"She wants to paint heads," said Miss Snell; and in reply to a remark about the great amount of study required to accomplish this desire, surprised him by saying, "Oh, she only wants to paint them well enough to teach, not well enough to sell."
Tevis, in order to ask him if he knows the whereabouts of a certain person in whom I am interested," said Jack. "Are you a private detective?" asked Mr. Snell, with a smile. "No sir, I'm Jack Ranger, from Denton, and these are friends of mine," and Jack mentioned their names. "Well, suppose I say we haven't Mr. Tevis's address," spoke Mr. Snell.
With this he stalked off, and I could not run after him to bash his head, because what he said was perfectly true. I was almost sorry that evening, on board the boat, when he apologized and the Nile-dream went on as if I hadn't broken it by being the sort of fool Snell had said that I was.
One day Frank received an invitation to "sit into a little game" that evening. Snell tendered the invitation. Merriwell's face clouded instantly. "Why, there is no place to play, is there?" "Sure!" was the reply. "You didn't suppose we'd be knocked out so easy, did you? "Where do you play?" "Come along with Hodge to-night, and he will show you. You have been there before."
"Well, here's where you get it if you'll agree not to spring any more ghost yarns on us," said Harris. "Just look over this collection of palate ticklers, fellows." "Fruit cake!" gasped Sam, delightedly. "Oh, how my stomach yearns for it!" "Cream pie!" ejaculated Wat Snell. "Yum! yum! Somebody please hold me!" "Tarts!" panted Harvey Dare. "Oh, I won't do a thing to them!"
It's the bump on your head. Who does Snell work for?" "When he works at all, which sure ain't often, he rides for Sampson." "Humph! Seems to me, Jim, that Sampson's the whole circus round Linrock. I was some sore the other day to find I was losing good money at Sampson's faro game. Sure if I'd won I wouldn't have been sorry, eh?
Perhaps we'll have a rest now, and he'll quit sighing after the same. But they look fine and dandy, too." The boys did not wonder so much now at the size of the hooks they had found in Cousin Archie's assortment of war material, each of them fastened on a heavy but pliable brass snell, and with copper wire instead of thread.
The bills come to more than a hundred pounds; the biggest one is forty-two pounds to Snell and Walker, the Conduit Street tailors. However, I am ordering my marriage-suit from them, and that will keep them quiet. I have enough on hand to pay most of the others. But we must not run short upon our honeymoon what an awful idea! Perhaps there may be some cheques among our presents.
It was seldom used now, for it led nowhere in particular; but here and there at long distances there were some small cottages in it, and in one of these lived the cobbler, Joshua Snell. Now, Uncle Joshua, as she called him, though he was no relation to her, was a great friend of Lilac's, and the thought of him darted into her forlorn little mind like a ray of comfort.
It was a relief, of course, to be spared the infliction of Mr. Jeckley's society, but I could not but admit that the situation was developing some peculiarities. Eliminating the doubtful personality of Mr. Ambrose Johnson Snell, who was this Mr. Esper Indiman, whose identity had been so freely admitted to me and so explicitly denied to Jeckley?
