I know perfectly well that stiff old schoolmarm isn't you! Now, will you tell me who you are, and what you really look like?" Patty had to think quickly. She had supposed that Cameron meant what he said, but after all he was fooling her. And she had thought she fooled him! "Which is me, then?" she said, in a small, low voice. "None of 'ern! You goosie!
"Wrested the club from that schoolmarm, brutally and ferociously forced her into her coat and hat, compelled her to mount her horse, and then deliberately drove her away from that " "Shut up, Lance. You remind me of one of those monstrosities they serve in the Lava House, that they call a combination salad. It's about two-thirds wilted lettuce and the rest beets and carrots.
Only one event in his life had eclipsed this in happiness the interview in front of the White House. He rapped on the window with his stick, thereby frightening Cynthia half out of her wits as she sat musing sorrowfully by the fire. "Cousin Ephraim," she said, taking off his corded hat, "what in the world's the matter with you?" "You're a schoolmarm again, Cynthy." "Do you mean to say?"
That, after erecting this new house at her request, he had suddenly "gone back" on her; that his celibacy was the result of a long habit of weak proposal and subsequent shameless rejection; and that he was now trying his hand on the helpless schoolmarm, was perfectly plain to Five Forks. That he should be frustrated in his attempts at any cost was equally plain.
Some day I'm going to write a treatise on 'The Trials of a Country Schoolmarm. It will be a harrowing bit of realism. It seems to be the prevailing impression that we live in clover, and have nothing to do but draw our quarter's salary. My treatise shall tell the truth about us.
"Ah, I see him! There he is! I must find a stick." The snake was coiled some half-dozen yards from us. Upon the top coil was poised his hideous head; above it vibrated the bony, fleshless vertebræ of the tail. The little schoolmarm stared at the beast, fascinated by fear and horror. Ajax cut a switch from a willow; then he advanced. "Oh!" entreated Miss Buchanan, "please don't go so near."
"She has to take trouble not to see me. And what she's a-fussin' at is mighty interestin'. Hello!" "Hello!" returned Lin McLean, sourly. He had just looked into the kitchen. "Not dancin'?" the Southerner inquired. "Don't know how." "Had scyarlet fever and forgot your past life?" Len grinned. "Better persuade the schoolmarm to learn it. She's goin' to give me instruction." "Huh!" went Mr.
"Depends who's a-runnin' the countin'," said the Virginian, and stretched himself down among the audience. "I've saw him number one when nobody else was around," said Trampas. "How far away was you standin' when you beheld that?" inquired the lounging Southerner. "Well, boys," said Wiggin, "I expect it will be Miss Schoolmarm says who's number one to-night."
She lined out the school-marm first, an' the schoolmarm came an' told me that she was an infidel the' ain't no sense in havin' women teach school, Happy. You can't reason with 'em an' you can't fight with 'em an' they just about pester a body to death. I don't see how Barbie stands it." "Well, what did you do about her bein' an infidel?" sez I.
I'm game to donate a couple of steers toward a schoolhouse a regular schoolhouse, with the Stars and Stripes on the front end, and a bench behind the door for the water bucket, and a blackboard up in front, and a woodshed behind with a door into it so the schoolmarm needn't put on her overshoes and mittens every time she tells one of the Swedes to put a stick of wood in the stove.
