"Nay, my boy," said Washington, coming to the bedside and laying his hand kindly on Jack's shoulder; "there is naught to be done, and you are well out of it. Give the wound its chance to heal." Brereton gave a flounce. "Do, in the name of mercy, Billy, get me a glass of water," he begged querulously. Then, after the black had departed, he asked: "What has Congress done?"
Policeman, if I don't stop, me 'avin' a lot of work to do, as Susan's gone and Geraldine with 'er, not to speak of my 'usbin' that is to be, he havin' gone to see Mrs. Herne, drat her!" "Why has he gone to see Mrs. Herne?" asked Jennings quickly. "Arsk me another," said the cook querulously, "he's a secret one is Thomas Barnes, whatever you may say.
"But who's going to tell her?" Selwyn's voice was querulously eager. "I thought perhaps you might find find " "I did." I nodded in his flushed face. "I don't think it will be necessary to tell her anything. She's very much in love, but not with Harrie." Selwyn sat upright. A certain rigidity of which he is capable stiffened him. He looked much, but said nothing.
Who do you think'd be postman from Selby here? It must have cost him ten dollars to send the last letter." "Then what's the matter? I don't understand," the old man urged querulously. He did not want her to marry and leave him, but he wanted no more troubles; he did not relish being asked awkward questions by every mountaineer he met, as to why Jenny Long didn't marry Jake Lawson.
Lyddon, unnerved and restless, rambled aimlessly into the open air, addressed any man or woman who passed from the adjacent cottages, and querulously announced, to the astonishment of chance listeners, that his daughter's match was broken off. An hour later Phoebe reappeared in the kitchen and occupied her usual place at the supper-table.
Always somebody wanted to be seen, when we have dead folks to get rid of," mutters the old man, querulously, then looking inquiringly at the visitors. Tom says they would like to go over the premises. "Yes know you would. Ain't so dull but I can see what folks want when they look in here."
"I warned him about the grade he was givin' them sluice-boxes I went to him first off, didn't I?" Yankee Sam looked around for confirmation. "Do you mind I said at the time he wasn't warshin' that dirt fast enough?" "Anyhow," declared the Judge querulously, "he ought to 'a piped it off. T'were a hydraulickin' proposition. He could handle it just twice as fast at half the cost.
"I wanted to tell you," said Neil gravely, "that your diagnosis was correct, after all." "Hey?" asked the little man querulously. "Yes, it was a cold-chisel that did it," said Neil. "You remember you said it was." "Cold-chisel? Say, what you talkin' " Then a light of recognition sprang into his weazened features. "You're the feller that owes me a quarter!" he cried shrilly, scrambling to his feet.
"It wasn't my fault," said Fillmore querulously. "It was just my poisonous luck. A man I knew got me to join a syndicate which had bought up a lot of whisky. The idea was to ship it into Chicago in herring-barrels. We should have cleaned up big, only a mutt of a detective took it into his darned head to go fooling about with a crowbar. Officious ass!
"Who's there?" the voice repeated, querulously to add: "What black hell be this? Where am I?" And now he recognized the voice for Jasper Leigh's, and marvelled how that latest of his recruits to the ranks of Mohammed should be sharing this prison with him. "Faith," said he, "you're in the forecastle of the Silver Heron; though how you come here is more than I can answer."
