"Look here, Mildred," he said, "suppose you and I convene in special session and consider this thing from all angles and then let her know what it comes to, shall we? Run along, Top Step!" "All right, Stepper," said the child, relievedly. "You explain it to her." She went contentedly away and a moment later they heard her robust young voice lifted on the lawn next door, "Jim-zee! Oh, Jimsy!
"I know of one a few miles from here," said the doctor. "He's a splendid animal, but a high and mighty stepper. I don't believe that even she could manage him." "I'll break him in for her, never fear. Of course I won't let her take any risks." "Well, leave it to me, then. I can manage it. He's awfully headstrong, though. I give you fair warning."
As it was a high-toned outfit I was to accompany, I determined to put on a little style myself. I dressed in a new suit of light buckskin, trimmed along the seams with fringe of the same material. I put on a crimson shirt, elaborately decorated on the bosom, and selected a big sombrero for my head. Then, mounting a showy horse which was a gallant stepper, I rode down to the fort, rifle in hand.
Fence in the morning. Ride out in the country, not in the Park. Get off your horse now and then, tie him up at a lych-gate and sit in a village church. Listen to the amateur organist practising 'Abide with me, and the 'Old Hundredth, on the Leiblich Gedacht and the Dulciana, with the bourdon on the pedals. There's nothing like that for making life seem a slow stepper instead of a racer.
Truck got his harpoon in readiness, but, fortunately for itself, the seal did not come within reach of his deadly weapon. Rounding Stepper Point, we stood up the broad estuary which forms the mouth of the river Camel, on the southern shore of which stands Padstow.
Just what the deacon might have said or done after the impulse had been set going must remain unknown, for at the crucial moment a sound of militant bells, bells of defiance, jangled up behind them, disturbing their personal absorption, and they looked around simultaneously. Behind the bells was the squire in his sleigh drawn by his fastest stepper, and he was alone, as the deacon was not.
"I suppose it's a good deal on account of his football. He's on the team, isn't he?" His eyes disdained teams. "On the team? He is the team! Captain last year and this, and next! Wait till you see him play. He's the fastest full back we've ever had, since anybody can remember. There'll be a game Saturday. We play Redlands. Will you come, and sit with Stepper and me?" "Thanks.
She was in terror, but she was clinging to something ... somewhere.... Honor decided that she did not mind the murmur of her voice; she could go on with her thinking just the same. Jimsy. Jimsy King Jimsy "Wild" King. What was she going to do? What had she promised Stepper that day on the way to the train?
Consistently and persistently bad, T. S. You know since we're not dealing in persiflage this morning that Carter is quite madly, crazily, desperately in love with you?" "I yes, I suppose that's what you'd call it, Stepper. He rather lost his head last summer, the night before you sailed."
Honor's the top step and " "Oh, Stepper, call me Top Step! I like that." "Right. And Billy's Bottom Step and Ted's the Tweeny! Now we're all set!" "Yes," said Honor, contentedly. She herded her little brothers out of the room and came back alone. "But what'll I tell people you are?" "Why, I think," he considered, "you're young enough and trusting enough to call me A Writer."
