Bennington wondered vaguely who Bill might be, but he was beginning to feel a little tired from the excitement and his wound, so he said nothing. "The next thing is grub," remarked Fay, rising and gathering his pony's reins. "I'll mosey up to the shack and see about supper. You fellows can sit around and talk until I get organized." He turned to move away, leading his horse.
Ellmother give no reason for leaving my aunt, at such a time as this?" she asked. "The very words I said to her, miss." "And what did she say, by way of reply?" "She burst out crying a thing I have never known her to do before, in an experience of twenty years." "And she really asked you to take her place here, at a moment's notice?" "That was just what she did," Mrs. Mosey answered.
"Maybe you an' Swanson better mosey back yonder to the cabin, where I can keep an eye on you easy, while I send after the hosses. Farnham, climb back on top of the dump there, an' give them boys the signal to come on." The gambler removed his hat, running one hand carelessly through his hair, his thin lips sufficiently parted to reveal his white teeth. "I hardly think we are exactly done yet, Mr.
For a moment he had no words with which to adequately reply, and he merely shook his head. Instantly the other flew into one of his savage paroxysms by which it was so much his habit to carry through his purpose when obstructed. "You stand there shakin' your fool head like some mosey old cow," he cried, with a ruddy flush suddenly mounting to his temples.
"Both gone to have a confab with Burke; an' good enough for the likes o' them," replied Mosey. "Them sort o' varmin's the curse o' the country. I ain't a very honorable sort, myself, but I'd go on one feed every two days before I'd come as low as them. So a feller from the Diamantinar told me a fortnit ago." "Smart fellows in their way," remarked Thompson.
Presently Dixon, pitying his emotion, remarked to Thompson in a gratuitously lively tone, and with diction too florid for exact reproduction, "Say was I tellin' you I seen that white bullock you swapped to Cartwright las' year? I think he's gittin' a cancer; mebbe it's on'y blight; I would n't say. "Ah!" replied Thompson absently. "What become o' yer place?" asked Mosey, turning to Cooper.
Mosey inquired. She entered the room pale and trembling. Seeing that ominous change, Emily dropped back into her chair. "Dead?" she said faintly. Mrs. Mosey looked at her in vacant surprise. "I wish to say, miss, that your aunt has frightened me." Even that vague allusion was enough for Emily. "You need say no more," she replied. "I know but too well how my aunt's mind is affected by the fever."
"We'll just mosey over and get a closer look," he told his pony. "Things don't look just right over there." Gray Leg, scenting a new interest, tucked himself together. The sand sprayed to little puffs of dust as he swung to a lope. Lorry was curious and a bit elated at the promise of a break in the monotony of hunting stray cattle.
"Mebbe you'd put me wise to the same thing," said the other. "I'm settin' here, puttin' in a heap of my time tryin' to figger out who got the most of the six months' wages which I had with me when I struck town yesterday an' not makin' a hell of a lot of progress when you mosey up here an' begin to laugh your fool head off. At nothin', so far's I can see. Well, that's what I was laughin' at.
Why, there was no end to that feller's childishness. An' mind you, this was among the tamest blackfellers in the world. Why, Burke was dotin'. Wants a young feller, with some life in him, for to boss a expegition; an' on top o' Burke's swellishness an' uselessness, dash me if he wasn't forty!" "Well, no; he war n't too old, Mosey," interposed Price deprecatingly.
