Man alive, he's had th' pick o' every pork packer's an' brewer's daughter; but he's waitin' th' little lady who's his aunt t' come back from Prince Albert " He knew the minute he had spoken that he had struck a false note. Eleanor jumped from her chair. "Oh, bother the little lady at Prince Albert. Leave me, please! I want to think " He withdrew as far as the door.
"Packer's chariot lies dashed in pieces in the valley, and his best horse is badly hurt." "He will see to him when he has taken the physician to the house of the paraschites," said the princess. "He would not have welcomed us kindly!" said the master of the ceremonies, laughing. "But the leech, the leech!" cried Bent-Anat. "Packer, it is settled then.
The faster I pack the more it shows up Tessie's slowness. If Ida scolded Tessie it would break my heart. The thought of the man who owns that factory, and his orders and his profits and his obligations, never enter my or any other packer's head. I will not pack so many boxes that Tessie gets left too far behind. Then a strange thing happens.
They were taught such practical things as to take care of themselves in the mountains, find a trail, or go to a given spot without a trail, fish, hunt, make camp, build fires in a rain-storm, find proper shelter during a lightning-storm, carry a pack, pack a mule or burro, even to the throwing of the "diamond hitch," the "squaw hitch," and the "square" or other packer's especial "knots" and "ties". They were induced to climb mountains, row, swim, "ski", and snow-slide, and all were taught to recognize at sight the common birds, smaller wild animals, trees, and flowers.
It was insane to sacrifice four sound men for one, badly hurt, with not many hours perhaps to suffer." A murmur from the mother announced her appreciation of the packer's argument. "It was no more than a man should do; but as to taking him at his word, why, that's another question." The colonel paused and gustily cleared his throat.
They would have you believe that it represents the height of the packer's art; and once having mastered it, they use it religiously for every weight, shape, and size of pack. The truth of the matter is that the style of hitch should be varied according to the use to which it is to be put.
John Packer's hands were both plunged deep into his side pockets, and the contractor did not fail to see that he was moving his fingers nervously. "You don't want 'em blowin' down, breakin' all to pieces right on to your grass-land. They'd spile pretty near an acre fallin' in some o' them spring gales. Them old trees is awful brittle.
This ain't the time to explain things. All that will come later. My name is Jonas Packer, an' I'm the man what blowed that horn this morning when I seen you chaps down on the creek." In view of Mr. Packer's evident anxiety to get out of the cavern as soon as possible the boys repressed their desire to ask more questions.
"I think I was almost going to ask her to marry me, to-morrow," he said, turning to Talbot Potter. "But I'm glad Packer's the man. For years he's been a kind of nurse for you, Mr. Potter. And that's what she needs a nurse because she's a genius, too. And it will all be wasted if she doesn't get her chance!" "Are you asking me to take her back?" Potter cried fiercely.
The dance was set for Christmas night at Walling's, a horse-ranch where there were women, situated in a high, watered valley shut in by foothills, sixteen miles from the nearest town. The cabin with its roof of shakes, the sheds and corrals, can be seen from any divide between Packer's ferry and the Fayette. The "boys" had been generally invited, with one exception to the usual company.
