They start to act up and pour someone out of the saddle; then they slip and slide, helpless, and get the idea a regler demon of a rider is up there, and give in. So the boys give Herman a fussy two-year-old, and Herman got away with it not so bad. Of course he was set off a few times, but not hard; and the colt, slicking over this wet ground, must of thought another star rider had come to town.
I'd been out at work all day about the place, slicking things up for to-morrow; there was a gap in the barn-yard fence to mend, I left that till the last thing, I remember, I remember everything, some way or other, that happened that day, and there was a new roof to put on the pig-pen, and the grape-vine needed an extra layer of straw, and the latch was loose on the south barn-door; then I had to go round and take a last look at the sheep, and toss down an extra forkful for the cows, and go into the stall to have a talk with Ben, and unbutton the coop-door to see if the hens looked warm, just to tuck 'em up, as you might say.
He stepped over to Barry and with respectful confidence said: "If you know the channel, sir, I'll get into the chains with the lead myself. There's a bad shoal patch this side of the bar, and with the water slicking over it to the out-draw of that eddy, it looks like deep water." "All right, Mr. Vandersee Oh, thunder!" Barry flung out the expression in petulance.
The Southern highway surveyor, if such a personage exists, is evidently not consumed by that distressing puritanical passion for "slicking up things" which too often makes of his Northern brother something scarcely better than a public nuisance.
He rode early because he did not choose that any of his pitiless opponents of the night before should surmise that the torn, worn jeans and old cracked boots and shirt with a rent in the elbow was not merely his working garb, worn informally because he had not wanted to waste time in changing and slicking up, but the only garb he owned.
But after breakfast we'll make him wash all the dishes every one and spend the rest of the forenoon slicking up around the place. If he refuses well, we'll know how to bring him to time." So Hen was ignored for the time being. Dan and Greg busied themselves in the first breakfast preparations.
"The rest of us take the trouble to come here right and then you spoil things." "I couldn't help it," Bobbie said miserably. "It's all right, Bobbie," said Don. "Don't let it happen again." He was disappointed, but what was the use of jumping on a scout who was trying to do right? "What's the use of me slicking up," Tim scowled, "if other fellows are going to do as they please?"
It was a good soap, and cheap; he had used the same brand regularly for years in cleansing his hands. Since it answered the first purpose so well, what possible harm could there be in slicking the noose of the rope with it when he was called upon to conduct one of his jobs over up at the prison?
'He can wipe them, I suppose, said Mr. Hale. So Dixon flung off, to bid him walk up-stairs. She was a little mollified, however, when he looked at his feet with a hesitating air; and then, sitting down on the bottom stair, he took off the offending shoes, and without a word walked up-stairs. 'Sarvant, sir! said he, slicking his hair down when he came into the room.
Wetting the hair for the purpose of "slicking" it or combing it, is about as bad a thing as could be done; for the moisture sets up a sort of rancid fermentation in the natural oil of the scalp, giving the well-known sour smell to hair that is combed instead of brushed, and furnishing a splendid soil for germs and bugs of all sorts to breed in.
