He laughed when the Florida partridge, a small quail, whirred up from under his feet; he paused to exchange affectionate mockery with red squirrels; and once, even when he was brought up suddenly to a familiar and ominous, dry reverberation, the small, crisp sound of the rolling drums of death, he did not look about him for some instrument of destruction, as at any other time he would have done, but instead peered cautiously over the log before him, and spoke in tolerant admonition: "Now, Misteh Rattlesnake, yo' jes min' yo' own business.
Bentley, "I have brought home a gentleman for supper." "Yassah, Misteh Ho'ace. I was jest agwine to open up de blin's." He lifted the wire screens and flung back the shutters, beamed on the rector as he relieved him of his hat, and noiselessly retired.
Oh, no, my deah Virginia, not quite that. The word smacks too much of the po-lice cou'ts. Let us say that Misteh Winton has found your company mo' attractive than that of his laborehs, and commend his good taste in the matteh." So much he said by way of damping down the fire he had so rashly lighted. Then Jastrow came in with one of the interminable cipher telegrams and Virginia was left alone.
But you have done no unpahdonable mischief: Misteh Winton would have found out for himself in a few hours, and we are ready for him now." "Oh, dear! Then he will be beaten?" "Unquestionably. Faveh me by going to bed, my deah. Your roses will suffeh sadly for all this excitement, I feah. Good night."

The startled eyes veiled themselves swiftly, and Virginia's voice sank to its softest cadence. "Have I been an accomplice," she began, "in this this despicable thing, Uncle Somerville?" Mr. Darrah began a little to see his mistake. "Ah an accomplice?
"But, Uncle Somerville, I don't understand " The Rajah laughed. "That was a very pretty blush, my deah. Bless your innocent soul, if I were young Misteh Winton, I'm not sure but I should consideh the game well lost." She was gazing at him wide-eyed now, and the blush had left a pallor behind it. "You mean that I that I " "I mean that you are a helpeh worth having, Miss Carteret.
Misteh what's-his-names he says something to de docteh, an' den dey goes afteh de cobwebs, suah 'nough. 'Tain' bleedin' no mo', missy. He's mostes' neah doin' we'y fine. Co'se, he cain' walk fo' sev'l days wiv dem laigs o' his'n, but " "Then, in heaven's name, how are we to get to Edelweiss?" "He c'n ride, cain't he? Wha's to hindeh him?" "Quite right. He shall ride inside the coach.
Oh, yo' son done comin' back 'cause Misteh Horace say he sho' goin' jus' tak' care of him." "But, Bo Peep, why do you not believe we'll have Horace here again?" Virginia asked. The black man only shook his head mournfully as he answered determinedly, "Ef yo' saves a life, you has to give one for hit, mos' eveh time, an' mo' specially in the Fillippians whah they's so murderful and slaughterous."
The next instant he was well on his way to the Weaver barn, supplication floating over his shoulder. "Don't shoot, misteh! Fo' de Lawd's sake, don't shoot!" Old Man Curry picked up the weight pad and started for the gate.
