"Couldn't have been that Sellimer crowd, I reckon, from Chicago?" "Yes Mrs. Sellimer and her daughter, and some of their friends." Willock whistled loudly. "And that up-and-down looking chap in the gold nose-glasses was your brother?" "Never thought of that," Bill exclaimed, "although he had your name he looked so different!
It must of been AWFUL for pore Miss Sellimer, all bound and gagged in that horrible way, but it takes heroic treatment to get some cures and so Lahoma went with 'em to spend the winter." "But the Indian ?" "Needn't think about HIM no more, son, we got no more use for THAT Injun.
We're so different that we parted without saying good-by, and although I had the weakness to imagine we might patch up old differences if we could meet here in the desert, I suppose we'd have fallen out in a day or two we're so unlike. And as to Miss Sellimer Annabel Sellimer she is the girl whose letters I was carrying about with me when I first saw you.
Just as soon as Miss Sellimer was well enough to travel, NOTHING couldn't hold her in these parts, and that's why your brother had to leave before seeing you he's setting to Miss Sellimer, and if Lahoma don't git him away from her, I reckon he's a goner!" Bill Atkins spoke vaguely. "It wasn't none of my doings." Wilfred looked steadily at Willock. "What about your whiskers?"
It come to her that Miss Sellimer is a prisoner down below. She looks, but it's too dark to see nothing. Not telling nobody for fear of starting up false hopes, she gets a light and lowers it and there is that miserable young woman, bound and gagged and her pretty dress all tore.
Bill, you know how you speak to your horse, sometimes, when it acts contrary? That's the way Miss Sellimer speaks to her mother, at times. However, they don't seem very well acquainted with each other.
His farm, of course, would be managed under his superintendence unless Oklahoma City should be generous enough to spread out and surround it, and lap it up, town-lot after town-lot, till not a red clod was left.... And if a girl like Lahoma for surely she had not changed! if she, little Lahoma.... And the longing grew on him to see Annabel Sellimer and Lahoma together, that he might study the girl he had once loved with the girl he might love tomorrow.
We must have been to everything there is, except a church. Yesterday was Sunday, and I asked Mrs. Sellimer about it, but she said people didn't go to church any more. "Maybe you wonder why I don't tell you about our crowd, but I guess it's because I feel as if they didn't matter.
Sellimer has set her heart on, because she has already begun instructing me in her ideals. She wants her daughter to marry a rich man, and Mr. Edgerton Compton isn't rich, he only looks like he is. Mrs. Sellimer feels that she's terribly poor, herself; it's the kind of poverty that has all it wants to eat and wear, but hasn't as many horses and servants as it wants.
