But the slow-thinking, methodical trader only opened a bottle of gin, gave them fair words and a drink all round, and absolutely declined to open any sort of matrimonial negotiations. "I'm come to hev some talk with you when you've finished saltin'," he said, as he rose and meditatively prodded a junk of meat with his forefinger. "Right, old man," I said.
Bangs had run across the camp of some of the wild bunch, men he had known for long, and the slow-thinking youth had suspected no more danger from riding on up to them at this time than at any other. He had told them of the shot fired at Harris and they had known that some other Three Bar man would find the trail leading from the direction of their camp.
He was worth sixty dollars a month to that slow-thinking body when he came to Jasper; he was worth no more than sixty dollars when he threw up the job and left. Romance and adventure had called him away to the road at last, but the romance of sheep-riches, the adventure of following a flock over the sage-gray hills.
"Times has changed, Snake," was the imperturbable reply. "Wal, won't you go?" demanded the leader, impatiently. "I shore won't." Wilson did not look or intimate in any way that he would not leave the girl in camp with one or any or all of Anson's gang, but the truth was as significant as if he had shouted it. The slow-thinking Moze gave Wilson a sinister look.
He was gay, and therefore incomprehensible to a slow-thinking, grave-faced race. "What do I want with a heritage?" he asked, carelessly. "I am mate of 'The Last Hope' and that is all. Give me time. I have not made up my mind yet, but I think it will be No." And oddly enough, it was Colville who preached patience to his companions in suspense. "Give him time," he said.
It was a country of lazy, slow-thinking, slow-moving, and slow-talking adventurers you will notice this ponderous, inevitable quality of rolling stones and though men talked with humor not too fine of "travelin' up Lone River for John's gel," not a man had got there. Perhaps the men knew John Carver for a coward, that most dangerous animal to meet in his own lair.
The old contractor listened solemnly to all Cowperwood had to say on this score, thinking of the effect on the Republican party and his own contracting interests. He liked Cowperwood, but this was a rough thing the latter was telling him rough, and a great deal to ask. He was a slow-thinking and a slow-moving man, but he did well enough when he did think.
Even the few dull remarks that the slow-thinking Andrew made at intervals from his perch on the front of the cart, seemed to come to her from the realm of Faerie, the mysterious world that lay in the folds of the huddled hills. Everything Maggie saw or heard that afternoon seemed to wear the glamour of God's imagination, which is at once the birth and the very truth of everything.
The sober, slow-moving, slow-thinking Flemish townspeople were suddenly transformed into a herd of terror-stricken cattle. So complete was the German enveloping movement that only three avenues of escape remained open: westward, through St. Nicolas and Lokeren, to Ghent; north- eastward across the frontier into Holland; down the Scheldt toward Flushing.
I thank you, my Lord, for your courtesy," and the energetic youth disappeared before the slow-thinking Archbishop could call up words with which to reply. Cologne did not immediately rejoin his guests, but stood a very figure of perplexity, muttering to himself: "If our friend Mayence thinks that youngster is to be molded like soft clay, he is very much mistaken.
