But if the critics, the estimators of social standing, had seen her and her associates on this fine October afternoon, they would have moved her down several rungs on the social ladder. She was in close conference with a midget, an ex-circus man, out of work and advertised widely to give a talk at the warehouse Saturday night!
Midget and King themselves had quite recovered their good spirits, and were ready to enjoy the ride through the country. They went rather fast, as they had started a bit later than they intended, but not too fast to enjoy the scenery or the interesting scenes on either side. On they went, through towns and villages, past woods and meadows, and up and down moderately high hills.
"Let's see, it's nine o'clock. We can play anything till half-past ten; after that we can only do quiet things. Let's play Blind Man's Buff." "All right, you be it." So King was blindfolded, and he soon caught Kitty, who soon caught Midget, and then she caught King again. But it wasn't very much fun, and nobody quite knew why.
Their ridiculous grimaces caused shouts of laughter from the Chessy Cats who were not being measured at the moment. "Midget! she's the one that counts!" cried King. "She's got a smile like an earthquake! Flossy Flouncy, here, she won't count half as much!" Marjorie only laughed at King's comment, and spread her rosy lips in a desperate effort to beat the record.
One minute the great structure would rise dizzily, high into the black blast, a skyscraper flung up on a mountain Madden could look far below on the lights of the struggling Vulcan. Up there the storm yelled and screamed at every corner and brace of the weltering dock, and wrenched at the midget helmsman.
Riley yielded up a gun and a knife and then he was hustled out of the car, with the midget still clinging to him, and Ted took charge of the tin box. Billy Sudden and some of his men had come up, and so had Ben and Kit, and Riley was conducted back to the ranch house strongly guarded. Once inside with their prisoners and the boys, Ted closed the doors on the curious crowd.
Therefore I have decided to give you your liberty but only on condition that you will remain in this park until I permit you to leave. If you agree to this, nod your head three times." Clement gazed at the midget with confident expectation, but the latter did not move a muscle. "You shall not fare badly," continued Clement.
After breakfast was over, Midget said, "Now, I'll wash up the dishes, Mrs. Geary, and you sit down and take a little rest." "Land sake, child! I ain't tired. An' you ain't used to this work, I see you ain't." "That doesn't matter. I can do it, and I must do something to pay for my board, I have very little money." "Hear the child talk!
And then the voices were quiet and the whole house was still. "Even trouble may be made a little sweet" Mrs. Platt. "Here she is, grandmarm!" called out the Captain. "Run right in, Midget." His wife was marm and his mother grandmarm. Marjorie ran in at the kitchen door and greeted the two occupants of the roomy kitchen.
Nor was it a difficult task; for though the smallest of our birds, the ruby-throat is perhaps the most spirited. No bird, not even the mighty eagle, standard-bearer of the republic, is too big for this midget to attack, and none fails to retire before his rapier-like beak.
