The Prince and Princess clamoured for the promised game at once, and soon the flicker from the flaming bow lighted up the darkened nursery as, around the witch-like caldron, they watched their opportunity to snatch the lucky raisin.
"I'm raisin' yuh five hundred, 'Cotton-picker," sneered the bearded man insolently. He had a pair of aces in sight a formidable hand and if his hole card was also an ace, Kid Wolf had not a chance in the world. The best the Texan could show up was a pair of treys.
She would tell her father all about it when he came home at night and what a laugh they would have! There was still a good fire in the stove, and in the pantry Prissy found the dinner in its raw state a fine roast of fresh pork, potatoes, cabbage, turnips and the ingredients of a raisin pudding, for Richard Baker was fond of raisin puddings, and could make them as well as Mrs.
One night my three thorough-bred stallions had their throats cut, an' then next time I went to town he came in when I was eatin' my supper, grinnin' as usual, an' asked me if I thought raisin' hosses would pay. "I knew what his game was an' tried my best to hold in, but I couldn't help tellin' him that I didn't suppose it would pay quite so well as hirin' out to murder hosses would.
"Dere's a heap of suffin in de middle ob de flo', an' dat's what's raisin' all de rumpus." They all saw it a moment later, a smoldering heap of rags and paper on the concrete floor of the shop. Eradicate turned his hose on it, there was a hissing sound, a cloud of steam arose, and the fire was practically out, though much smoke remained.
But it proved to be a tight-breasted, close-fittin' coat to several of the male brothers, and it fitted 'em so well it fairly pinched 'em. But there it wuz, Deacon Bobbet wouldn't gi'n a cent towards raisin' the money. And there wuz them that said, and stuck to it, that he said "he wouldn't give a darn cent." But I don't know as that is so.
Jackson sat down before a savory roast, leaving Mr. Becker on deck to watch, the steward imparted the additional information that the men forward expected to eat in the cabin. "Hang it!" he mused; "they can't be sailor-men." Then Mr. Becker reached his head down the skylight, and said: "Raisin' the devil with the cook, sir dragged him out o' the galley into the forecastle." "Are they coming aft?"
"Gee, I got soaked in that rain," said the newcomer. "Stopped at th' Cut on my way back from th' Junction. Th' railroad hands got paid, to-day, an' they're raisin' cain. Wisht I'd stayed there, 'stead o' gettin' soaked." "I wish you had, too," Bill Jordan murmured to himself, unheard by the other.
The peas were all in the bottom of the kettle. Those left would be taken to New York and, I suppose, sold. "One day in the week, called pudding day, we would receive three pounds of damaged flour, in it would be green lumps such as their men would not eat, and one pound of very bad raisins, one third raisin sticks.
He finally did fer the Shawnee, an' almost put Jim out. My brother oughtn't to give rein to personal revenge at a time like this." Girty's face did not change, but his tone was one of annoyance. "Jim said he'd be here to-day, didn't he?" "To-day is as long as we allowed to wait." "He'll come. Where's Jake and Mac?" "They're here somewhere, drinkin' like fish, an' raisin' hell."
