"If life's just a matter of buying and selling you're li'ble to get sick of it quick." Abe's eyes shot a swift glance in the doctor's direction. "Then what brings you up to Bell River?" he exclaimed. "It ain't a circumstance as a health resort." Bill smiled down at his pipe. "Much the same as you, I guess," he said. "Say, you're talking dollars. You're figgering dollars.
They KEP' asking me questions, George." He sought for utterance, and spluttered. "The Bloody bullies!" he shouted. "The Bloody Bullies." He ceased to weep. He became suddenly rapid and explanatory. "It's not a fair game, George. They tire you out. And I'm not well. My stomach's all wrong. And I been and got a cold. I always been li'ble to cold, and this one's on my chest.
He had a wife en th'ee chilluns, old Brer Tarrypin did, en dey wuz all de ve'y spit en image er de ole man. Ennybody w'at know one fum de udder gotter take a spy-glass, en den dey er li'ble fer ter git fooled. "Dat's de way marters stan' twel de day er de race, en on dat day, ole Brer Tarrypin, en his ole 'oman, en his th'ee chilluns, dey got up 'fo' sun-up, en went ter de place.
"You and me and him," observed the Cap'n, with sullen prod of his thumb in direction of the "gingerbready" tower of the Bickford place rising over the ridge, "marooned in that judges' stand like penguins on a ledge we'll be li'ble to break the monotony. Oh yes! There ain't no doubt about that." "Why, there'll be northin' to it!" blustered Hiram, encouragingly.
Ain't it a pictur'? It's jest a sort o' pictur' a painter feller's li'ble to spend most of his wholesome nights dreamin' about. An' when he wakes up, why, I don't guess he kin even think like it, an' he sure ain't a hell of a chance to paint that way anyhow. Say, d'you make it these things are, or is it jest something He sets in us makes us see 'em that way? He's big He surely is.
Little Mary Elizabeth, why, she looks so purty when she pouts, now, that I've been tempted sometimes to pervoke her to it, thess to witness the new set o' dimples she'll turn out on short notice; but I ain't never done it. I know a dimple thet's called into bein' too often in youth is li'ble to lay the foundation of a wrinkle in old age.
'Tis as preecaryous as a steeple jack's, an' no more permanent thin a Rosenfelt holdover undher Taft. If a king goes out an' looks haughty some wan iv his subjicks fires a gas pipe bomb at him, an' if he thries to be janial he's li'ble to be slapped on th' back in th' paddock an' called 'Joe. "Look at me frind, Abdul Hamid.
Then he added: "I was kind o' thinkin'." "How?" "Why, mebbe two folks chasin' up a pin in a bunch o' grass is li'ble to halve most o' the chances agin either of 'em jabbin' their hands on the business end of it." "Two? You mean you're goin' to come along an' help find Ronny?" Jeff's eyes were expressing the thanks his lips withheld. Bud excused himself.
"The hurt that gives me my misery is where it can't be seen," he said. "Where are you goin', Banjo, with the country riled up this way, and you li'ble to be shot down any place by them rustlers?" Mrs. Chadron asked, looking at him appealingly, her apron ready to stem her gushing tears. "I'll go over to the mission and stay with Mother Mathews till I'm healed up.
I done a Carmencita part in a dance-hall scene last month over to the Bigart, and right in the mi'st of the fight I get a glass of somethin' all over my gown that practically rooned it. I guess I rather do this refined cabaret stuff at least you ain't so li'ble to roon a gown. Still and all, after you been warmin' the extra bench for a month one can't be choosy.
