"Arrow?" "Sure. Missed ye when ye took that flop, and stuck in the tree over yonder. What'd ye rush the guy for, anyways? Whyn't ye drill him from where ye was?" In the reaction from his sudden fright Tim was as wrathfully ready to "bawl out" his captain as if he were some raw rookie.
She reminds you of things, pictures, and music, and dead queens isn't there a verse about 'queens that died young and fair'? and O heavens, Rookie! I can't say it but all the old hungers and happinesses, the whole business." "I wonder," said Raven impetuously, "if you think she's got any mind at all. Or whether it's nothing but line and color?" Nan shook her head.
"Then," said Nan triumphantly, "you mean she's right about teas and dinners and women's clubs and old portraits and genealogy and believing our family tree was the tree of life. That's what you mean, isn't it, Rookie?" Raven looked at her, an unhappy smile dawning. He was moderately sure, in his unspoken certainties, that this was what he did mean.
The Gorilla was shocked and pained! The tippy pink-and-white blasted rookie was "all over him" and he was sent staggering with such a rain of smashing blows as he had never, never felt, nor seen others receive. The Queen's Greys howled like fiends and Hawker, unknown to himself, punched the boards before him with terrific violence. Never had anything like it been seen.
What d'he say, Rookie? What d'you say to him?" Raven shook his head. He had no idea of inviting her into the psycho-analytic ward of Dick's mind. "Nan," he said, "the boy's unhappy. He's in love with you. No doubt about it." Nan, on her part, had nothing to say to this. "What made you change your dress?" asked Raven.
As for your bell-cord, it was knotted; it caught in that ring. I saw that someone was tugging and trying to get it loose, so I swung up there and straightened it. Just what you'd have done under the circumstances, I fancy." The brakeman turned redder under the ruddy brown of his sun-tanned skin. This was no raw "rookie" after all.
His god must be an idol: burnt offerings, that sort of thing. Perhaps that's what he's doing it all for: offering her up, as a kind of sacrifice. His wife, I mean. What's her name, Rookie?" "Thyatira," said Raven, and got up, his mind suddenly dense to the comfortable picture of Nan and her dinner, and went home. The next few days went by, all alike cloudless and uneventful within the house.
I wouldn't have those candlesticks moved by half an inch for fear the shadows would get mad and go with them. Sit down, Rookie, there where you used to read to me. I'll light up, so we can see each other." He did sit down without waiting for her, on the little squat, old-fashioned sofa, and Nan went about the room with her match and dotted it with candles.
And with a mystery woman like that, wouldn't the man be forever wondering what's behind that smile of hers? Tenney wonders. It isn't that flashy fellow at the prayer-meeting that makes him wonder. It's the woman herself. Yet she's simplicity itself she's truth but no, Nan, you don't know jealousy." "Don't I?" said Nan, unperturbed. "You're mighty clever, aren't you, Rookie?
Even as it was, letters were published in home papers that showed our regiment to have been four times annihilated while we were in training! The only shots these fellows heard all day were the popping of the corks in the wet canteen! And then, of course, we route-marched in the desert, please remember; a very different thing, Mr. Rookie, to the same thing on made roads!
