So many ounces of dust, so many in nuggets, so much in bills and coin, gold and silver. Each item was a stab. "Yes, all that all that!" she jumped up wildly, "and it's gone! But we got to find it. What you hangin' round here for? Why, if you boys had any natchral spunk you'd have the thief strung up by now." "We got to find him fust." "You won't find him standin' here." They conferred afresh.
"Did he say that?" asked Frank, indignantly. "Yes." "When he tells you that, you may say that I shall never go to the poorhouse." "He says his father is going to put you and your sister there." "All the Deacon Pinkertons in the world can never make me go to the poorhouse!" said Frank, resolutely. "Bully for you, Frank! I knew you had spunk." Frank hurried home.
Billy had seen him once or twice, also, at the Beacon Street house, when she and Aunt Hannah had dined there; but on all these occasions he had been either the coldly reserved guest or the painfully punctilious host. Never had he been in the least approachable. "He treats me exactly as he treated poor little Spunk that first night," Billy declared hotly to herself.
"If Willy Fraser had had as much spunk as Peter, Miss Cecily King mightn't be so low spirited," quoth Dan, significantly. Cecily tossed her head and disdained reply. There are really some remarks a self-respecting young lady must ignore. If we did not have a white Christmas we had a white New Year. Midway between the two came a heavy snowfall.
An' yet, blow me if I wouldn't 'a bin glad if one o' my two 'ad 'ad spunk enough to join 'em," at this Polly could not refrain from saying pitifully: "Oh, Mr. Ocock, do you really MEAN that?" For both Purdy and brother Ned were in the rebel band, and Polly's heart was heavy because of them. "Can't you see my brother anywhere?" she asked Hempel, who held an old spyglass to his eyes.
"Yes," sez I, sadly, "you have got the spunk." "Wall," sez he, "I guess I can spunk up, and do somethin' for one of my own relations, without any interference or any advice from any of the Smith family, or anybody else." Sez I, "I don't want to stop your doin' all you can for Lodema, but why not tell what you are a-goin' to do?" "It will be time enough when the time comes," sez he.
Are your eyes gray or green this morning?" "Both," replied Louise quickly. "Green for spunk and gray for love. That's what Aunty Eleanor says." "Come a little nearer. Let me see. No, they are quite gray now." "'Cause why?" she cooed, and stooping, kissed him with warm, careless affection. "You always ask me about my eyes when you want me to kiss you.
However as Ramon Salazar and Kie Wicks will reap the benefit, I think we might go on to other promising spots and let them have a free hand here. You are only girls and can't fight men like them." No other remark could have roused all the spunk in the girls. "I don't see why we can't hold our own against any man," sniffed Kit.
He could get no share in the dancing excepting what he chose to perform solus, as there was nothing in that way to be seen in the room in the shape of a reel, nor was there a single tune played of which he could make either head or tail nothing but "your foreign trash, with neither spunk nor music in them."
