It ran like wildfire upstairs and down in the Whitford establishment. Naturally Johnnie, who was neither one of the servants nor a member of the family, was the last to hear of it. One day the word was carried to him, and a few hours later he read the confirmation of it on the hand of his young mistress. The Runt had the clairvoyance of love.
You've all along been too free of your reputation, and now I'm going to take care of it for you. I won't have you nursin' this runt any longer!" She perceived now the full measure of his base rage, and her face grew pale and set. "You're making a perfect fool of yourself, Cliff," she said, with portentous calmness. "Am I?" he asked. "You sure are, and you'll see it yourself by and by.
Because if the boys and girls don't improve upon the older folks, how is this world t' git better, t' advance?" As he spoke, his look went swiftly round the room. Barber laughed. "Well, I can tell y' one thing about him," he said. "He won't never make a longshoreman the little runt!"
We have some earnest men yes, I believe, plenty of them; but they're not given a fair show. It'll all come right, though, I believe. Men with hearts in them; and Rosy, let me tell you, is no runt in that litter.
"Durned little runt," he says. "He cut me down two hundred dollars on that reward, plump! And he'd gi'n me his word! Why, you heard him! He ought to be ashamed. I told him so. I says, 'You're no lady. Nor he ain't. Nor sporty, either. Squeals and wriggles." "Paid you the reward, did he?" "Why, of course, he couldn't miss his politics. It took him sudden, though.
'It natchelly stands to reason that a big scaffolded-up man like Stony Bugg can chamber more licker than a little runt like that Burnett. Why, he could do it if Burnett was spangled all over with Adamses' apples and all of them palpitating like skeered lizards. He could do it if Burnett's eyes were so fur apart he was cross-eyed behind.
He would not shrink from murder, I believe; and little Lord Bullingdon, drawing his sword the sword I had given him, the rascal! declared he would kill with it the man who had hurt Cousin George. On Mr. Runt telling him that I was the donor of the weapon, the little rogue still vowed that he would kill me all the same! Indeed, in spite of my kindness to him, that boy always seemed to detest me.
The cob labored to the crest and pondered his defeat. A half-mile down the unkempt old toll road, where the goldenrod dropped stately bows to the purple aster, and Bouncing Bet viewed their livelong philandering with scorn, was the impertinent runt walking! Down thundered the cob. No evasion now.
"Runt" Pickett attended the fire, passing up the heated irons, and dodging the cold branding-steel. A single iron was often good for several animals, and sometimes a chuteful was branded with two irons. It was necessary that the work should be well done; not that a five months' trip required it, but the unforeseen must be guarded against.
"Does he want you to get the 'makings, Jim!" called Tom. "Yes; but I won't do it," the guide retorted. "Please do," asked Tom. "What? You ask me to do it, sir? Then all right. I will." "What do you want to do that for?" murmured Harry. "Let the poor little runt have his 'makings, if he wants," Tom proposed. "But I don't believe that Alf will smoke the little white pests very much longer."
