A touring-car, with its powerful head-lights paling the white radiance of the moon, was drawn up at the steps, and he had a glimpse of a big man, swathed from head to heel in a dust-coat, descending from the tonneau. "I suppose that will be 'Mahsteh Majah," he mused sleepily. "That's why the little lady was sitting up so late she was waiting for him."
The loungers and hangers-on about their doors told the story. Sandwiched between two of the biggest bars, however, was a small shack the only frame building in the place. "Well, this Majah Stover hombre must be in the business," muttered The Kid to himself. His eyes had fallen on the sign over the door: MAJOR STOVER LAND OFFICE Kid Wolf was curious.
In after months, when I was nearly famished, my estimation of "Majah Tunnah" was hardly enhanced by the reflection that what would have purchased me many good meals was probably lost by him in betting on a pair of queens, when his opponent held a "king full." I ventured to step into the office to inquire after my comrades.
You's at Wa'trace Hall Mahsteh Majah's new country-house; yes, sah; dat's whah you is kee-hee!" "And who is 'Master Major'?" pressed Blount, whose bewilderment grew with every fresh attempt to dispel it. "A-ain't she tell you dat? kee-hee! Ev'body knows Mahsteh Majah; yes, sah. If de mistis ain't tell you, ol' Barnabas ain't gwine to no, sah.
Mus' have crawled into mah blous t' keep wahm, Majah." The reply tickled the veteran so much that he let "Chickens" pass, and the next morning there was one officer at the post who had stewed pullet for breakfast. One of the most famous regiments of infantry at Tampa was the Thirteenth. It has the well-earned reputation of being a good fighting body.
Where was "Wartrace Hall," and who was "Mahsteh Majah"? Who was the winsome little lady who looked as if she might be twenty, and had all the wit and wisdom of the ages at her tongue's end who had held him so nearly spellbound over the teacups that he had entirely lost sight of everything but his hospitable welcome?
The anger died out of Arthur's heart, and the warm blood rushed once more through his tingling body. Tears came to his eyes, and he could have embraced his defender. "Nothing like consistency, Majah," said Saulisbury. "Sam, will you be quiet?" The Major went on: "I imagine the whole matter is for Edith to decide. It's really very simple.
Miss Cahline sh' ain't wantin' huh breakfus' twell yo's done, an' she'll tek huh dinneh uhliah. Ah manage, Mahstah Majah. Ah mek all mah reddiments, yes, seh yo's go'n' a' be jes' lahk mah own folks."
But Clem came now, ranging my breakfast dishes about the bowl of plum flowers, and I approached the table with all the ardor he could have wished at his softly spoken, "Yo' is suhved, Mahstah Majah." The sight of Clem, however, inevitably suggests the person to whom I am indebted for his sustaining ministrations.
Folks sometimes takes 'em fer one ernudder, I s'pose it tickles Janet mos' ter death, but it do make Mis' 'Livy rippin'. An' den 'way back yander jes' after de wah, w'en de ole Carteret mansion had ter be sol', Adam Miller bought it, an' dis yer Janet an' her husban' is be'n livin' in it ever sence ole Adam died, 'bout a year ago; an' dat makes de majah mad, 'ca'se he don' wanter see cullud folks livin' in de ole fam'ly mansion w'at he wuz bawn in.
