They all appeared down in the mouth, an' badly skeart about the water; but for all that, I hed my fears that the painter or the bar I wan't afeard o' any o' the others mout git over thur fright afore the flood fell; an' thurfore I kept as quiet as any one o' them during the hul time I wur in thur company, an' stayin' all the time clost by the mar.
"Now, aunt," she said, in her pleasant voice, "I don't want you to forget to tell me if there ain't some sewin' or mendin' I can do whilst I 'm here. I know your hands trouble you some, an' I may's well tell you we 're bent on stayin' all day an' makin' a good visit, Mis' Hand an' me."
By time, I can taste it yet! "Well, there wa'n't no harm in her at all; she was just a fool that had to talk to somebody, males preferred. But my stayin' out nights wasn't helpin' the joyfulness of things to home, and one evenin' one evenin' . . . Oh, there! I started to tell you this and I might's well get it over.
We slept in the tents we had two and we cooked in the shanty." She smiled at the notion in adding, "At fast the neighbas thought we we'e Gipsies; and the summa folks thought we were Indians, and wanted to get baskets of us." Mrs. Lander did not know what to think, and she asked, "But didn't it almost perish you, stayin' through the winter in an unfinished house?" "Well, it was pretty cold.
"Just arrived?" he inquired. "Just," said Austen. "I thought you'd get here sooner or later," said Mr. Bascom. "Some folks try stayin' away, but it ain't much use. You'll find the honourable Hilary doing business at the same old stand, next to the governor, in Number Seven up there." And Mr. Bascom pointed to the well-known window on the second floor. "Thanks, Brush," said Austen, indifferently.
His words were low, and he raised his forefinger to his head significantly. "She ain't allers a stayin' in the squatter country nuther," he pursued. "She takes that damn ugly cat of her'n and scoots away for a time. And none of 'em up there don't know where she goes. Hones' Injun, don't she never come about this here scow, Lem?"
It was a safe guess that he was master of his impulses. In his manner was a cold reticence entirely foreign to the Dave Sanders his friend had known and frolicked with. Bob felt in him a quality of dangerous strength as hard and cold as hammered iron. "Where's yore trunk? I'll take it right up to my shack," Hart said. "I've rented a room." "Well, you can onrent it. You're stayin' with me."
Plummer fixed up his foot. She made a good job of it, too, as I can testify." "Oh, I'm very thankful!" murmured Columbine. "He'll not be crippled or or club-footed, then?" "I reckon not. You can see for yourself. For Wils's here. He was drove up night before last an' is stayin' with my brother-in-law in the other cabin there." Mrs.
Hammy overheard me mutterin' to myself in a voice 'at could be heard anywhere in the hotel, an' he drew me to one side an' sez, "Hush, presumptuous peasant; for all you know the blood of Alfred flows within his veins." "That ain't my fault," sez I; "but some of it will flow down this mountain side if he don't begin stayin' awake daytimes."
And that ended that try of makin' up. "And from then on it got worse and worse. There wan't much comfort at home where the inventor was, so I took to stayin' out nights. Went down to the store and hung around, listenin' to fools' gabble, and wishin' I was dead. And the more I stayed out, the more Bennie D. laughed and sneered and hinted.
