Charley was not watching toward Brannon, only along the nearer bank, to the south. Of a sudden, as their eyes followed his, a gun-shot rang out from the cottonwood grove. "Mr. Lounsbury!" cried Dallas, starting forward. "No he's gone " That moment they saw between them and the landing the silhouette of a figure. It was not Lounsbury's; it was too short and thick-set for his.
Marsh's Lectures on the English Language; Bradley's Making of English; Lounsbury's History of the English Language; Emerson's Brief History of the English Language; Greenough and Kittredge's Words and their Ways in English Speech; Welsh's Development of English Literature and Language. What did the Northmen originally have in common with the Anglo-Saxons and the Danes?
He used to repeat with glee Lounsbury's witticism about "the infinite capability of the human mind to resist the introduction of knowledge." I wonder whether he knew of that other good saying of Lounsbury's about the historian Freeman's being, in his own person, a proof of the necessity of the Norman Conquest. He had, at all events, a just and high estimate of the merits of my brilliant colleague.
As she felt the storekeeper's look upon her, she glanced up, and, meeting his eyes, something other than the firelight swept her throat, neck and brow with crimson touch. "There's no fretting in that quarter," was Lounsbury's mental comment. He turned on the bench to face Dallas.
They pushed back their chairs and started to leave the dining room. But it was not written that Kenly Lounsbury should reach the door without further annoyance. The waiter came shouting after them. "Excuse me, Mister," he said kindly, holding out a quarter, "you left some money on the table." Virginia laughed with delight and pocketed the coin herself, but Lounsbury's face became purple.
Lounsbury opened his mouth several times. The same number of times he shut it again. "I see," he said at last, clearly. "Good. And here's some clothes of mine. They're not handsome, and they'll not fit, but they'll keep you dry." He dumped the larger portion of his own waterproofs on the ground at Lounsbury's feet. In the two days that followed, the pack train crossed the divide into Clearwater.
To excuse her father, and to take the blame herself, she told him of the refusal of David Bond's money, and of Mrs. Cummings' slight. "You see," she explained earnestly, by way of putting the best possible colour to the latter episode, "you see, they think over there that we're trash. So they're bound to let us alone. It ain't that they haven't good manners " It was Lounsbury's turn to interrupt.
Then she started homeward, with Simon close upon her heels, and as she crossed the cloud-darkened claim, she glanced again at the shack. Its windows were in shadow, its door almost obscured. There was a smirk on its twisted face. But when, entering the house, she met Lounsbury's kind, level look, the distrust she had felt unconsciously vanished.
So I've stayed, and I guess I'll keep a-staying. But sometimes I get a notion to throw my stores up and go into the cow business or farming." Dallas sank back, checked, not by Lounsbury's words, but by her father. The section-boss, one hand behind a hairy ear, was glowering at the storekeeper. "Eh, what?" he asked suspiciously. "I say I've a notion to take up some land," repeated Lounsbury.
David Bond had told her that when the troops left for the summer campaign, the interpreter would ride with them, the evangelist being retained at the fort to fill the other's place. The latter declared that, by the pilot's report, Lounsbury's name made Matthews "lay back his ears," but that he no longer stormed about losing the claim.
