So he did his best to cheer her with Old Chester's harmless gossip; and one day it was in September she did show a quick and even anxious interest. "Sam Wright's Sam has come back," the doctor said, "the young man arrived on the noon stage. I wonder what monkey-shines he'll be up to next!" "Oh!" she said, and he saw her hands clasp in her lap; "I wonder if his grandfather knows?"
Dick gripped the man's arm, giving a significant pressure before he said: "You'll come along with me, Mock, and it will be worse for you if you try any further monkey-shines with me." He gave another pressure on Mock's arm as he finished. Without a word Mock walked with him to where the horse was tied. "Untie that bridle and buckle the ends together," Dick ordered.
"I guess that girl's got more gumption than any of 'em. She's got 'em straightened up now and I guess she'll take care they don't cut up no more monkey-shines about that Chinese stuff. Her husban' seemed sort o' gentle like." "Artists is that way," volunteered The Hopper, as though from deep experience of art and life.
Osterman, ubiquitous as ever, resplendent in his boots and English riding breeches, moved about between the groups, keeping up an endless flow of talk, cracking jokes, winking, nudging, gesturing, putting his tongue in his cheek, never at a loss for a reply, playing the goat. "That josher, Osterman, always at his monkey-shines, but a good fellow for all that; brainy too.
"Think of the transportation charges I have against it, for the time I have lugged it around over Ohio and Kentucky, to say nothing of the manual labor and the mental strain of learning and prectising 'present arms, 'carry arms, 'support arms, and such military monkey-shines under the hot sun of last Summer!"
In the lull at the end of a deal, while the game-keeper was shuffling the deck, Nick Inwood the owner of the game, remarked, apropos of nothing: "I say, Pentfield, I see that partner of yours has been cutting up monkey-shines on the outside." "Trust Corry to have a good time," Pentfield had answered; "especially when he has earned it."
Hill said the Hen was more fun coming across from Santa Fé than anything he'd ever got up against; and she was all the funnier, he said, because when he picked her up at the Fonda she looked like as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth and started in with her monkey-shines so sort of quiet and demure.
"Little you got to say about it! If you hadn't given it up, I'd took it away from you. So what's the difference?" She shrugged her shoulders. She started around behind him but he sprang toward her. "Don't try no monkey-shines with me!" he snarled. "You stay here in front where I can see you." She obeyed, watching him make what poor meal he could from the contents of her bag.
When the monk rumbled his bass in his stomach, the boy cut up monkey-shines that set every other boy into a laugh, or he stirred up a row that set them all at fisticuffs. And yet this boy was a great favorite. The jolly monk loved him best of all and bore with his wildest pranks.
