As to the exact location, never mind about that. The Selmer Stock Company had other ranches where they raised other animals, but the Rolling R raised horses almost exclusively, the few hundred head of cattle not being counted as a real ranch industry, but rather an incidental by-product.
They're both of 'em gone, and that's Gawd's truth, Miss Selmer. Last I seen of Johnny he was goin' in the Alexandria. He said he was going to stop there. He registered all right I seen his name. He stayed all night, and he was gone the next day when I went after him. And the plane's gone, I been out there, and I can't find so much as a sign of it. And that was three weeks ago.
It's a perfect outrage to keep nagging Johnny when he's doing his level best and not asking any help from you or any one else. I'm sure I honor and respect him all the more, and you would too if you had a drop of human blood now what are you grinning for and trying to hide it? Dad Selmer, you do make me perfectly furious at times!"
The plane ain't yours till I don't pay. Seems to me you better wait till the note's due before you begin to worry, Mr. Selmer. And I'll set your mind at rest on one point, anyway. The plane may go to smash, as you say, but if I don't smash with it, I'll pay you that three thousand. And you don't have to strain any point, either, to give me a job. When I want to work for you I'll sure tell you so.
Did you really think I was that nasty Mary V Selmer calling you up?" "Why, no, I I was just talking to her father but as soon as I I was thinking maybe the old man had forgot something, and had her uh course I knowed your voice right away sweetheart." That was very daring. The man's forehead was all beaded with perspiration by this time, and it was not the heat that caused it.
"Dad Selmer, I would never have believed a person on oath if they had said you could be so perfectly mean and mercenary! If that's all you care about, why take the Bear Cat and give me that note! Go on take it! I guess Johnny has a right to do as he pleases until the note is due, at any rate. You might at least treat Johnny with ordinary business courtesy, I should think.
This is Venus speaking. May I ask if you expected Miss Selmer to call you up?" Raised eyebrows would harmonize perfectly with that tone, which was sugary, icily gracious. "Oh er hello! That you, Miss Selmer? Beg your pardon my mistake. Er ah how are yuh this evenin'?" "Oh lonesome." A sigh seemed to waft over the wire. "You see, I have quarreled with Mars again.
Johnny snapped impatiently. "Turn 'er over. Miss Selmer wants me to pilot her home, and I'm going to tackle it. You needn't be scared, though; I'll come back." "I don't think so," said Bland, teetering a little as he stood. "I will, unless I bust something. And it's my machine, so I'm sure going to be right careful that nothing busts."
"That wasn't so bad, if it hadn't shown on the face of it that it was just dragged in to make a rhyme. Do you know what wight means, Miss Selmer?" Mary V was inwardly shaken. She had always believed that wight was a synonym for dunce, but now that he put the question to her in that tone, she was not positive. Her angry eyes faltered a little. "I see you don't of course.
And right then he'd sure play even for some of the insults they were handing him now. "Mary V Selmer? Let's see the name sounds familiar, somehow. O-oh! You mean that little red-headed ranch girl from Arizona? Oh-h, yes! Well, give her a free pass but I mustn't be bothered personally with her. The girl's all right, but no training, no manners. Hick stuff; no class, you understand.
