"Well, if you leave it to me," said Sim Gage mildly, "all this here seems kind of sudden. You come in afore I'm up, and tell me to burn my bed, and sleep in a tent, and borry a wagon and team and go to town fer to marry a girl I never seen. That don't look reason'ble to me, especial since I ain't had no hand in it." "It's up to you now." "How do I know whether I want that girl or not?
"Bill," he said, "you're allus tellin' us somethin' 'bout somethin' what we don't know nothin' 'bout, with th' idee of gettin' us t' think you're a pretty wise feller. Now, all this you've bin tellin' us 'bout Injuns sounds reason'ble, but if you want us to really b'lieve it, you've got t' show us. Ain't that so, fellers?" The others, thus appealed to, nodded solemnly.
"I gave you a quarter." "An' it turned out to be on'y a 'spender butt'n. Be reason'ble, Joe." "Where is the letter?" "'Tain't a letter no more. It's on'y ol' fambly papers by this time. Three years is " "Where is it? By thunder, Peggy, if you don't answer me I'll put you in jail for breach of trust!" "Ye've changed, Joe," sadly. "Ye ain't no more like " "Where is it?"
"I'm having a good time just now after years of worry and uncomfortable living in this uncomfortable old hut of a palace," said the poor girl, "so it would be cruel for you to make me the servant of the people again and condemn me to want and misery." "That seems reason'ble," replied Trot thoughtfully. "Rosalie's skin is just as light a pink as my own," continued Tourmaline.
Get down this minute!" "I can't! This stovepipe's loose, I tell you! Be reason'ble, Keziah. Do don't you touch me! I'll fall if you do. Pl-e-ase, Keziah! O Lordy! I knew it. The door opened. On the threshold, arms akimbo and lips set tight, stood Lavinia Pepper. Her brother's knees gave way; in their collapse they struck the chair back; the rickety leg wabbled.
"Dat's a bery deep question, honey, but it kin' a seem reason'ble ter me dat wen you gettin' on well an' wen you doin' good to some po' soul de Lawd'll sen' an angel to tell 'em. Wen dey ain't hearin' notin' I spects dey's got to tink as we does dat no news is good news."
But ef it's so, jest take two thinks 'fore settin' your six foot o' body on a saddle built fer a feller o' five foot one. It ain't reason'ble, an' it's dangerous. It's most like tryin' to do that as isn't, never wus, and ain't like to be, an' if it did, wouldn't amount to a heap anyway, 'cep' it's a heap o' foolishness." Tresler laughed. "All right.
Ten dollars for eatin', jes' so; eleb'n for eatin' an' sleepin'; half a dollar for dinner, jes' so; quarter apiece for breakfast, supper, and bed, is what I call reason'ble bo'd.
"I ain't got nothin' agin him," he began, referring to Ralph, "he's a good enough feller for a slate-picker, for w'at I know; but that's all he is; he ain't a Burnham, no more'n I be, if he was he wouldn't be a-workin' here in the dirt; it ain't reason'ble." Before Ralph could reply, some one took up the cudgel for him. "Yes, he is too, a Burnham.
Sharpman, I never meant to be mean or unkind to Gran'pa Simon. I never knew't he saved my life, never. I thought he abused me, I did; I was sure of it; that's the reason I run away from 'im. But, you see, I'm older now; I'd be more reason'ble; I'll do anything you tell me to, Mr. Sharpman, anything, if you'll only fix it for Gran'pa Simon so's't he can help me get back to my mother."
