"I t'ink one week, ten day," he vouchsafed. "P'rhaps she go down den. We mus' wait." We did not want to wait; the idleness of a permanent camp is the most deadly in the world. "Billy," said I, "have you ever been above the Big Falls?" The half-breed's eyes flashed. "Non," he replied simply. "Ba, I lak' mak' heem firs' rate." "All right, Billy; we'll do it."
"P'rhaps they are coum out to play, but see you, when there is trouble in the nest it is my notion that wasps come out to sting. Look at France now, they all fight each other there, ma fuifre! When folks begin to slap faces at home, look out when they get into the street. That is when the devil have a grand fete." Guida's face grew paler as he spoke.
The old man had on his best blue cut-away coat, and paused now and then to wipe his brow. "I take this as very friendly," said John. Captain Tangye grunted. "P'rhaps 'tis, p'rhaps 'tisn'. Better wait a bit afore you say it." "Stay and have a bit of dinner with me and the missus." "Dashed if I do! 'Tis about her I came to tell 'ee." "Yes?" John, being puzzled, smiled in a meaningless way.
As they were hitching up the team Ike found opportunity to whisper to Shock: "I say, p'rhaps you'd rather he'd go with you; he'd help you more, p'rhaps?" "No, no, Ike; don't leave me; I want you," Shock had replied. "All right, boss; that suits me," was Ike's answer, glad that his offer had not been accepted. "Good-bye," said Mr. McIntyre, waving his hand. "Do not spare them, Ike," he continued.
"Quite so," agreed Leslie. "Now, no doubt he will go ashore again soon after daylight; and as I shall not come off to the ship he will be compelled to come ashore in his own boat. How many men will he be likely to bring with him, think you?" "Not more'n two, sir, certingly," answered the steward; "and p'rhaps not any at all.
Th' rest raymained an' see th' two gr-reat fortunes get into their carredge, pursued be th' guests to th' amount iv five hundherd millyions, peltin' thim with seed pearls." "Sure," said Mr. Hennessy, "mebbe 'twasn't as bad as th' pa-apers let on. Ye can't always thrust thim." "P'rhaps not," said Mr. Dooley.
Dudley was about to speak, when Polly interposed with the first lines of "The Secret," a little song she had learned in her last days of school. Her voice was loud enough to catch the boy's attention, but the words were sung slowly and confidentially. "What do you think is in our back yard? P'rhaps you can guess, if you try real hard.
This excess of feeling finally drowned and swept away as a corpse the memory of the gospel of influence. "I can't remember no more," she said stolidly. "There was ever such a lot about about some one as was good and didn't want to be good any more, and so it was driven away I don't know. P'rhaps he was only gamin' me." She stared moodily at her feet, which she had stuck out from under her dress.
"No," said she, scornfully. "I wouldn't carry round such a great wallet as that. Most likely he's stolen it from somebody else." "What a prime detective you'd be!" said Dick. "P'rhaps you know who I took it from." "I don't know but my money's in it," said the lady, sharply. "Conductor, will you open that wallet, and see what there is in it?"
But it don't signify nothin'; you can't cram all into one, and we hante only broke the crust yet, and p'rhaps it's as well to look afore you leap too, or you might make as big a fool of yourself, as some of the Britishers have a-writin' about us and the provinces. Oh yes, it's a great advantage havin' minister with you.
