But our party was pretty well seasoned by this time. All of them wore the broad, leather-banded sombreros of the plainsmen except Professor Wintergreen, who had invested himself in a gigantic pith sun-helmet, from beneath which his spectacled countenance peered out, as Ralph said, "Like a toad peeking out from a mushroom."
Hazelden had gone back to headquarters. Captain Donoghue now acted with his usual decisiveness. The Americanskis had slipped out of the bag before the Red string was tied. And in the morning of the 9th of November the good old Vickers guns and Lewis guns were peeking from their old concealed strongholds on the American side of the Emtsa.
I couldn't gather it all in, ye see. I was up on a ladder peeking in through a long hole laid down sideways. But that's the main f'ature av the rumpus. They're countin' big on the Osages becase the Gov'mint trusts 'em to do scout duty down beyont Humboldt, and Jean says the Osages is sure to join 'em. Said it is whispered round at the Mission now. And phwat's to be nixt?"
They look close at this and see the muzzle of a rifle peeking down at 'em; also, they can hear little scramblings and squealings of about a dozen or fourteen kids in the tepee that was likely nestled up round the old murderer like a bunch of young quail.
Somehow she did not want to talk of her marriage and Jack's death with Eleanor Kemp, who had been so near her during the ecstatic inception of that passion. "How pretty your house is!" Eleanor said, divining Milly's reluctance to intimacy. "I've been peeking into the next room while I waited." "Yes, it's pleasant," Milly replied unenthusiastically. "It's small and the street is rather noisy.
Tutt regarded him with the air of a small boy caught peeking through a knot hole. "Why, no!" he protested lamely. "That is nothing in particular. I do feel a bit restless sort of vaguely dissatisfied." Mr. Tutt nodded sympathetically. "How old are you, Tutt?" "Forty-eight." "And you feel just at present as if life were 'flat, stale and unprofitable?" "Why yes; you might put it that way.
At that moment Juliet, who had been peeking out from behind the house, came skipping down the path to the road. As she drew near, her progress became slower; finally she stood still, and balanced herself on one leg, like a stork. "Hello," she said. Then she looked up and down the road, to see what there was to talk about. "I have a little house Mr. Jeminy made me out of boxes," she said at last.
Gwendolyn, peeking round at her, of a sudden felt a fresh concern. The Bird! the same Bird that had repeated tales against her father! And now he was tattling on her! She saw all her hopes of finding her parents, all her happy plans, in danger of being blighted. "Oh, my goodness!" she said mournfully. She was holding tight to the little old gentleman's coat-tails. Now he leaned down.
She huddled in a corner of the big undressing-room where the nymphs prepared for their task. The young rowdies kept peeking over her shoulder and snatching at her letter, but when finally she read it aloud to them as a punishment and a triumph, they were stricken with awe. It ran thus: Pretty maid, pretty maid, may I call you "Anita"? Your last name is sweet, but your first name is sweeter.
He now felt entirely justified in listening, although he had a good code of honor. He considered himself in a way responsible, knowing what he knew, for the peace of mind of his parents. Therefore he listened, peeking around the doorway of his dark room. The electric light flashed out from Content's room, and the little interior was revealed. It was charmingly pretty.
