"I had begun to think he was a myth," and he fell in upon the tender meat with the vigorous appetite of youth and a good digestion. Nathaniel Lettis was by no means a fool, and he had experience in business, but the mainspring of the young fellow was frankness, and in the course of the dinner he told his errand. Mr.
The furs and feathers which come to Colmogro, as sables, beavers, minks, ermine lettis, graies, wolverins, and white foxes, with deer- skins, they are brought thither by the men of Penninge, Lampne, and Powstezer, which fetch them from the Samoydes that are counted savage people, and the merchants that bring these furs do use to truck with the merchants of Colmogro for cloth, tin, batrie, and such other like, and the merchants of Colmogro, carry them to Novogrod, Vologda, or Moscow, and sell them there.
He was unheeded until he lurched through the gate which Lettis had left open, as usual, and spinning around in a circle gave voice to his cry.
One member of the party felt that his heart was very full as he looked at it. That was Lettis. "Blast the old office!" he kept saying to himself. "Blast its six dingy windows, and the clock at the end!
It's cruelty to animals for me to straddle a horse now, yet there's where I'm at home, and I'm going to buy me a cayuse of some kind say, I ought to get at that; if I'm going around with Lettis I want to ride a horse know anybody that's got a real live horse for sale, Mattie? No?
It wus made with a bask. When the news got out that I wus goin' to Washington on a tower, the neighbors all wanted to send errents by me. Betsey Bobbet wanted me to go to the Patent Office, and get her two Patent-office books, for scrap-books for poetry. Uncle Jarvis Bently wanted me to go to the Agricultural Bureau, and get him a paper of lettis seed.
Lettis wanted nothing better than a chance to expand on the subject. It was close to his heart. He had been a subordinate about as long as a proud and masterful young fellow ought to be. Now he was quivering to try his own strength, and seeing, for his part, that his host was inspired with a genuine interest and not curiosity, he gave him all the information in his power.
"The peculiar fact is, that my name is Lettis." "Lettuce?" cried Red. "Mattie, I apologise he is a vegetable." At which they all laughed again. "And now," said Red, "I'm Red Saunders, late of the Chantay Seeche Ranch, Territory of Dakota State of North Dakota, I mean, can't get used to the State business; there's a Bill and a Dick on this side of me and two Johns and a Sammy on the other.
There was a world of pleading in the tone. Miss Mattie looked up, her own honest self; all the little feminine shrinkings left her immediately. "Ah, but I could, Will!" she said. Lettis came up on the stoop unheard. He stopped, then gingerly turned and made his way back on tip-toe, holding his arms like wings.
"No; nothing of the kind; it's just sort of an attack of stillness, but I feel durn good." Lettis laughed. "If it wasn't you, Red, I'd say you were in love," he said. It was well the barn was dark; or he would have seen a change wonderful to behold come over the ex-puncher's face.
