"So she's arrived in this hyeh country?" observed the Virginian, very casually. "Arrived!" said Trampas again. "Where have you been grazing lately?" "A right smart way from the mules." "Nebrasky and the boys was tellin' me they'd missed yu' off the range," again interposed Wiggin. "Say, Nebrasky, who have yu' offered your canary to the schoolmarm said you mustn't give her?"
"I had to take to selling books," she continued, speaking more to herself than to us, "because of Belle. That miserable girl got into debt. Father left her a little money. Belle squandered it sinfully on clothes and pleasure. She'd a rose silk dress " "A rose silk dress?" repeated Ajax. "It was just too lovely that dress," said the little schoolmarm, reflectively.
Jack said under his breath, holding the whole of his umbrella now over the girl instead of half, while the agent replied, "Walk to Widder Biggs's! I'd say not. It's two good miles from here. You'll have to sit in the depot till it stops rainin' a little, and I'll find you a place till mornin'. Tim Biggs was here when the train or'to of come, and said he was expectin' a schoolmarm. Be you her?"
It is hardly necessary to state that in this instance the oppressor was a pale, overworked New England "schoolmarm." The principle for which I was contending, I felt, however, to be the same. I was seized and overpowered. My pen falters as I reach the climax.
He stared at me as if I were a strange animal, clicking his teeth and twisting his fingers. "Look ye here," he burst out, angrily, with a curious note of surprise and petulance in his voice, "you an' that brother o' yours know me, old Pap Spooner, purty doggoned well. Hev ye heard anyone ever speak a good word fer me?" "No one except the schoolmarm." "An' what did she say?"
Katherine graduates from high school the eighteenth of June, and as Sally's teaching ends the same day, and Fred's patience has finally given out with a bang, she has fixed the twenty-fifth for her wedding. Won't she be busy, with just one week to get ready to be a bride, after she stops being a schoolmarm?
"I want to meet you halfway in settling this trouble, Mr. Weaver." The matter was discussed further at some length, after which the cattleman shook hands all round and departed. Out of the tail of his eye he saw Keller saddling a horse at the stables. "Think I'll beat you out of that ride with the schoolmarm to-day, my friend.
"That seems to me a trifle dull, but scarcely scandalous," Mrs. Temperley murmured. "... And as steady and respectable a young woman as you'd wish to see ... pupil teacher she was, and she rose to be schoolmarm," Dodge went on. "It strikes me as a most blameless career," said his companion. "Perhaps, as you say, considering her years, she ought to have known better, but "
"Well, you been down to Little Minóok, ain't you?" "Yes." "And you seen how the pay pinches out above No. 10?" "Yes." "Well, now, if it ain't above No. 10, where is it?" No answer. "Where does it go?" she repeated severely, like a schoolmarm to a class of backward boys. "That's what everybody'd like to know." "Then let 'em ask Pitcairn." "What's Pitcairn say?"
"There's large thirsts on Bear Creek. Lin McLean will pass on ducks." "Lin's not thirsty this month." "Signed for one month, has he?" "Signed! He's spooning our schoolmarm!" "They claim she's a right sweet-faced girl." "Yes; yes; awful agreeable. And next thing you're fooled clean through." "Yu' don't say!"
