Bill was off the bed, wringing Milt's hand with simple joy, with perfect faith that in finding his friend all the troubles of life were over. And Milt was gloomily discovering the art of diplomacy. Bill was his friend, yes, but It was hard enough to carry his own self.
Pinky had soared up from his blankets; was lovingly shaking Milt's hand. Milt knew that he had been tricked, but he felt hopeless. Was it impossible to insult Pinky? He tried again: "I'll be frank with you. You're the worst wind-jamming liar I ever met. Now don't reach for that gat of yours. I've got a hefty rock right here handy."
Slowly, beneath the moral cuff of his dress-shirt, Milt's fist closed in a brown, broad-knuckled lump, and came up in the gesture of a right to the jaw. But it came up only a foot. The hand opened, climbed to Milt's face, rubbed his temples, while he sighed: "Nope. Can't even do that. Bigger game now. Used to could used to be able to settle things with a punch.
I'll split up on the grub I note from your kit that you camp nights. Quite all right, my boy. Pinky Parrott is no man to fear night air." He patted Milt's shoulder with patronizing insolence.
And I do wish Milt would hurry, though!" It was dusk before they heard the pit-pit-pit chuckling down the hill. Milt's casual grin changed to bashfulness as Claire ran into the road, her arms wide in a lovely gesture of supplication, and cried, "We been waiting for you so long! One of my brake-bands is burnt out, and the other is punk." "Well, well. Let's try to figure out something to do."
I had quite a struggle to get through Princeton." Wasn't Mr. Gilson contrasting Saxton's silk shirt with Milt's darned cotton covering, and in light of that contrast chuckling at Milt's boast and Saxton's modesty? Milt became overheated. His scalp prickled and his shoulder-blades were damp. As Saxton turned from him, and crooned to Claire, "More ham, honey?" Milt hated himself.
Aside from the pictures Milt's best tutors were traveling men. Though he measured every cent, and for his campfire dinners bought modest chuck steaks, he had at least one meal a day at a hotel, to watch the traveling men. To Claire, traveling men were merely commercial persons in hard-boiled suits.
Good shape. Landed in tree. Done for. Saw you drift this way. Get machine if yours won't " Sadly Lafe drew the body of his friend aside, covered it with his leather blanket coat, piled brush over it, and drew meditatively back, saying: "Poor Milt! It's all I can do for him now." Again he scanned the penciled lines, remembering that his own machine was in bad shape. "Maybe Milt's will do better.
He lives clear across the city, and the carriage has gone away." "Oh, I have a surplus!" cried Amarilly enthusiastically. "I'll telephone our grocer. Milt's ahelpin' him to-night, and he can ride over here on the grocer's wheel and fetch it." "Why, how in the world did you come by such a thing as a surplice?" asked the widow in surprise.
In the second row she saw Milt's stiffish, rope-colored hair surprisingly smooth above an astoundingly clean new tan shirt of mercerized silk. He laughed furiously at the dialogue between Pete-Rosenheim & Larose-Bettina, though it contained the cheese joke, the mother-in-law joke, and the joke about the wife rifling her husband's pockets.
