She scorned reply to such a screed, but slid down from her perch with the remark that she had "et hearty." A man who had eaten near them in a restaurant had used the expression, and they had both promptly adopted it. He rose, went to her side, and leaned over, and inhaled the perfume of her hair. She looked up mischievously. "You are a big black animal!"
And Ward could neither explain his ignorance nor lend the book. Whereupon, after pleadings and entreaties that extended through weeks, Professor Wert took a dislike to the young man, believed him a liar, and classified him as a man of monstrous selfishness for not giving him a glimpse of this wonderful screed that was older than the oldest any philologist had ever known or dreamed.
Gals think they got the men scared, an' sometimes they guess right. Even Miss' Morrison makes Will toe the mark, an' Miss' Morrison ain't no slouch, fer a gal." This somewhat voluble screed was delivered slowly, interspersed with periods of aimless whittling, and when Irene had patiently heard it through she decided it wise to change the subject.
Its signing will mean the wiping out of an old bitterness and the dawning of a new and better day for Brookville!" The Reverend Wesley Elliot had mixed his metaphors sadly; but no one minded that, least of all the minister himself, as he signed his name in bold black characters to the wondrous screed, over which Judge Fulsom had literally as well as metaphorically burned the midnight oil.
"I can hold my whist, Maggie; if it's your will, I'll no speak your name. And I hope I hae keepit a' things to your liking in the cottage. If sae, you might gie me a screed o' writing to your brither, sae that when he comes again, he'll be contented, and willing to let me bide on here." "I'll do that gladly, Mysie. Hoo is a' wi' you anent wark and siller?"
Marco separated one of the written sheets and passed it to Andy. "Oh, dear!" cried the latter in dismay the moment his eyes had taken in the general subject matter of the screed before him. "That settles it." Andy's face ran quickly from consternation to utter gloom. The document before him was a legally-worded affair awaiting a signature.
If I am hard pressed on land, there is still wind among the tree tops. "Say nothing of all this screed to Uncle Julian. He will most likely spend the day in writing. I needed to tell you, for though every one here is kind, I cannot be sure of this one or that. And I fear me there is no help for this trouble in the gun you carry over your shoulder, Stair.

No more of it, Ray."
I had my walk as usual, and worked nevertheless very fairly. Corrected proofs. March 18. Took up Boney again. I am now at writing, as I used to be at riding, slow, heavy, and awkward at mounting, but when I did get fixed in my saddle, could screed away with any one. I have got six pages ready for my learned Theban to-morrow morning.
I ga'e them a bit screed on the watter question on Setarday nicht that garred them a' gape; an' Dauvit Kenawee said there an' then that I shud see an' get a haud o' the Ward Committee an' get a chance o' pettin' my views afore them. They a' said I was a born spowter, an' that wi' a little practice I cud speechify the half o' the Cooncil oot at the door."
