For when B cut it open, there, right inside it, were nine steel trouser- buttons, a Waterbury watch, and the poor young fellow's keys. For you see, instead of his digesting his dinner with that paw-paw, the paw-paw took charge and digested him, dinner and all, and when B interrupted it, it was just getting a grip on the steel things.
The two men had their meals together, but the Chinese cook told him that Walker had set out on horseback at five and would not be back for another hour. Mackintosh had slept badly and he looked with distaste at the paw-paw and the eggs and bacon which were set before him.
The drizzle of the rain helped curtain them; they pushed the canoe through the top of a paw-paw thicket that rose but a little way above the flood, Shorty sprang out, and in a few steps came up behind the two pickets, who were crouching over a little fire they had built behind the cover of some dense weeds.
Then we would persuade them to ladle out a little of the boiling sap into plates that we patted out of the snow, which could always be found lingering in the hollows, at sugar-makings. When it was still waxy and warm, we rolled up the cooled syrup and ate it out of hand. "In summer whole families would go to the bottom lands paw-paw gathering. Winter nights there was story-telling in the huts.
There's an awful lot of pepsine in a paw-paw, and if you hang, etc., etc." I collapsed, feebly murmuring that it was very interesting, but sad for the poor young fellow's friends. "Not necessarily," said the old coaster. So he had the last word, and never again will I attempt to alter the ways of the genuine old coaster.
The woods of Indiana ran to moss, and sometimes descended to bogginess, and broad-leaved paw-paw bushes crowded the shade; mighty sycamores blotched with white, leaned over the streams: there was a dreamy influence in the June air, and pale blue curtains of mist hung over distances. But at Richmond aunt Corinne and her nephew, both felt particularly wide awake.
B , just before breakfast, went to his room and he wasn't there, but he noticed the paw-paw was on the bed and that was all, so he thought the book- keeper must have gone for a walk, being, as it were, a bit too tender to have gone on the fly as yet.
One night there was a big paw-paw on the table for evening chop, and so B , who was an awfully good chap, told him about how good it was for the digestion. The book-keeper said his trouble always came on two hours after eating, and asked if he might take a bit of the thing to his room.
On either side grew oleander, acacia, laurel, paw-paw, and many flowering shrubs; while in the distance, against the sky, I could see a tall tree scathed by lightning, and leafless. In vain I looked out for a fire, to indicate the camp of my companions, when suddenly Caesar, starting forward, gave a loud bark.
The discharge of the guns made Bob Holliday so hungry for pigeon pot-pie, that he, too, ran away from school, at recess, and took his place among the pigeon-slayers in the paw-paw patch on the hill top. Tuesday morning, Mr. Ball came in with darkened brows, and three extra switches. Riley, Berry, and Holliday were called up as soon as school began.
