Then I thinks: "No, it's between them three." Besides, I want to see which one is going to get that there loaded pill. I always been intrusted in games of chancet of all kinds, and when I seen the perfessor was such a sport, I'm sorry I been misjudging him all this time. Jane, she looks at the box, and she breathes hard and quick. "I won't touch 'em," she says.
I wondered what Andrew was eating and whether he had found the nest behind the wood pile where the red hen always drops her eggs. "Well, well," said Mr. Pratt, "tell us about the Perfessor. We was expectin' him here some time this fall. He generally gets here around cider time." "I guess there isn't so much to tell," I said.
A voice replied from the other side of the car, where Rowena was sitting on the running board. I discovered her, chin in hand, looking out into the dark. "I was afraid some perfessor had got her," explained Maw to me. "Come on out, Roweny, and set by the fire. This gentleman seems sort of nice, and he's old."
I bought the outfit from Mr. Mifflin. A business proposition entirely." "Well, well," said Mr. Pratt. "We're glad to see any friend of the Perfessor. Sorry he's not here, too. Come right in and have a bite with us." They were certainly good-hearted folk, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Pratt. He put Peg and Bock away in the barn and gave them their supper, while Mrs.
She'd went off somewheres before noon, and didn't show up no more. He didn't think she was lost, till Morton told him she hadn't showed up to take no train. That's when the perfessor got scared and phoned in." The driver grunted again, and called upon his leaders to shake a leg they'd have walking enough and plenty when they hit the hill, he said.
Well, we put him to bed, too, and then the Missus keeled over, an' we put her to bed. Three of them, by time the Doc got here. Great old summer afternoon that was! But bless your heart, we couldn't keep the Perfessor abed long. Next day he was out lookin' fer his poetry books, an' first thing you know he had us all rounded up an' was preachin' good literature at us like any evangelist.
"But you've lost all them vallyable things, Perfessor," said Handy Solomon. "Now, I call that hard luck." Dr. Schermerhorn snapped his fingers. "They do not amoundt to that!" he cried. "Here, here, in this leetle box iss all the treasure! Here iss the labour of ten years! Here iss the Laughing Lass, and the crew, and all the equipmendt comprised. Here iss the world!"
"Perfessor!" said Dan, "I want you to hev a look at me." The Professor looked at him. "My young friend," he said genially, "you're worth looking at. Do you drink water?" "When I can't git nothing else," replied Dan. "Water it is, and lots of it, except when I strike town." "If you must drink water," said the Professor with authority, "have it distilled." "Jeeroosalem!" exclaimed Dan.
It's his place to make some kind of a strong action now to show Jane he is a great man. But he don't do it. And Jane is too much of a thoroughbred to show him she expects it. And me, I'm getting the fidgets and wondering to myself, "What is that there perfessor up to now? Whatever it is, it ain't like no one else. He is looney, that perfessor is. And she is kind o' looney, too.
"Hold fast!" were the last words Jack cried to his companion. His voice sounded faint above the din. "Where are you, Jack?" he heard Mark shout in reply. Then all became dark, and the boys lost their senses as they were hurled into the splintered mass of wreckage. "For de land sakes, Perfessor, hurry up!
