This fringe filled up his neck so thet he did n't hev to wear no collar, 'nd he had n't no jewelry about him excep' a big carnelian bosom pin that hed the picture uv a woman's head on it in white. His specs sot well down on his nose, 'nd I could see his blue eyes over 'em small eyes, but kind ur good-natured.
'Specs it seems like when de little darkys use' to play wid her," he continued, looking at Amy, who, if she heard what Mandy Ann was saying, gave no sign, but seemed, as Jake said, "wropp'd up" in the twins.
You see, says Rosy, getting excited, his innocent, dreamy eyes a-shining behind his specs and the ridge of red hair around his bald spot waving like a hedge of sunflowers; 'you see, he says, 'my experience has convinced me that there's a fortune right in these islands for a photographer who'll take pictures of the natives. They're all dying to have their photographs took.
We'd allus had some one to look after us and take care of us, but now there wasn't anybody." "Were you married, Juba?" "Yes, but I don't know whether my ole man is livin' or not. He was sold down in Georgie, to a cousin of ole massa." "Then he may be living yet?" "Yes, honey." "How old are you, Juba?" asked Frank. "I don't know, chile. I's powerful old. Specs I's a hundred." Ernest smiled.
"The Mystery Man!" shouted the Overland Riders. "Oh, Mr. Long, where are you?" cried Grace. "I am here, bound over to keep the peace. If you will kindly release me I will stretch myself, fit you with specs and proceed to break the peace as soon as I can catch sight of the fellows who put me here. Specs, folks? If you cannot wait, fetch my case.
Then his very first impression of her as "a sort of white Topsy" recurred to him suddenly and flashed into speech. "Mary Ann, I don't believe you know how you came into the world. I dare say you 'specs you growed." "No, sir," said Mary Ann, gravely; "God made me." That shook him strangely for a moment. But the canary sang on: "Sw-eet. Sw-w-w-w-w-eet." And so it was settled.
Edestone had settled himself down for a quiet day of waiting, and Lawrence amused himself by inspecting every part of the ship and talking with all on board from the oil men to the Admiral. At which "Specs" peeped at him with a suspicious glance through his thick glasses. "Has Mr. Edestone spoken to you of that?" he asked. "Yes," replied Lawrence, "but he did not explain to me its working."
"Some excitement ourselves, to-day, down at the store, believe me. The Old Man's son started in to learn the retail selling end of the business. Back of the showcase with the rest of us, waiting on trade, and looking like a Yale yell." Pa would put down his paper to stare over his reading specs at Al. "Mannheim's son! The president!" "Yep! And I guess he loves it, huh?
"Run them off for a week or two, or a month at the outside. They can't come to any harm in that time. After that we will get a governess. You are in no state of health to worry about one just now, and it is utterly impossible that I can see about the matter at present. I have several specs. on foot that I must attend to. Send the youngsters to school down here for the present."
