And then we wrote my father, or, rather, I wrote him without telling Carl till after the letter was mailed, and bless his heart! he replied with a fat God-bless-you-my-children registered letter, with check enclosed, agreeing to my stipulation that it should be a six-per-cent business affair.
But there must be always a small minority that cannot tolerate ennui; that must seek risks and daring exploits; that would rather lay down their lives, today, in some man-sized exploit, than live twenty-five years longer in the dull security of a humdrum rut. "Such men have always existed and probably always will. We are all, I believe, of that type. Therefore you will all understand me.
"That's good, man-sized talk, son," he commented gently, "and I reckon I haven't a word to say against it. All I'm going to beg for is this: we're kin, boy mighty close kin.
"Lord God, that's a man-sized job, but You just give me hands and eyes and time, and I'll do the best I can. You've done Your part by me stand by, and I'll do mine by You!"
Got anything loose about your person I mean food, man-sized food, not canary-bird rations such as those bandits have been doling out to me?" "You can't have anything now. After we have gotten away from here I will try to dig up a snack for you. Silence!" For the next several minutes neither the prisoner nor his mysterious friend uttered a word.
A house in which, after a while, there will be no capitalists and no exploiters and no wreckers, only workers each man and woman on the job they were fitted for? It's a man-sized job, but isn't it worth tackling? It's sure worth tackling, Captain. GEORGE. And can't we begin it, in a modest way, by making a little model of the big house right here in Foxon Falls? Dr. Jonathan will help us.
"Speakin' personal," said Buck Heath with much heartiness, "I don't pass up no chances with no man, and particular if he's Jasper Lanning." He hooked his arm through Jasper's elbow. "Besides, that boy of yours has got me all heated up. Where'd he learn them man-sized words, Jas?" All of which Andy heard, and he knew that Buck Heath intended him to hear them.
For though she did pause to stare at his white drill trousers and unbelievable man-sized boots with frankly childish astonishment, the next instant she had recovered herself and without another glance preceded her father across the grass. Quite as though Steve had not been there at all she passed him, to hesitate demurely at Caleb's side. "Good morning, Uncle Cal," she greeted him.
"Not on your tin-type," declared the ticket-taker. "`Me? I says to her. `Me? I'd pinch the harp and pawn it for ten growlers of Dutch beer and some man-sized rum!" "Hee, hee hee!" grinned Mr. Wrenn. "Ha, ha, ha!" grumbled the bartender. "Well-l-l," yawned the ticket-taker, "the old woman'll be chasing me best pants around the flat, if she don't have me to chase, pretty soon.
For this old fogy, old foggy town of London is a man-sized town, and a man-run town; and it has a fascination of its own that is as much a part of it as London's grime is; or London's vastness and London's pettiness; or London's wealth and its stark poverty; or its atrocious suburbs; or its dirty, trade-fretted river; or its dismal back streets; or its still more dismal slums or anything that is London's.
