"You talk as if you had just to wave your hand. Why should your prince want to marry a girl he has never seen?" "He will," said Mr. Scobell confidently. "How do you know?" "Because I know he's a sensible young skeesicks. That's how. See here, Betty, you've gotten hold of wrong ideas about this place. You don't understand the position of affairs. Your aunt didn't till I put her wise."
"Say, you've heard of Moosieer Blonk? Ask the old skeesicks if he's ever heard of Mersyaw Blonk, Crump, the feller who started the gaming-tables at Monte Carlo." Filtered through Mr. Crump, the question became intelligible to the President. He said he had heard of M. Blanc. Mr. Crump caught the reply and sent it on to Mr. Scobell, as the man on first base catches the ball and throws it to second.
I'd like to know what become of him. Some says he was killed, others allow that he got away. I've heerd tell that he was originally some kind of Methodist preacher! a kind o' saint that got a sort o' spiritooal holt on the old squaws and children." "Why don't you ask old Skeesicks? I see he's back here ag'in and grubbin' along at a dollar a day on tailin's. He's been somewhere up north, they say."
'Skeesicks, said I. He takes me in; and pretty soon my wife comes sailin' into the parlor, and says, 'Excuse me; but I don't think I recognize the name. She was mighty polite; for I had on a red wig and side-whiskers. 'A friend of your husband's from California, ma'am, with a present for your daughter, Miss , and I made as I had forgot the name.
Your pardner's in jail." "Ya-as? What's he been doin' now?" "Highway robbery. He got caught with the goods on. Eight or nine hundred." "The little old skeesicks! Who'd have thought it of him?" said Pete tolerantly. Then his face clouded over. "He might have let me in on it!" he complained. "Jack, you lead me to your grub pile and tell me all about it. Sounds real interestin'. Where's Bob?
I know what men think who try to do the big things. I have tried to do them." The crowd were absolutely still now, but the big river-driver shook himself free of the eloquence, which somehow swayed them all, and said: "You you look as if you'd tried to do big things, you do, old skeesicks. I bet you never earned a hundred dollars in your life." He turned to the crowd with fierce gestures.
The Wilbur twin was in advance, and stayed so as they trudged down the roadway to the big gate. With his first free breath he had felt his importance as the lawful possessor of limitless wealth. "Bright little skeesicks," said Sharon Whipple. "But the brother is really remarkable," said Gideon "so well-mannered, so sure of himself. He has quite a personality."
"If there is, you might say," suggested Wyngate, who felt he had not had a fair show in the little comedy, "ye might say to that old skeesicks of a wife's brother, if he wants to nipple in, that there are four men on the Ledge and four revolvers!
Work means money, money means bread, bread means life so." The big river-driver, seeing the effect of the old man's words upon the crowd, turned to them with an angry gesture and a sneer. "I s'pose Ingolby has paid this old skeesicks for talking this swash. We know all right what Ingolby is, and what he's done.
I know what men think who try to do the big things. I have tried to do them." The crowd were absolutely still now, but the big river-driver shook himself free of the eloquence, which somehow swayed them all, and said: "You you look as if you'd tried to do big things, you do, old skeesicks. I bet you never earned a hundred dollars in your life." He turned to the crowd with fierce gestures.
