"Odd, isn't it, that you don't go to a girls' school?" Honor laughed. "That's what Muzzie thinks. She did want me to go, but I didn't want to, and Stepper my stepfather, you know, stood up for me. I never liked girls very much when I was little. I do now, of course. I've two or three girl friends who are wonders. I adore them. But I still like boys best.
I'd like to try her out on a good straightaway and there's a pretty fair road up on this end of the mesa." "I'd sure like to go! Say, Doc, how much does one of them automobiles cost?" "Oh, about three thousand, without extras." "How fast kin you go?" "Depends on the road. My car is guaranteed to do seventy-five on the level." "Some stepper! You could git to Sanborn and back in a couple of hours."
"Oh, Stephen, dear!" They were not consulting Mrs. Lorimer at all. "I've got it! It's an inspiration! 'Stepper! Neat, crisp, brisk. Means, if any one should ask you, 'Step-pa' and also, literally, stepper; a stepper; one who steps into another's place." "Stephen " "Well, haven't I, my dear?" He considered the three young Carmodys, nine, seven, and five. "Steps yourselves, aren't you?
"Right, T. S." "But things Carter says, things he doesn't say Stepper, I think Jimsy needs me now." The man was silent for a long moment. He could, of course, assert his authority or at least his power, since the girl was Mildred's child and not his, break with his good friend, the Signorina, and take Honor home. But, after all, what would that accomplish, unless she went to Stanford?
"Corporal of the guaod, the quane of all the South is coming down the road, riding a high stepper. Phat will I do, I dunno?" "Stop her," I yelled with my teeth chattering. "Halt right fhere yez are," said the Irishman, with a look on his face that showed he was well, that he was an Irishman, and had an eye for beauty.
So I dressed in a new suit of light buckskin, trimmed along the seams with fringes of the same material; and I put on a crimson shirt handsomely ornamented on the bosom, while on my head I wore a broad sombrero. Then mounting a snowy white horse a gallant stepper I rode down from the fort to the camp, rifle in hand. I felt first-rate that morning, and looked well.
Sometimes the stepper will leave the line of her own accord; sometimes her guard will purposely, and without her knowing it, lead her off the course and then her careful, high steps over nothing add to the fun of the onlookers. Any number may take part in the sport, and in turn act as stepper. At the end a prize should be given by vote to the one who afforded the greatest amusement.
"And you mustn't believe all the hysterical tales in the newspapers, Muzzie dear. Here's Stepper now." Stephen Lorimer was turning the car in at the driveway and a moment later he came into the house. He looked very tired but he smiled at his stepdaughter. "You're in luck, Top Step! I've just come from the Mexican Consulate. Met some corking people there, Mexicans, starting home to-morrow.
Now I can't stan' here foolin' no longer; you'd better be gittin' right along home, an' don't you break this other gal's neck with that old stepper you've got out there." Madelon Hautville said not another word. She went out of the jail quickly, and she and Dorothy were soon in the sleigh and flying down the road.
"Did you see that woman who went by just now?" he said to Carrie on the first day they took a walk together. "Fine stepper, wasn't she?" Carrie looked, and observed the grace commended. "Yes, she is," she returned, cheerfully, a little suggestion of possible defect in herself awakening in her mind. If that was so fine, she must look at it more closely.
