"Ay; and that is just what I did." "Is my uncle here?" "No, indeed; he believed my scheme to be so wild that he would hardly listen to me, and said you three had the same as come to your death already, therefore it was useless to raise a finger in your behalf while there were so many hundred people near at hand needin' assistance." "Who then did you expect would come to our aid?"
""Well," I says, "I ain't seen my hand since the draw, but I'll raise you nine blind." An' I boards a ten-dollar bill. "'When the rest goes, I sorter sidles forth an' lines out for the dance-hall. The fact is I'm needin' what you-alls calls stimulants. But all the same it sticks in my head about castin' good deeds on the water that a-way. It sticks thar yet, for that matter.
"'If I had ten dollars I'd about call you a lot on that, says Wilkins, 'but I'm a pore cuss an' ain't got no ten dollars, an' what's the use? None of you-alls ain't got no Red Light whiskey- chips you ain't usin', be you? S'pose you-alls gropes about in your war-bags an' sees. I'm needin' of a drink mighty bad.
Buck nodded his head. "Maybe I'm guessin'. I ain't sayin'. But wal, you can't be sure this ways off. Y' see, Cæsar has a heap o' sense, an' his saddle-bags are loaded down with a heap o' good food. An' you're needin' that same as me." The rightness of Buck's conjecture was proved before evening, but not without long and painful effort.
However, the man stooped over me, kindly enough, and lifted off the mattress and did his best to make me comfortable; only when I asked him where the doctor was he pretty dismally shook his head. "It's th' doctor himself is needin' doctorin', poor soul," he answered, "he bein' with his right leg broke, and with his blessed head broke a-most as bad as yours!"
"Comin' along, Slum," replied Carney, winking knowingly to let Tresler understand that the man's impatience was only a covering for his discomfiture at Shaky's hands. "I've done my best to pizen you this ten year. Guess Shaky's still pinin' fer the job o' nailin' a few planks around you. Here you are. More comin'." "Who's needin' me?" asked Shaky, looking up from his cards.
We're needin' kids like you in this town, an' I allow you'll find a shelter here till spring. Then, if the settlement don't suit you, it'll be only a case of goin' on when the travellin' is easier." "Do you mean that we'd better live here?" Dick asked in surprise. "That's the way some of us have figgered it." "Can I find work enough to pay our way?
But, as A was sayin', if ye'll follie that trade, with the capital that A'm goin' to give ye, ye may live yet to be as rich as mysel'. Ye see, ye would have always had a share of it when A was gone; it appears ye're needin' it now; well, ye'll get the less, as is only just and proper." Uncle Adam cleared his throat. "This is very handsome, father," said he; "and I am sure Loudon feels it so.
Down went the barometer down, down, slowly, uncompromisingly down! 'Twas shocking to the nerves to consult it. "An' I'm tellin' you this, lads," said a man on my father's wharf, tugging uneasily at his sou'wester, "that afore midnight you'll be needin' t' glue your hair on!" This feeling of apprehension was everywhere on the roads, in the stages, in the very air. No man of our harbour put to sea.
"I guess the baths o' Rome that Paul tells about wuz good in their day, which wuz a mighty long time ago, but not needin' 'em ez bad ez we did, mebbe, them Roman fellers didn't enjoy 'em ez much. What do you say to that, Paul, you champion o' the ancient times which hev gone forever?" The only answer was a long regular breathing. Paul had fallen asleep.
