And she looked at the girls. "It is very kind of you," said Blanche. "We should like to stay, if it isn't too much bother for you. Shouldn't we, Marj?" "Yes," replied Marjory, much surprised by this unwonted friendliness on Mrs. Shaw's part. "And don't you think Alan's clothes ought to be dried?" "Rot!" said Alan again. But Mrs. Shaw was a managing person. She felt Alan's legs.
There was nothing very cheering in their faces nor in the news they brought. "We have been ten miles from here," said Shaw. "We climbed the highest butte we could find, and could not see a buffalo or Indian; nothing but prairie for twenty miles around us." Henry's horse was quite disabled by clambering up and down the sides of ravines, and Shaw's was severely fatigued.
I can see the lamp in our kitchen now." Nathan was now on the top of the hill. The trees were cut down on one side of the path. He could look across a cornfield to his home. He whistled more loudly than ever and walked bravely on. "I wonder if there are any bears in these woods," he was thinking. "Tom Shaw's father saw a bear on the mountain last week. Tom says he would like to meet one.
I began to find unexpected books upon her table: sociological books, travels, Shaw's plays. "Hullo!" I said, at the sight of some volume of the latter. "I'm keeping a mind, George," she explained. "Eh?" "Keeping a mind. Dogs I never cared for. It's been a toss-up between setting up a mind and setting up a soul. It's jolly lucky for Him and you it's a mind.
He stayed, without dismounting, long enough to take a cup of coffee brought to him by General Shaw's daughter a "stirrup cup" his last. Then, giving his charger the spur, he rode away to death and distinction, tenderly waving a broken good-bye to the sad-eyed woman at the porch.
Lulled into a false security, as her father slept now for a time under an opiate, Eva was sitting beside him with loving care when she heard the noise below of the arrival of the car from Doctor Shaw's sanitarium. At once she was in wild alarm. Nor was Locke off his guard. While Zita tried to reassure Eva, Locke met the men. There were four of them, and as the first passed, Locke halted him.
I think it would be awfully nice if we presented the high school with a full set of Stoddard's travel-lectures!" Carol moaned, "Oh, but Vida dear, do forgive me but this farce Now what I'd like us to give is something distinguished. Say Shaw's 'Androcles. Have any of you read it?" "Yes. Good play," said Guy Pollock.
Shyness is always the sign of a divided soul; a man is shy because he somehow thinks his position at once despicable and important. If he were without humility he would not care; and if he were without pride he would not care. Now the main purpose of Shaw's theoretic teaching is to declare that we ought to fulfil these great functions of life, that we ought to eat and drink and love.
He had always a ready answer, and invariably managed to catch them in their own traps, while the "great master," as he was called, managed to keep all his subordinates in pretty good order. One of his pagazis, Khamisi, under Shaw's command, having absconded, Uledi and Ferajji found him, having fallen into the hands of some plundering Washensi, who were about to kill him.
Shaw's eyes followed the wild geese until they faded into tiny specks on the horizon. Then he turned and looked straight into her face. "Maud," he said, with a strange vibration in his voice, "I know a way out of the difficulty; a real good, pleasant way, and by it your grandmother can continue to live with me, and still be with her own folks.
