"Yes, indeedy; and, oh, bress de Lord, Massa Vint knows her, and is talkin' like a sweet dove!" It was true. Miss "Limpy," blushing very red, was surprised by Rosa in a very motherly attitude by the patient's cot.
One time I saved up five dollars to buy me a new rig-out, cos my best suit was all in rags, when Limpy Jim wanted me to play a game with him." "Limpy Jim?" said Frank, interrogatively. "Yes, he's lame; that's what makes us call him Limpy Jim." "I suppose you lost?"
Now how trivial Vincent's fever in comparison with this appalling disappearance of Dick and Jack! She walked on over the sparse herbage, over her shoes in the soft sand, when Linda came running from the tent in joyous excitement. "De good Lord, Miss Rosa, she's here; she's done come!" "Who is here who is come?" Rosa cried, impatiently; "not mamma?" "'Deed no, Miss Rosa; Miss Limpy." "What?"
The villainous looking pal nodded and without another word the two made their getaway, safely, in opposite directions. When Limpy Red, still trembling, left the office of Dodge earlier in the evening, he had repaired as fast as his shambling feet would take him to his favorite dive upon Park Row.

Micky, who was in a generous mood, bought a couple of cheap cigars, of which he presented one to his satellite.
"You're near the end of the picture, Allan," remarked Thad; "and as I can see only one figure ahead now, I think something must have happened to our friend Limpy, because he doesn't appear again."
Seth Barrows, otherwise known by his acquaintances as Limpy Seth, because of what they were pleased to speak of as "a pair of legs that weren't mates," was by no means dismayed by the bustle and apparent confusion everywhere around him.
"Yes, I reckon you are kind'er stuck on him! It's a pity, Limpy, 'cause you can't hustle same's the rest of us do, an' so don't earn as much money." "Snip has what milk he needs " "An' half the time you feed him by goin' hungry yourself." "What of that?" Seth cried sharply. "Don't I tell you we two are the only friends each other's got!
