"I dare say you will even deny that you ever saw this letter before!" There was a minute's pause while I suppose he looked at the letter. "I never did!" he said solemnly. There had been a queer sound all along, but now I made it out. Some one else was in the room, sniveling and crying. "My poor lamb!" it whimpered. And I knew it was Mrs. Hutchins, Miss Patty's old nurse.
He turned to Coffin. "And stop sniveling. You're the big publicity man around here; you're going to handle the screaming masses, whether you like it or not." "But what are you going to do?" "I haven't the faintest idea," said Phillip, "but whatever I do is going to cost you your shirt. We're going to find out how to catch cold again if we have to die."
Ruperta cried, "Oh, mamma!" and in a moment had one long arm round her mother's neck, while the other hand seized the letter, and she read it aloud, cheek to cheek; but, before she got to an end, her mother's tears infected her, and she must whimper too. "Here are a couple of geese," said Richard Bassett. "Can't you write a civil reply to a civil letter without sniveling?
"Her body was interesting. It was covered with bruises. There were stains on its flesh. At the sight of them the lodge brother, the sniveling one who had followed me home in the snow, set up a veritable caterwauling. Here was terrible evidence of the fellow's guilt. The bruises of course.
I halted, and handed him my pass, but he said it was a forgery, and ordered me to dismount. I turned on the water, from my eyes, and began to cry, but it run off the bad corporal like water off a duck. "None of your sniveling around me," said the vile man. "Get down off that horse." "Sir," I said, with well feigned indignation, "you would not molest a poor girl who has no one to defend her.
"See here, McCabe, I've had a deuce of a time with that case. Must have been something wrong with the address, you know." "How's that?" says I. "Why," says he, "it led me to a smelly, top-floor flat up in Harlem, and all I could find there was this impossible person, Mrs. Fletcher Shaw. Of all the sniveling, lying, vicious-tongued old harridans! Do you know what she did?
But I hardly deceived her. "Sacred to her memory! Her ratlike little face, soft voice like a purring, sniveling cat! Is that what you're remembering, Gregg Haljan?" I tried to laugh. "What nonsense!" "Is it? Then why are you cold under my touch? Am I, a girl descended from the Martian flame-workers, impotent to awaken a man?" A woman scorned!
Who came creeping and sniveling, and took my hand under the counter, and pressed it to give me courage, and then was absurd enough to make apologies, as if sympathy was as common as dirt? Give me your hand directly, you old Hallo!" "God bless you, sir! God bless you! It is all right, sir. The bank is safe for another fifty years. We have got Master Richard, and he has got a head.
Thereupon the notary assumed a sniveling tone, like a preacher, and said to me: 'You will have to account above for the trust that Providence has placed in your hands; it would be a crime to expose this young girl to perdition. I consent to aid you in your charitable work, if your niece promises me to be industrious, honest, and pious; and above all, never to go out.
Has she ought against the paleface stranger?" The maiden said: "Faix, an' is it Biddy Malone ye dare to be callin' names? Lave this, or I'll shy your lean carcass over the cataract, ye sniveling blaggard!" I adjourned from there also. "Confound these Indians!" I said. "They told me they were tame; but, if appearances go for anything, I should say they were all on the warpath."
