The first day I was here, he brought a woman out, a swell looker I didn't find out till afterwards that it was Felderson's wife an' he kinda kidded her along about helpin' him over the rough spots by lendin' him a little of her dough.
He looked at her collectedly and studiously, with an approving little side-shake of the bull-dog, pugnacious-looking head. "You're the same fine looker!" was all he said, with an appreciative clucking of the throat. Oh, how she hated him, and everything for which he stood!
Bob felt sore and stiff as a result of the moonlight battle, but he showed little visible sign of it, although there was enough to excite questioning at the breakfast table. Bob narrated what had taken place, and the family was very indignant over Buck's invasion of their property. "If you hadn't given young Looker such a sound trouncing I would make a complaint to his father," said Mr. Layton.
And she dares come down here and sneak her way into honest people's houses! The gall of her!" "Looker here, girl!" exclaimed Cap'n Ira sternly. Putting his hand upon Ida May's shoulder, he forced her down into her chair again. His own eyes gleamed angrily, and his countenance expressed his wrath. "What was you told on coming here? Didn't you promise to keep a taut line on all that foolishness?
Or do you suppose," she added, looking at Lord Dawne, "that the opposition is mercifully preordained by nature to generate the right amount of heat by friction to keep things going so that we do not come to a standstill on the way to human perfection? It is very wonderful any way," she added "to the looker on; wonderfully funny!"
"No other place where you could go to-night. Ashland's a good twenty-five miles from here. But you'll be all right. Mom Wallis 'll look out for you. She isn't much of a looker, but she has a kind heart. She pulled me through once when I was just about flickering out. Come on. You'll be pretty tired. We better be getting back.
If I just had her pocket book wouldn't I show the world? But anyhow I'm glad she went in a private car. There was a little class to her, though if t'had been mine I'd uv preferred ridin' in the parlor coach an' havin' folks see me and my fine husband. He's some looker, George Benedict is! Everybody turns to watch 'em as they go by, and they just sail along and never seem to notice.
Precious in the sight of the Lord of humanity, the Psalms tell us, is the death of his saints. It had need to be precious; for it is very costly, when by the stroke, a mother is left desolate, and the peace-maker, and peace- looker, of a whole society is laid in the ground with Caesar and the Twelve Apostles.
My friend nearly prostrated me with a hearty punch by way of expressing his feelings, whilst I was choking for an answer. "Well, sir, I gave him the figger. He bought so quick that it made me sick I hadn't asked more. Looker here!" He displayed two new greenbacks which covered the amount. We embraced. At last Mammy had become a source of revenue.
No, my lad, don't!" As the last words left his lips, Don stood perfectly upright, balancing himself for a few moments, and then, almost as if he were going to dive into the water, he extended his hands and sprang outward into space. Jem Wimble uttered a low groan. In the case of a leap like that made by Don, there was no suspense for the looker on, for the whole affair seemed to be momentary.
