M. Pidwall's asked to the you-know-who's next Saturday." "No, she's not!" cried Laura vehemently, and clapped her Bible to. "S'help me God, she is," asserted Maria. "Look out, don't set the place on fire." "How do you know? ... who told you?" "M. P. herself Gosh, but you are a jealous little cub. Oh, go on, Kiddy, don't take it like that. I guess he won't give you away."
But there he sat in terror, like a very young monkey in a wind-rocked tree, hardly daring to breathe, his arms clasped tight round the demijohn; but having Mac to deal with, the end of it was that he always got washed, and equally always he seemed to register a vow that, s'help him, Heaven! it should never happen again. After breakfast came the clearing up.
But no one heard Rags, and the sound of his own voice halted him. He sank back weak and sick upon the top step of the stairs and beat his hands together upon his head. "It's a lie, it's a lie," he whispered, thickly. "I struck him in self-defence, s'help me. I struck him in self-defence. He drove me to it. He pulled his gun on me. I done it in self-defence."
And then he heard some one say: "S'help me God, if it ain't Billy MacVeigh!" He stared up into the face that was looking down at him. It was a white man's face, covered with a scrubby red beard. The beard was new, but the eyes and the voice he would have recognized anywhere. For two years he had messed with Rookie McTabb down at Norway and Nelson House.
'How can I see you, and not love, While you as Opening East are fair? While cold as Northern Blasts you prove, How can I love and not despair? And then, in wonder at his own readiness, 'S'help me! that's uncommon clever of me, he said. 'But when a man is in love with the most beautiful of her sex 'My lord! she cried, stamping the floor in her impatience.
"S'help me, Kettle, you're making a pretty mess of things. You make me knock off in the middle of a message, and they'll not know what's up at the other end if I don't go on. Look at that mirror." "I see the spot of light winking about." "That's the operator at the next station calling me." "But is it true what this gentleman's been telling me?" "I suppose it is, more or less. But what of that?
He glared upon the huddled figure as though he would destroy him with his eyes. "An' if it is I'll swab the floor of hell with a wad of cotton wool on a toothpick, s'help me the good Gawd!" he added, with a violent fling of horror and disgust. It was impossible to silence him. He stood there shouting like one possessed, horrible to see, horrible to hear because it was the truth.
She had been silent since she had entered the boat, and this sudden burst startled me. Her eyes were fixed upon the grim derelict. They shone in the moonlight and she choked convulsively. "Can I hand you some water, ma'm?" asked Jenks. "What made you come with us, you rogue?" she asked, without turning her head. "I was with ye from the start, s'help me," said Jenks.
But Mike was only warming up; the hot blood was stinging his quick brain, and his sharp tongue galloped on with unbridled irresponsibility. With the deep pathos of scorn he continued: "Ye'r Carson the Stharter Mister Carson! S'help me, Bob! ye couldn't sthart a sthreet car down hill wit' bot' brakes off!"
Blix put her fingers in her ears; then: "Condy, you're a nice, amiable young man, and, if you're not brilliant, you're good and kind to your aged mother; but your scarfs and neckties are simply impossible."
