Believe me, the Astors ain't got anything on us now." Mrs. Bagstock don't seem to be listenin'. She's just gazin' around smilin' vague. "Music, wasn't there?" she goes on. "I had really forgotten having ordered an orchestra. And such lovely roses! Let me take one more look at the dear old drawing-room. Yes, it was a success, I'm sure. Now you may ring for my maid. I I think I will retire."
We got along fine too, and when I says as much at the finish she jars me almost speechless by shootin' over a shy, grateful look and smilin' coy. From then on it was almost a case of friendly relations between me and Ruby, conducted on the basis of about two smiles a day. Poor thing!
Gentlemen," he goes on, shakin' hands right and left without noticin' how reluctant some of the palms came out, "I er I have a little announcement to make." "Humph!" snorts old Busbee. "Have you?" "Yes," says Mr. Robert, smilin' mushy. "I er the fact is, I am going to be married." "The bonehead!" I whispers husky.
"'Don't you touch that money! she screams. 'Don't you lay a finger on it! Ain't you got any self-respect at all, you miser'ble, low-lived and so forth and so on. All the way to the front gate I see Effie leanin' out, lookin' and listenin' and smilin'.
There was one group standin' a little way off watchin' us; but that look of Miss Vee's scattered 'em as though she'd turned the hose on them. Next minute she was smilin' again. "You see," she goes on, sittin' close, "I'm not much afraid." "You're a hummer, you are!" says I, lookin' her over approvin'. "There, there!" says she. "I see that you must have something to eat right away. Here, Hortense!
Then I got a glimpse of them shrewd blue eyes of Rowley's smilin' encouragin' at me, the first few sentences of my speech filtered back through the bone, I got my tongue movin', and I was off. Funny how you can work out of a scare that way, ain't it?
It blew a bitter spell, longest of all, and when it helt a bit so we could take our bearin's some'at, what hope! What hope! "But poor George, of a suddint he grew quiet as a lamb, and set a lookin' out, with his hand light on the oar, as ef 'twas pleasant weather, and he could see him ridin' in thar' easy on the wave; and his eyes was fur off and smilin', but they looked as though they died.
"Young Mistuh Hollister I should say, Suh," says he. "Well, well!" says I, gawpin' at him. "You lookin' for Robin Hollister too? Why, so am I!" "Then we ought to find him between us, hadn't we?" says he, smilin' friendly. "Lott's my name, Suh." "Wha-a-at!" says I, grinnin' broad as the combination strikes me. "Not Uncle Noah Lott?"
The lawyers might a then be stoptt, and a spoke might a behappen to be put in the wheel of the foreclosures; witch if not, as your noble onnur already knows, may not a turn out to be altogether quite so agreeable, unless your ever gracious and onnurable onnur should be so all mercifool as to rite to me; whereof I could then give them the whys and the wherefores, and all thinks would be smooth and smilin.
"I ain't a-goin' to say anythin' about Miss Mary's leavin' Yorkburg," she said, presently, "except this I had to go to the woodhouse about it and get plum down on my knees and own up I was cussin' mean and selfish not to be smilin' glad she and Mr. John were goin' to get married.
