"I ain't s'prised none ef we hev fallin' weather agin 'fore day, an' the man by name Morgan Holden that hev charge o' the hotel property can't git back fur a week an' better." A vague wonder to find himself so suspicious flitted through his mind, with the thought that perhaps the colonel might have reckoned on this delay.
"Isn't you?" innocently. "Why, Tom Tot, I was thinkin' " "No, zur!" Tom answered with heat. "I isn't!" "Well, you wouldn't " "I will!" "So be," said the skipper, with a sigh of infinite satisfaction. He's mixed up in 'most all that goes on, an' I'd not be s'prised if He had a finger in this.
Andy took it in slowly. "How much?" he asked at last. "Six-seven thousand," said Uncle William. "What!" Andy's feet scuffed a little. "'T ain't reasonable," he said feebly. "No, 't ain't reasonable." Uncle William spoke gently. "I was a good deal s'prised myself, Andy, when I found how high they come picters. Ye can't own a gre't many of 'em not at one time."
But his sense of injury engendered a desire of reprisal, and he impulsively carried the war into the enemy's country. "I ain't in no ways s'prised ter view you-uns hyar, Lee-yander," he said.
You may be s'prised at me fer havin' 'em in here, 'long with the orthodox churches; but if the sun an' the rain don't make no distinction, I don't see what right I got to put 'em on the other side of the fence. These first is sweet-william, as rich in bloom as the Unitarian is in good works, a-sowin' theyselves constant, an' every little plant a- puttin' out a flower."
"Well," said Jim, "I hain't got many, but I sh'd be s'prised if there wasn't a brimstone mine on t'other side, with a couple o' picks in it for old Belcher an' the man as helps 'im." The laugh was on Mr. Cavendish. The Court smiled, the audience roared, and order was demanded. "That will do," said Mr. Cavendish. "The religious views of the witness are definite and satisfactory."
"No, they wouldn't do that," Teddy decided, after thinking it over awhile. "They'd be afraid to stay so near Uncle Frank's ranch. Anyhow the cave isn't big enough." "It was big enough for Clipclap." "Yes, but he's a little pony. Anyhow, we'll look in the cave and then we'll ride on along the trail until we catch up to daddy and Uncle Frank." "What'll they say?" "I guess they'll be s'prised."
The Princess swooned on the spot, and the Scarecrow, taking advantage of her unconscious condition, ordered her chair bearers to carry her away as far and as fast as they could run. "Now," said the Scarecrow when the last of the company had disappeared, "let us talk this over." "Well!" gasped Dorothy, fanning herself with her hat, "I never was so s'prised in my life!"
Wouldn't they be s'prised? Thank you, Mister Conductor, and thank the motorman, too. We would like to know his girl. Does she ever ride on his car and do you s'pose he would bring her over to play with us some day? We'd meet her at the end of the line. Or maybe she is too big for us." The conductor laughed in boyish delight, "Yes, I am afraid she is too big.
"Jest a suspicious hoot of an owl an' a movin' shader," answered Ham. "I reckon thar was one of them durned skunks a-hidin' in that clump of trees, a-callin' out some signal; an' I shouldn't be none s'prised if my bullet pinked him. Leastwise I thought I heer'd a smothered cry." "Get torches and we will see," cried Mr. Conroyal excitedly. "Maybe you got him, Ham."
