"She had these, luggin' along in her little arms, when I first caught sight of her comin'," said Eva. "Where did you get them, Ellen?" asked Fanny. "Who gave them to you?" Ellen was silent, with all their inquiring eyes fixed upon her face like a compelling battery. "Where have you been, Ellen, all the time you have been gone?" asked Mrs. Zelotes.
"Didn't none o' you have sense enough to fasten down the covers carefully, so's to keep the water out? Here it is salt and sugar and coffee, bread and greasy pork all in one nasty mess. I declare, you don't seem to have the sense you wuz born with. You've bin breakin' yourselves down luggin' around 10 or 15 pounds o' water, besides spilin' your rations."
You're here now, but but where have you been all this time? For a man that is, I presume likely, loaded down with money I presume you must be loaded down with it; you remember you'd said you'd never come back until you was for that kind of a man I must say you look pretty down at the heel." "Thankful " "Have you worn out your clothes luggin' the money around?" "Auntie, don't. Look at him. Think!"
Jimmy's face was still clouded, and he made no response to his friend's cheery greeting. "I say, Theo," he began, "I'd like to know what you meant by it, anyhow." "What's the trouble, Jimmy? What do you mean?" "What d'you mean by luggin' that thievin', sarcy Carrots over t' the stand this mornin' an' stuffin' him with grub, an' never askin' him for a red cent?"
Kendall goin' down street together just as he was comin' along. He hollered at you, but you didn't hear him. 'Cordin' to Issachar's tell, you was luggin' a basket with Jonah's whale in it, or somethin' like that." Albert described his encounter with the minister. Rachel was much interested. "Oh, so you saw Helen," she said. "Well, I guess she was surprised to see you."
So I spent most of my noon hour rustlin' through florist shops to get the particular kind of red roses I'd been tipped off to find. I located 'em, though, and bought up the whole stock, sendin' part to the house and luggin' the rest to the head waiter. While I was at the hotel, too, I got next to the orchestra leader and gave him the names of some pieces he was to spring durin' dinner.
"I'll take that boy of yours to the circus," Maurice told Lily, carelessly, one day. "Why, that's awful kind in you, Mr. Curtis; but ain't you afraid somebody'll see you luggin' a child around?" "Lots of men take kids to the circus just as an excuse to go themselves."
Besides, I owed you that much for keepin' me out of the wet last night." "Oh! I judged by the way you lit into me for luggin' you acrost that marsh that all you owed me was a grudge. I DID lug you, though, in spite of your kickin', didn't I?" He nodded with grim triumph. She smiled. "You did, that's a fact," she said.
Ellins comes paddin' out of his stateroom, luggin' two pairs of hip rubber boots. "Torchy," says he, "call Killam, will you?" By the time I'd routed out Rupert, I finds Auntie and Vee waitin' in the main cabin, all dressed for travel. "I may be the oldest joke on record," says Old Hickory, "but I propose to know before morning what is in that mound. Of course, if anyone feels foolish about going "
"We'd be kind o' lost, now, without the little beggar," said the Boy, glancing sideways at Mac. "There's nothin' to be got by luggin' him off to Holy Cross," answered that gentleman severely. "Unless it's clo'es," said Potts. "He's all right in the clo'es he's got," said Mac, with the air of one who closes an argument. He stood up, worn and tired, and looked at his watch.
