Furthermore, Squire, the fact that you're gettin' out yourself and proposin' to put your grandson in gives 'em their chance to say a lot. Next place, this is goin' to be a caucus. It ain't any imitation. They're goin' to use a marked check-list." "What?" roared the Honorable Thelismer, jarred out of his baleful calm. "Yes, sir! They've pulled the town clerk into camp and have had him mark a list.
"But" Cai stared at him in bewilderment "who was proposin' any such thing? As skipper I thought o' you what elst? Leastways " "And you?" "Me? . . . But why? There's no call for me goin' to sea again." "Ah, to be sure," said 'Bias bitterly, "I was forgettin'. You'll stay ashore and make up your losses by marryin'!" "But I haven't had any losses!" stammered Cai.
Mark Hanna rings f'r his sicrety an', says he: 'Have ye got off th' letther fr'm George Fred Willums advisin' Aggynaldoo to pizen th' wells? 'Yes sir. 'An' th' secret communication fr'm Bryan found on an arnychist at Pattherson askin' him to blow up th' White House? 'It's in th' hands iv th' tyepwriter. 'Thin call up an employmint agency an' have a dillygation iv Jesuites dhrop in at Lincoln, with a message fr'm th' pope proposin' to bur-rn all Protestant churches th' night befure iliction."
There's no jarrin' Crosby loose from his idea, though, and he's just proposin' that I meet him there at twelve-thirty next day when Vee drifts out and I has to break away. "I'll let you know if I can," says I as I walks off. Course, Vee wants to know who my friend is and all about it, and when I've sketched out the plot of the piece she's quite thrilled. "How interesting!" says she.
"No, Hepsey; you aren't no shy young thing, and you haven't been for nigh on forty years. I wouldn't be proposin' to you if you were." "Jonathan, your manners need mendin' a whole lot. The idea of insinuatin' that I am not a shy young thing. I'm ashamed of you, and I'm positive we could never get along together." "But I can't tell a lie about you, even if I do want to marry you.
"Well; I only had an idea o' proposin' that you and me just took a look around that holler whar you thought you saw suthin'!" said Collinson tentatively. "Nonsense," said Key hurriedly. "We really saw nothing it was all a fancy; and Uncle Dick was joking me because I said I thought I saw a woman's face," he added with a forced laugh. Collinson glanced at him, half sadly. "Oh!
I'm doin' my duty by you, and I expect for that raison, an' as obedient childre' which I've ever found you that you'll do your duty by me, an' give no further opposition to what I'm proposin' for your sakes. I know you're all loath an' you will be loath to lave this place; but do you think? do you? 'that I I oh, my God! do you think, I say, that I'll feel nothing when we go?
"What you imparts is scarce encouragin. If this yere Rainey ain't no improvement onto you, I absolootely weakens on him an' turns aside from all relations of his proposin'. I'm in mighty bad report as the game stands, an' I tharfore insists ag'in on payin' for my own war medicine, as bein' a move necessary to protect my attitoodes before the public."
'It was their ain damnation, my companion whispered in my ear; 'he was proposin' the murder o' the Saints o' God juist the "sin against the Holy Ghaist" that was his fearsome health. I had climbed into my saddle, and at that moment an unseen plover wailed through the mist. 'Hark! cried my companion, lifting a finger. 'Hark to his soul i' torment!
"Are you sure you are no' proposin' this just because o' the trouble? I don't want peety! I am pairtly to blame too," this with a softer note creeping into her voice, and making it more resigned. "If it's no' oot o' peety for me, I could bear it better. But I'll no' hae peety. I can look after mysel' an' face the whole thing, even though I ken it'll break my mither's heart."
