"I don't go because my father won't have me go. Metalka went. When she first came back, she was so happy, so strong. She was going to have everything white way, civ I can't say it, Maje Molly." "Do you mean civilized?" "Yes, yes; civ'lized white way. And she worked, she talked, she tried, and nobody'd pay much 'tention but my father.
"Nobody'd take his word for nuthin'." "'Less he was t' say he was a fool out an' out," another boy suggested. "Dunno as I'd b'lieve him then," said Sam. "Fer I'd begin t' think he knew suthin'." A little girl came in, crying, one day. "What is the trouble?" said the teacher, tenderly, as he leaned over and put his arm around her. "My father is sick," said the child, sobbing.
But I thought that, if I changed the two, nobody'd know, because Bess Ellison's mother hadn't seen her. And I thought of how the property would come back to the Thorntons that way, if I put my girl's Bess in the other's place. And I up and did it, quick.
But he held on ter life 's ef he couldn't say die, nohow; and I tell yer, Mercy, it wuz a sight nobody'd ever forget, to see him goin' round the street with one side o' his face all bound up, and his well eye a rolling round, a-doin' the work o' two. He got so he couldn't see at all out o' either eye afore he died, 'n' you could hear his screeches way to our house.
You read and then you dream about the places how grand they are and how well off you'll be. But nobody'd be fool enough to answer one of 'em unless she was out of a job and had to get another and didn't care how rotten it was. No, it's just dope like buyin' policy numbers or lottery tickets. You know you won't git a prize, but you have a lot of fun dreaming about it."
I'll have to talk Spanish, and nobody'd have to look at Castillo more than once to know he was born up in some crack in the Andes." Which was one of the Lieutenant's jokes, for the Corporal, though a Colombian, was as white, sharp-witted, and energetic as any American on the Zone. "But no one to look at him would suspect that Fr French, is it?" "Franck." "Oh, yes, that Franck could speak Spanish.
The beam is cut away there, and room enough left for this, right under the shafting. Nobody'd ever think of going near it when the mill was running; but I climbed up there and took hold of the shaft, and I spied it."
Up there, nobody'd molest you, nobody'd know you. That's what I've been planning. You could look after the farm and Bill could go back and forth. As soon as the news comes that Red Feather killed Gledware, it'll be taken for granted that he killed Red Kimball and attacked the stage. You'll be cleared of all that and nobody will want you arrested." Willock rose.
"He came pretty near finishing himself, the second day he was here, all the same," added Grant. "Did you hear about it, papa? Nobody'd told him to look out a little, till he was used to this air. He started out to run, and it used him up in no time, so he turned blue-white, and nearly dropped. He's taking it slowly, now; and is getting into it by little and little."
He had a good deal of confidence in it. It was the reason for his Darthian crew. Nobody'd expect such a thing to be tried, so it almost certainly could be done.
