Sawyer's in the store?" "Went up in smoke, didn't I tell yer?" "I beg your pardon," said the stranger again. "But doesn't your store stand on land belonging to the old firm?" Strout squinted at the stranger. "I guess you're a lawyer lookin' for points, but you're on the wrong track. You won't get 'em." "I'm not a lawyer, Mr. Strout. I only inquired thinking my friend Mr. Maxwell might "
She'll bite. Ketch the fleshy part of your leg, she will, and just tear and bite." This carrying of war into the enemy's country proved as disconcerting as unexpected, while to mention the sex of an animal was, in Reginald Sawyer's opinion, to be guilty of unpardonable coarseness.
Before it lay the swamp, and through occasional gaps gleamed the still waters of the Drowned Lands. As the visitors emerged from the valley there was a loud hallo from the hill-top, and a small, limping figure came hurrying down the slope. The little fellow perched upon Jake Sawyer's shoulder gave a squeal of welcome, and Jake's face lit up.
The word or the deed coming straight from the heart, without any thought of effect, seems inspired. A certain gateway in Miranda Sawyer's soul had been closed for years; not all at once had it been done, but gradually, and without her full knowledge.
They had found no gold worth looking at twice, and, lingering too long in the search, they had rashly turned back on a shortcut across the desert. Two days before, the blow had fallen. They found Sawyer's water hole nearly dry, just a little pool in the center, with caked, dead mud all around it. They drained that water dry and struck on.
The philosopher held the piece of wood he had been planing to the light and examined it critically. "Once," he resumed, taking up his work again, "when Dave Furber was courtin' Katie Bearse, I drove over to Sawyer's Falls with him to get Katie a birthday present an' among other things we thought we'd buy some candy.
"Molly Sawyer's brother knows a boy who is a wireless operator in the Canadian Army and sends messages from trees!" "And if I have a little more practice I can try the troop exams next winter and get a certificate!" "Billy," broke in his mother, "run over to Mrs. Clark's and tell Alice to come home at once. Nora rang the bell for her but she did not hear."
Gwendolen looked at her a moment in silence, biting her inner lip; then she went up to her, and putting her hands on her mamma's shoulders, said, with a drop in her voice to the lowest undertone, "Mamma, don't speak to me now. It is useless to cry and waste our strength over what can't be altered. You will live at Sawyer's Cottage, and I am going to the bishop's daughters.
"We shall be told next that it was no crime in the Jews to cry out 'Crucify him." A wise and just man would probably have been of opinion that this was not a case for severity. Sawyer's conduct might have been, to a certain extent, culpable: but, if an Act of Indemnity was to be passed at all, it was to be passed for the benefit of persons whose conduct had been culpable.
She was foaled at Indian Creek, and one month later, when she was brought over to Sawyer's Bar, was considered the smallest donkey ever seen in the foot-hills.
