Folks say he come from the wolf, but that ain't no reflection on him, seein' that we come from monkeys ourselves; an' I believe, takin' all things into account, I'd as soon have a wolf for a ancestor as a monkey, an' a little ruther. "Last night in the liberry of my old friend Judge Fowler in Greenville, I looked up some things about this dog question.
De Guenther stopped with a grave little bow, and he and his wife waited for the reply. The Liberry Teacher sat silent, her eyes on her slim hands, that were roughened and reddened by constant hurried washings to get off the dirt of the library books. It was true a good deal of it, anyhow.
Listen, surely there was a knock at the door? Let us go inside the room: I am always uneasy when anybody comes, lest any awkward discovery should be made by a visitor of my miserable contrivances for keeping up the establishment. Joey met them before they had left the landing. 'Please, Berta, he whispered, 'Mr. Ladywell has called, and I've showed him into the liberry.
The Liberry Teacher, gracefully respectful in her place, wriggled with invisible impatience over this carefully polite conversational opening. He had come down here on purpose to see her there must be something going to happen, even if it was only a request to save a seven-day book for Mrs. De Guenther!
"Did you? Did you, dear?" asked Mrs. De Guenther, beaming. "Then you think you will do it?" The Liberry Teacher rose, and squared her straight young shoulders under the worn net waist. "If Mrs. Harrington thinks I'll do for the situation!" she said gallantly, and laughed again.
"What you going to stop off at the Public Liberry for?" asked Freddie. "I'm going to get a great big picture book," returned the little girl. "'Bout Cinderella?" questioned her brother. "No. I'm going to get a picture book with all kinds of stories in it." "We can't stop now!" yelled out Laddie. "We're three blocks past the liberry already." "Well, then I won't bother," answered Flossie.
He'd shoot a man, honey, ef he jass s'picion him to grin out de cornder his eye at him; an' to stan' up dah wid de whole county fa'r roahin' at him it's de God's mussy be did'n have no ahms wid him, dat night! Ole Mist' Chen'eth done brung him home, an' yo' pa reach out an' kick me squah' out'n' de liberry winder soon's he ketch sight er me!"
McGinnis's voice dropped into a low, intent whisper. "Do you mean to tell me that?" he said. "Me, with my thirst?" He laid a hand on Billy's shoulder. "Friend," said he, "I've walked two hundred miles. I've developed your place. I'm in a position to give this town a public liberry worth maybe forty dollars. Now, do you mean to say to me do you mean " He gulped, unable to proceed. Hudgens nodded.
"There are one or two things that I am not up to yet," he answered, with a laugh in the corner of his eye, as he waxed his thread with a flourish. "I should like to know what?" "Bread and button-holes, ma'am." It was a rainy Sunday afternoon, and four boys were trying to spend it quietly in the "liberry," as Jamie called the room devoted to books and boys, at Aunt Jessie's.
You can't catalogue roses on neat cards, or improve their minds by the Newark Ladder System, or do anything at all librarious to them, except pressing them in books to mummify; and the Liberry Teacher didn't think that was at all a courteous thing to do to roses. So Mr. De Guenther's reply quite surprised her.
