Jesse, however, could not stand this sort of thing very long, and at length, with considerable exultation, asked Rob what luck he had had. Rob rather shamefacedly admitted the failure which he and Alex had made. "We did better," said Jesse; "we got one." "You got one? Who got it?" demanded Rob. "Where is it?" "There's a ham hanging up over there in the brush," answered Jesse.
I remarked, somewhat mischievously, after I had summoned his wife from down-stairs. "Well, naw, seh," a little shamefacedly. "Not so much. You see, seh, dey dey's mos' too much fu' a body, sich times. Dey will talk, you'se dey will, an' 'livah 'scouhcis, an' a sick man he hain't got de strenth to to supplicate in kine, an' hit kind o' mawtifies him, seh."
"What do you seek from me?" she demanded; "Why do you clamour like babes for something you cannot get, my obedience?" They looked shamefacedly at one another, then at Sergius Thord and Pasquin Leroy, who sat side by side at the lower end of the table. Max Graub and Axel Regor, Leroy's two comrades, were for once absent; but they had sent suitable and satisfactory excuses.
And so, too, with the incident of the Slump in Golcondas.

"You takin' his part, ain't y'?" he said. "M-m-m! how's thet? Are you so all-fired anxious t' git t' Brannon?" "No, dad, I'll never go to Brannon. Never! never! If I did, you, my father, oughtn't t' misunderstand it." He quailed before her vehemence, and hobbled shamefacedly toward the door. "O' course, if th' Injuns come " he began. "They won't." She drew Marylyn to her.
Toby, giving every indication of guilt, slouched along beside his captor, occasionally glancing shamefacedly over his shoulder. We were now nearing a police station, and our companion, for the first time showing any sign of personal interest, inquired if we had a lawyer.
What a man you are!" "Dear me! To think of my forgetting it!" said the philosopher, shamefacedly. "She told me to say good-bye to you for her." "She's very kind. I can't forgive myself." His hostess looked at him for a moment; then she sighed, and smiled, and sighed again. "Have you everything you want?" she asked.
"There's the makings of a fine man in him if we give him but a shove in the right direction. He baffles me to comprehend, and yet" this a little shamefacedly "and yet I've brought him to my evening prayers. I would like guidance on the laddie. With him it's a spoon made or a horn spoiled.
Perhaps Don would even venture to play "forfeits" with her. Ranald felt his face grow hot at this thought. Then, with sudden self-detection, he cried, angrily, aloud: "I don't care; let him; he may for all I care." "Who may what?" cried a voice behind him. It was Don himself. "Nothing," said Ranald, blushing shamefacedly. "Why, what are you mad about?" asked Don, noticing his flushed face.
He laughed, then became serious. 'I had lots of trouble to keep these people off, he said. 'Did they want to kill you? I asked. 'Oh, no! he cried, and checked himself. 'Why did they attack us?
