There was the Major, apparently bleedin' profusely, yet not carin' a great deal, seemin' more concerned in rockin' bac'ard and forrard and sneezin'. His manner seemed to say, 'So long as you don't interfere with the innocent pleasures of a sneeze I don't care what breaks. There was Hadds rubbin' his head: there was me with my mouth open; and there was the Majoress, leanin' over the counter and smilin' a dark, mysterious smile.
Have you been tumblin' into the fire? 'I don't know, he sez; 'but the funny thing is there's no mark of burnin' as I can see. 'Why, I sez, 'it must be the rheumatiz in yer knuckles. I'll get a drop o' turpentine, and rub 'em, So I gets the turpentine, and begins rubbin' his hand, and his arm as well.
Also I'm strong for you and Mr. Ellins. I expect you know that, Mr. Robert. Maybe I ain't got it in me to be anything but an office boy, either; but when it comes to goin' on exhibition before certain parties as the double cipher on the east side of the decimal well, that's where I make my foolish play." "Ah!" says he, rubbin' his chin thoughtful. "Now I fully understand.
Ma certes! after it ye shuld ha' seen him laughin' like a feckless fule, an' rubbin' an' rubbin' his heed, till his hair was like the straw kicked roond by a mad coo!" Lorimer lay back in the stern of the boat and laughed uproariously at this extraordinary picture, as did the others.
I couldn't get it out of my head that one man had already taken me for a child's playmate, an' while I knew that this particular man had other views by this time, I didn't know how long it would be before some one else would find that same idea gettin' too big to keep under his breath; so the very second that spring opened I hunted up Jabez one mornin' after I had given old Pluto a special good rubbin', an' after talkin' a while about nothin' at all, I sez to him, "Jabez, I'm goin' to pull out purty soon."
"Humph!" grunted the depot master. "If I remember right you said YOU wa'n't any ten-cent side show under similar circumstances, Barzilla. Heave ahead, Bailey!" Captain Stitt, unruffled, resumed: "I tell you, I had to take it that evenin'," he said. "All the time I was cookin' and while he was eatin' supper, Billings was rubbin' it into me about my bein' scared.
And, by way of rubbin' it in, they come along back pretty soon and rolled alongside of him easy, while Henrietta gushed about Mr. Loveland's beautiful car and how nice it was to be able to go just as swift as you wanted to. Jonadab couldn't answer back, nuther, bein' too busy keepin' the Queen from turnin' herself into a flyin' machine.
"Ah-h-h!" says J. Bayard, rubbin' his hands genial, and at the same time watchin' me narrow to see how I'm goin' to take it. "Rather difficult, eh? I confess that I was almost stumped at first. Why, he's worth to-day twice as much as Gordon ever was! So it ought to be something handsome, hadn't it?" "That depends," says I. "Have anything special in mind, did you?" "Oh, yes," says Steele.
And I sez, rubbin' my cold hands and pullin' my heavy woolen shawl closter round me, "It would be a little different than it is now if it wuz still, or if it wuz warm." And agin I shivered in the frigid air and sez: "You guaranteed we wouldn't be torn up here over three days, and it wuz four weeks yesterday." "That is because I have took such extra precautions to have it perfectly noiseless.
When I see him last, he was settin' on the pavement, sir, rubbin' his 'ead." In spite of his inclination to laugh, Will kept a grave countenance. "I'm afraid that kind of thing won't do, Allchin. You'll be in serious trouble one of these days." "That's what my wife says, sir. I know well enough as it's hard on her, just after we've lost the baby as perhaps Mrs. Hopper'll have told you, sir."
