And you've found out that the young scamp is back that Lawson?" Lois Ann, for a moment, knew relief. "It it isn't Burke," the words came lingeringly. "Yes, I know he's back is he here?" This affrightedly. "No but he's been. He may come again. His maw's always empty, but I will say this for the scoundrel he gives more than he takes, in the long run. But if it isn't Lawson, who then?
I don't begretch the money, and I think the young man was right, and so was the judge, and I'll never do it again. The commissioner said that I looked like a woman of sense. I always did have sense before. I think it must be these mountains, or the moon, or something. I never felt that way before." It was this young man who walked down to Maw's camp to take her number.
Because Sary was the smallest of the lot he pressed the dollar into her shrinking, amazed palm. "Paw's got more money'n that," Sybilly announced proudly. "Paw's got a million dollars. A man bought our ranch and gave him a lot of money. We're rich now. Maybe paw'll buy us a phony-graft. He said maybe he would. And maw's goin' to have a blue silk dress with green onto it. And "
"Send a wire to my mother," said Jimmy, "You see, Maw's worried, and it'll make her so happy that I can't put that off for another minute. Do you mind if I tell her that I got the job through your kindness?" "If you wish," said Martin, with a smile. "You can step to the desk over there and find a form, and I'll have it sent from here."
The chickens on this place will never mix with the garden trucks, if I have any say about it," declared Hiram, laughing. "By Jo!" exclaimed Henry. "Dad says Maw's dratted hens eat up a couple hundred dollars' worth of corn and clover every year for him-runnin' loose as they do."
But I dare say you'd find the place quite as comfortable with Lord Beverdale for a host as you would if you had found out he were a cousin," he added. "Better," said the young lady frankly. "I suppose your mother participates in these preferences?" said the consul, with a smile. "No," said Miss Desborough, with the same frankness, "I think maw's rather cut up at not finding a Desborough.
The rains was late and lodged yer maw's barley, so as 't she didn't have half a crop; an' you know yer paw's kind o' kind o' easy," having chosen the adjective after some hesitation, Lysander lingered over it approvingly, "and bein' as she was dead set on fightin' the Colonel, she mortgaged the ranch to raise the money for the lawsuit." Lysander stopped again.
I know that next year I shall again see Maw leaning against a big pine, as she sits upon the ground drinking real handmade coffee of her own from a tin cup with the handle cut so it will nest down in the box. Maw's meals do not cost her four bits a throw, because they brought things along.
It got all damp the letter, foreign postmark, stamp and all by the time he put it into Maw's hand. It was a double letter or so one judged, first opening it. There was another inside, complete, sealed, and addressed in Nat's hand; but one must read the paper inclosed with it first that was obvious.
Sometimes they hang straight down au naturel, and sometimes they stop at the knee in which case, as Maw's au naturel is disposed to adipose they make a startling adjunct to the mountain scenery. But, bless her heart, Maw doesn't care! She is on her way and on her vacation, the first in all her life.
