But I do not think she ever could love me." He stopped and looked his sister in the face with a sad smile. "I don't know about that," said Virginia to herself. She was noting Rollin's handsome face, his marks of dissipation nearly all gone now, the firm lips showing manhood and courage, the clear eyes looking into hers frankly, the form strong and graceful. Rollin was a man now.
One afternoon me an' her went for a little ride up into the foothills, an' after we'd built our fire, like we allus did, no matter how hot it was, she lay there rollin' cigarettes for me to smoke, like she allus did the little scamp used to get on the lee side o' me so the smoke would blow in her face; but we never mentioned it.
I don't just think, I know He does. Hadn't you never got onto that? Why, you poor little ducky, you! O' course He does." "I'd like to feel sure that He was looking out for me," breathed Betty wistfully. "Well, you can!" said Ma, hurrying back to see that her bacon didn't burn. "It's easy as rollin' off a log." "What would I have to do?" "Why, just b'lieve." "Believe?" asked Betty utterly puzzled.
Words cannot describe the state of mind into which this information threw poor Michel Rollin. He insisted on seizing one of the canoes and setting off at once. As his companions were equally anxious to reach their flooded homes an arrangement was soon come to. Petawanaquat put Tony into the middle of his canoe with Victor, while Ian took the bow paddle.
The smoke was rollin' out o' the church chimney because they was dryin' the plaster, an' I run in there to get my hands warm an' see how the plaster was doin'. An' inside was the three elders, walkin' 'round, layin' a finger on a sash or a post the kind o' odd, knowledgeable way men has with new buildin's.
"So good-by to the mighty ocean, And adoo to the rollin' sea. For it's nobody has no notion Wot a grief it has bin to me." "Ease off the sheets and square the topsail yards," was at that moment said, or rather murmured, by a bass voice so deep and rich that, although scarcely raised above a whisper, it was distinctly heard over the whole deck.
A man may raise 'leven children as easy as rollin' off 'n a log, 'nd yet the twelfth one, that is n't his at all, may break him. There is ginerally a last straw, even when it comes to the matter uv children. So when the colonel riz feet foremost for the third time outern his bunk that night or, I should say, mornin', for it was mighty near mornin' now we looked for hail Columby.
Gil Blas himself came from Cork, and not from Oviedo. I listened to two boys almost in rags: they were lolling over the quay balustrade, and talking about one of the Ptolemys! and talking very well too. One of them had been reading in Rollin, and was detailing his information with a great deal of eloquence and fire.
Still, on the strength of them, Victor and Ian resolved to continue the chase, and Rollin agreed to follow. Thus the summer and autumn passed away. Meanwhile a terrible disaster had befallen the buffalo-hunters of the Red River.
She shyly confessed her great joy in attending "rollin's." Her folks, she said, had not been invited to the last "rollin'," although they lived within fifteen miles of it; and her daddy and mammy had been greatly incensed. But this, fortunately, was a bee where no one waited to be invited, each settler, living far or near, having an equal equity in the work.
