Ye'd see him, in the gloamin', roamin' wi' this yin and that one. They'd talk aboot him, and admire him. Jamie he was reserved and bashfu', and the lassies were wont to laugh at him. They thocht he was afraid of them; whiles they thocht he had nae use for them, whatever, and was a woman hater. It was nae so; it was just that Jamie was waiting.
It wuz as if the Queen of the Flowery Kingdom had come with the rest of the kings and princesses of the earth to the Columbus World's Fair. Had changed her plans to come with the rest of the royal family. It wuz a sight. Wall, after roamin' there the best part of two hours, I said to my companion, "Less go and see the Wooded Island." And he said with a deep sithe, "I am ready, and more than ready.
He was ashamed, and he remembered that he had been afraid, for he had thought the man was some "roamin' harnt." "I dunno," said Ike sulkily, "ez ye hev got enny call ter pounce so suddint out'n the fog, an' go ter noddin' that cur'ous way ter folks ez can't half see ye."
I hated to be in the same room with him he wa'n't canny, that was all there was to it. You keep away from that grave you don't want to look odder than ye are by nature. And when ye git married, ye'll have to give up roamin' about half the night in graveyards. A wife wouldn't put up with it, as I've done."
"Besides," says I, hurryin' the words to get 'em all out before any violent scene breaks loose, "knowin' all he does about them Mutt & Mudd checks, and with what he don't know about the case, it wouldn't be hardly safe to have him roamin' the streets, would it? Now I leave it to you."
"Me truly it is, in fault of a better, for I ain't one to stand by and give the devil his licence roamin'! and the salt sure enough have spilte my bride-gown at the beginnin', which ain't the best sign. Bless ye! Oh, here he is." She beheld a male figure in a chair by the half light, and swung around to address him.
Supposin' we get the three o' them shut up the others, when they come, will have nobody to guide them. Of course some time or other the three will break out, but it may be ower late for them. At present we're besieged and they're roamin' the country. Would it no' be far better if they were the ones lockit up and we were goin' loose?" "Supposing they don't come in one at a time?" Dickson objected.
Berry!" said Lucy, running up to her and kissing her. "Me, my darlin'!" Mrs. Berry, breathless and rosy with her journey, returned the salute. "Me truly it is, in fault of a better, for I ain't one to stand by and give the devil his licence roamin'! and the salt sure enough have spilte my bride-gown at the beginnin', which ain't the best sign. Bless ye! Oh, here he is."
Calumet looked up sardonically, not at Dade, but at Betty. "Was you all asleep?" he inquired in a voice of cold mockery. Even at that distance he saw Betty redden, and he laughed shortly. "A foxy snake," he said; "one of them kind which goes roamin' around at night. Lookin' for a mate, mebbe." He turned abruptly, with a last sneering look at Betty, and made his way around the house.
"But don't you fret. I'll come roamin' back hereaways some o' these days when you've done married you a prince." "Don't want to marry a prince!" screamed Marian. "Don't want to marry no one but you-ou! You got to stay!" "When I come back I sure will stay a whole lot, sweetheart.
