For now we knew that he wasn't badly frightened by the adventure of the night before, and that we might get another chance at him. In the afternoon it began to rain; and it poured for forty-eight hours. We cowered in our shelter before a smoky fire, and lived on short rations of crackers and dried prunes it was a hungry time." "But wasna there slathers o' food at the main camp?
Lida was furnished forth for the summer. She had no qualms in the matter. In her eyes the manse people were quite fabulously rich, and no doubt those girls had slathers of shoes and stockings. Then Lida ran down to the Glen village and played for an hour with the boys before Mr. Flagg's store, splashing about in a pool of slush with the maddest of them, until Mrs.
Slathers has made eight hundred dollars, and I know for sure that Miss Henders is going to leave the cloak department and set up a typewriting place, because she told me so; she's got a brother in the feed business who staked her." "Staked her? What's that?" "Loaned her the money," answered Maria, a certain pity in her voice for one so green and countrified. "How do you get it?"
"Or taps," added Billy. The fighting now had lost the first intensity that had signalized the day of the mine explosion. The Germans had been strongly reinforced, and had held their third line, which had now become their first. "And they've got plenty of other lines behind that one," commented Tom, as he sat on a trench step cleaning and oiling his rifle. "Slathers of them," assented Billy.
Woolgathering, ain't ye?" Maria was her only confidante and her only comfort. The Boston girl laughed when she listened to her fears, and braced her up with fairy stories of the winnings of Miss Henders and Slathers and the money they were making; but the relief was only temporary. Soon the strain began to show itself in her face. "You ain't sick, Abbie, be you?" asked the mother. "No?
'Deed and I have, and her the purtiest little trick you ever saw diamond rings on her, and silk skirts, and plumes on her hat, and hair as yalla as gold." "When she comes over here I can't be doin' my work for lookin' at her. She was brought up with slathers of money." This came back from the "cheek of the dure", where Mrs. Corbett was emptying the tea leaves from the teapot.
Here we are," and Petticoat rescued his bride from the middle of a crowd and yanked her toward his car. The car was a museum piece, and as Warble caromed into its cushions she felt that her lines had fallen in pleasant places. That was the way Fate came to Warble. In big fat chunks, in slathers. Unexpected, sudden, inescapable that's Fate all over. "I shall like Mr.
Folks there from twenty mile round, just slathers; I reckon there was a thousand if there was one." "Hoonch!" Braile would not trouble to take out his pipe in making the sound now; the smoke got into his lungs, and he coughed. Reverdy gained courage to go on, but he went on in the same strain, whether in spite of himself or not.
Just you gimme the hundred dollars and I don't want no di'monds." "All right. But I bet you I ain't going to throw off on di'monds. Some of 'em's worth twenty dollars apiece there ain't any, hardly, but's worth six bits or a dollar." "No! Is that so?" "Cert'nly anybody'll tell you so. Hain't you ever seen one, Huck?" "Not as I remember." "Oh, kings have slathers of them."
"There, you see, you prove my case. You've had experience in such matters. I don't doubt you've had slathers of proposals. Well, I haven't, and I'm like a fish out of water. Besides, this ain't a proposal. It's a peculiar situation, that's all, and I'm in a corner.
