she had asked me, "Sir Boss, hast seen Sir Launcelot about?" but if ever she went fretting around for the king I didn't happen to be around at the time. There was a very good lay-out for the king's-evil business very tidy and creditable.
No more o' this one-sided lay-out for me, where you get all the soft and it's me for the hard. You belong to me. Yes, you do. Just think back a bit, Nance Olden, and remember the kind of customer I am. If you've forgot, just let me remind you that what I know would put you behind bars, my lady, and it shall, I swear, if I've got to go to the Chair for it!" Tom! It was Tom talking that way to me.
