"Am anyt'ing de mattah?" she asked. "I done heah yo' all talkin' in heah, an' I t'inks maybe dat honey lamb Freddie done got his steam enjine squirtin' watah ag'in." "Not this time, Dinah," said Mrs. Bobbsey, for the cook was almost like one of the family. Then the twins' mother explained what the trouble was. "I 'clar t' goodness!" Dinah exclaimed.
I'se comin'!" cried the colored cook, as she heard Freddie's wild cry. "What am de mattah, honey lamb?" Others were asking this question now. "What's it all about?" called Bert. "A bear!" answered Freddie. "Lions and tigers," added Flossie, half sobbing. "Gracious!
"When this little mattah is settled," the Texan drawled, "I have a little personal business with yo', man to man." Jack Hardy moistened his lips feverishly. Although he was not now covered by The Kid's guns, he lacked the courage to begin a fight. He knew how quick Kid Wolf could be, and he was a coward. The Texan was stacking the gold into neat piles.
He saw that something out of the ordinary was going on, and breaking into a run he called out: "Am anyt'ing de mattah, Massa Bert? Am yo' habin' trouble wif anybody?" "Well, I guess it's all over now," said Bert, as he saw Danny turn and walk toward the gate.
I've got to make up those lessons, no mattah what the nurse says. I can rest aftahward." A few minutes later she presented herself at Miss Gilmer's door with the announcement that she would go to bed an hour earlier than usual, in order to get a good start for the next day. All that week she worked with a restless energy that kept her keyed to the highest pitch of effort.
"I don't know what's the mattah with me," she said, "that I couldn't keep up with you all, unless it's true what Miss Gilmer said. The ice is too thin for holiday dissipations, and this picnic was too great a weight for it." Betty glanced at her white face anxiously. "Go and lie down the rest of the afternoon," she said. "I'll tie up your packages."
Chewsday will soon be hyar, an' what is done mus' be done in a hurry. It's a pity de Jedge an' Mas'r George is gwine to start early to Lexinton tomorrer, so dey can't 'tend to de mattah; but I'll jes inform Miss Viola of de situwation."
'What's the mattah? says his lordship, soothing his moustache. They break apart, and 'tis left to me to explain from the window. My lord looks shocked, Richard is angry with her for having to be ashamed of himself, Beauty dries her eyes, and after a pause of general foolishness, the business of life is resumed.
"I'm not going to be cheated out of my share of the wedding, no mattah what a dahk past eithah of you had. Forget it, and come and help us hunt the foah-leaf clovahs that Eugenia wants for the dream-cake boxes." "What are they?" asked Miles Bradford, as he edged out of the pantry after the others.
"Ole marse is crosser'n two sticks," growled Walker to the cook at dinner. "There ain't no livin' with him. What do you s'pose is the mattah?" Mom Beck was busy putting lunch on the table when the Little Colonel looked in at the kitchen door. So she did not see a little tramp, carrying her shoes in one hand, and a basket in the other, who paused there a moment.
