In this position were they placed when Sarah entered the cabin, and throwing aside her cloak, seated herself in front of the fire, something about halfway between each. She also appeared moody; and if one could judge by her countenance, felt equally disposed to melancholy or ill-temper. "Well, madam," said her father, "I hope it's no offence to ask you where you have been sportin' yourself since?
But I saw plainly it wadna do for a rough country drover, jauped up to the very elbows, and sportin' a handfu' o' pound-notes the day, and no' worth a penny the morn I say, I saw plainly it wadna do for the like o' me to draw up by her elbow, and say 'Here's a fine day, ma'am, or, 'Hae ye ony objections to a walk? or something o' that sort.
I'll eat the apple at the glass I gat frae uncle Johnny. She fuff't her pipe wi' sic a lunt, In wrath she was sae vap'rin, She notic't na an aizle brunt Her braw new worset apron Out thro' that night. 'Ye little skelpie limmer's face! I daur you try sic sportin' As seek the foul thief ony place, For him to spae your fortune; Nae doubt but ye may get a sight!
"But," says the object, "I haven't had a chance to tell you " "Get out you!" snaps Piddie, turnin' on his heel and struttin' off. It ain't the way he talks to parties wearin' imported Panamas and sportin' walkin' sticks; but, then, most of us has our little fads that way.
I ain't read an "Old Sleut'" for more'n a week, and there's two murder myst'ries runnin' in the sportin' extras that I'm way behind on. You wouldn't guess it in a month, but I'm takin' a fall out of the knowledge game. Mr. Mallory says I'm part in the sixt' grade and part in the eight'. "I believe it," says I; "my nut feels that way."
You could see that by the way he walked, even when he wasn't sportin' the old O. D. once more on some excuse or other. He'd come swingin' into the general offices snappy, like he had important messages for the colonel; chin up, his narrow shoulders well back, and eyes front.
"Didn't bother me any," says I. "Maybe I wa'n't followin' it real close." "The idea!" says, she. "Why come to the theater, anyway?" "Lean closer and I'll whisper," says I. "Silly!" says she. "Here! Have a chocolate." "Toss," says I, openin' my mouth. Vee snickers. "Suppose I missed and hit the fat man beyond?" "It's a sportin' chance he takes," says I. "Shoot."
Without haste he returned and squatted in the shack. He was patiently working on a silver piece when some one called out peremptorily. The old Indian's face was expressionless as he nodded to the posse of cowboys. "Seen anything of a young fella ridin' a blue roan and sportin' a black hat?" asked Houck. The Indian shook his head. "He's lyin'," asserted a cowboy.
They're only samples o' dressmaking and jewelry that a vain, conceited shrimp of a feller up in Sacramento sends down here to get customers for. In course I'm to pay for 'em. In course he reckons I'm to do it. In course I calkilate to do it; but he needn't try to play 'em off as presents. He talks suthin' o' coming down here, sportin' hisself off on Flip as a fancy buck!
Corliss dropped from the saddle. Fadeaway rode around and covered him. Corliss's hat lay a few feet from where he had fallen. Beneath his head a dark ooze spread a hand's-breadth on the trail. The cowboy dismounted and bent over him. "He's sportin' a dam' good hat," he said, "or that would 'a' fixed him. Guess he'll be good for a spell."
