"Goodness gracious!" drawled the Virginian. "What's that for?" Now Mr. Taylor had been married for some years. "To educate the offspring of Bear Creek," he answered with pride. "Offspring of Bear Creek," the Virginian meditatively repeated. "I don't remember noticin' much offspring. There was some white tail deer, and a right smart o' jack rabbits."
Kiddie had come to a halt, and, still with the wigwam poles over his shoulder, was staring curiously at the ground at his feet. "You passed by without noticin' that, Rube," he said, when the boy went back to him. What he was staring at was the stub of a cigarette. "It wasn't lyin' there when I went along here this mornin', I guess. You c'n see by the ash that it hasn't been here long.
I ain't much of a hand fer noticin' babies." "You are sure, absolutely positive about all this?" whispered Lapelle intensely. "You bet yer boots I am." "She ran off with a married man?" "She did. A feller by the name o' Gwynne, as I said afore, Bob Gwynne. An' I want to tell you, he got out o' that town jest in time or I'd have slit his gizzard fer him.
If me an' Eliza seem to act queer it's because we knowed your father an' an', well, I can't help noticin' how much you look like him. When he was your age he must have looked enough like you to be your twin brother. We don't mean no disrespect, an' I hope you'll overlook our nateral curiosity." Kenneth was relieved. The furtive looks were explained.
I was just noticin' that they was chained and locked when the Lieutenant gives me a nudge and pulls me along by the coat sleeve. I gets a glimpse of the square-built female waddlin' around the corner of the house. We passes by innocent and hangs up in front of a plumbery shop, starin' in at a fascinatin' display of one bathtub and a second-hand hot-water boiler.
But the young and pretty speaker who wore a light silk dress and exquisite bunnet, kep' right on talkin' jest as calmly as if she didn't know her pretty dress wuz bein' spilte and her bunnet gittin' wet as sop, and I sez to Josiah: "When wimmen are so in earnest, and want anything so much they can stand soakin' in their best dresses, and let their Sunday bunnets be spilte on their heads, not noticin' 'em seemin'ly, but keep right on pleadin' for right and justice, they are in a fair way of gittin' what they are after."
Willard Burke had a question to ask, and that night, as they were sitting at their poor little table, he plucked up courage to begin: "Blanche, I want to ask you something that is, I've been kind o' noticin' you " Here he paused, intending to be sly and suggestive. "Seems to me this climate ain't so bad, after all; you complain a good deal, but seems to me you hadn't ought to."
"But I warn't noticin' there was no heat in the stove when I drew up here." Celestina bit her lip. How characteristic the confession was! "Well, there'll be a fire now very soon," said she, bustling out and returning with paper and kindlings. "The kitchen will be warm as toast in no time. An' I'll make you some hot coffee straight away. That will heat you up.
But there ain't nothin' in buyin' 'em drinks. I've bought 'em drinks all night an' then some other hombre'd step in an' " "I'd bet yeh on that, too. I didn't notice her fallin' no hell of a ways fer you." "Mebbe not. I wasn't noticin' her much. I was kind of studyin' the pilgrim that was along with her." "What's he got to do with it?" "That's what I was tryin' to figger out.
She asked me if I hear about his goin' to town the other day an' buyin' a book on how to make your hair grow by pullin' it out as fast as it comes in, an' then gettin' on the train, an' gettin' to readin' on to how to make your eyebrows grow by pullin' them out, too, an' not noticin' that they'd unhooked his car an' left it behind, until it got too dark to read any further "
