"I'm going to find out about this," said John; "what did he say the name of the licking was?" "Bull Run." "Bull Run. And I'll come back and tell you." He was starting to descend the steep stairs to the street, when he caught the sound of snickers and creeping footsteps behind him. He turned like a panther, but was not in time. The heavily driven toes of the right boots of the younger St.
Say, if she'd come poutin' around, or said right out that she didn't see why I couldn't make myself useful now and then, I'd have announced flat that gardenin' was way out of my line. But when she snickers well, you know how it is. "Yessum! Me," says I. "It ain't any art, is it, just stirrin' up the ground with a spade? And how do you know, Vee, but what I'm the grandest little digger ever was?
Invade some butternut or hickory grove on a frosty October morning, and hear the red squirrel beat the "juba" on a horizontal branch. It is a most lively jig, what the boys call a "regular break-down," interspersed with squeals and snickers and derisive laughter. The most noticeable peculiarity about the vocal part of it is the fact that it is a kind of duet.
Then he springs to a rail that runs out at right angles from the wall toward me, and with hectoring snickers and shrill trebles, pointed straight at me, keeps up his performance. What an actor he is! What a furry embodiment of quick, nervous energy and impertinence!
I feel like I want to commit murder when a simpering Jane looks at me, snickers and says, 'ain't he cute? I want a ball bat to club every country jake doctor that looks me over and asks about my pituitary gland. Gee, gosh, but I do want to get away from that. I want to exchange these human nitwits for cows, calves, sheep, hosses, broncho hosses, pintos but not little round-bellied shetlands.
He peeps in at me through a broken pane in the window and snickers; he strikes up a jig on the stone underpinning twenty feet away and mocks; he darts in and out among the timbers and chatters and giggles; he climbs up over the door, pokes his head in, and lets off a volley; he moves by jerks along the sill a few feet from my head and chirps derisively; he eyes me from points on the wall in front, or from some coign of vantage in the barn, and flings his anger or his contempt upon me.
'Oh, dear, says Missis America, 'and it's a lot of trouble I'm havin' ag'in with the help, senora, ma'am. 'Laws, now! says Missis Guatemala, 'you don't say so, ma'am! Now, mine never think of leavin' me te-he! ma'am, snickers Missis Guatemala. "I was wonderin' how I was goin' to move away from them tropics without bein' hired again.
The chap that dislikes his fellow, hasn't the soul to say it out, but he goes aside and sneers and snickers, and he whispers things that breed slanders, and scandals, and bad blood, until there's no trusting anybody; and everything is full of hate and enmity but then it's so peaceful!
As for you, young man, wait!" "Gee!" I whispers, as we're shut in. "I wish I knew how to draw up a will." Vee snickers. "Silly!" says she. "Whatever have you been saying to Aunty now?" "Me?" says I. "Why, not much. Just a little chat about fam'ly trees and so on, durin' which she "
No remorse. The dead are dead. Oh, most extremely dead! So I'll sit by my sad little window and listen to this unbearable creature make love. The idiot'll go 'way in an hour and I'll be able to draw. Funny, my thoughts keep moving on, despite everything. Like John Brown's soul, or something. Words get to be separate, like the snickers of dead people. You think as one adds figures.
