"Now don't you go and get skeered, Miss," he said, kindly; "'taint nothin' in the world but a rabbit. Mamie can't never get used to rabbits, someways." He indicated one of the horses a high, raw-boned animal, sketched on a generous plan, whose ribs and joints protruded, and whose rough white coat had been weather-worn to grey. "Hush now, Mamie," he said; "'taint nothin'."
It was his first vigorous indication of returning strength. "Someways," he said, "I'd rather you'd shoot me here, right now, than send me back to the pen. But I couldn't stand fer that!" He made his characteristic gesture towards the river. As Van made no comment the fellow concluded: "I s'pose you need the reward."
"The ladies are reasonably well, and will be flattered by your inquiries. How is Mr. Hartman?" "Wall, Square, I ain't none too satyfied 'bout him. He don't say nothin to nobody, but he seems kinder low in his mind, like. Ever sence you played that durn trick on me and him, he's ben someways diffurnt. He " "Look here, my aged friend; why should you accuse me of playing durn tricks on people?
I tried to stop them and the old lady and Bonnie Bell was both hollering at them; but the hired man he raised his hand. "Let them alone!" says he. "They got almost human intelligence someways," says he. "Let 'em alone, so they can have it out."
And Lars was in no way offended; he seemed quite pleased at having said something funny, and, forgetting his ill-will, joined in the laugh himself. "Yes, I say it straight out," said he. "And if it wasn't for you being a friendly sort between whiles no, friendly I won't say, but someways decent and to get on with after a fashion ... if it wasn't for that...." "Well, what then?"
If I hadn't bin blind, an' some of 'em half-way human to'ards a man with his lights out, I'd never have raised it. I'd have got here someways, matey, if I'd had to walk, but I'd have got here a bit late. Then I'd have had to wait till Simms got back ag'in an' mebbe starved to death. "But I'm here an' I've got some say-so. One thing, you're goin' to git Bergstrom's share.
Yet, in truth was I come to a worse place than any, maybe; for as I went forward, striding very strong, and making a good speed, I did hear presently a little noise upward in the night, and someways unto my left, that had seeming as that it were a strange low sound that did come down to me out of an hidden doorway above; for, indeed, though the sound did come from very nigh, as it did seem no more than a score feet above my head, yet was it a noise that did come out of a great and mighty distance, and out of a Foreign Place.
"I could do what I've always done cooking and cleaning and washing and ironing, and I could carry things up-stairs for you." "Maybe you could, Rosemary, but you ain't goin' to. You've served out your time. Don't you worry about me I ain't goin' to kill myself." "I I wish you'd let me," Rosemary stammered. "Well, I won't, and that's the end of it. I'll get along someways.
Bonnie Bell didn't say a word to me, nor me to her. I thought she ought to come to me and talk things over; but she didn't. I knowed she hadn't said a word to her pa, and I knowed I hadn't neither. Tom he called three times the first week. I didn't care much for him someways, though I knowed I ought. Bonnie Bell knowed she ought too. Her pa knowed he ought too.
Now the Maid, having stood very quiet, had lookt all that time about her; and so had come to some knowing of the place where she did be in the Land, for she to know the land someways, as you shall think. And she askt me how I did mind to go; and truly I said, so straight as we might; but yet so that we come neither too nigh to the shining nor to the great red fire-pit of the Giants.
