Under the arc light in front of the Prouty House he found them doing the Indian "stomp" dance to the delight of the guests who were leaning from their windows to applaud. "Ain't you two ashamed of yerselves?" the constable demanded, scandalized referring to the fact that Pinkey and Wallie had divested themselves of their trousers and boots and were dancing in their stocking feet. "Ashamed?"
He almost touched genius. Hazel came out, leaving the floor half scrubbed, and began to dance on the potato flat. 'Dunna stomp the taters to jeath, 'Azel! said he. 'They binna up! she replied, continuing to dance. He never wasted words. He continued the air with one hand and threw a stone at her with the other. He hit her on the cheek. 'You wold beast! she screamed.
She's awful particular comp'ny. Makes her nervous to have anybody nigh her that's bein' shot at. Ye got to be peaceful an' p'lite. Don't let no argements come up. If some feller wants yer money an' has got a gun it'll be cheaper to let him have it. I tell ye she's an uppity, hot-tempered ol' critter got to be treated jest so er she'll stomp her foot an' say, 'Scat, an' then "
Up jumped Stomp and made a prodigious show of furiously attacking the embattled cocks; it was an operation to which he was used, and which afforded him constant amusement. Suddenly, however, as he dashed towards the trees, the dog stopped midway, his simulated wrath ceased, and instead of it, an expression of real disgust grew upon his honest face.
Now with his blood growing cooler and no antagonist before him it was a different matter, and the Anglo-Saxon instinct to succor a fallen and helpless foe began to assert itself. "You're a lying hound," he said furiously, to hide his intentions. "Your hip is as sound as mine. Get up." "All right; stomp on me; go ahead; I can't move." "Where do you pretend you're hurt?" "It's here."
The question was asked with a final, emphatic stomp, an up-throw of the disheveled head, a spreading outward of both gartered arms. "That's the way t' talk!" vowed the Father. "Shure, a coward needs his own punishment handed t' him! Take yer whippin', Tom Barber, and take it like a man! For it's a whippin' that's justly comin' t' ye this mornin', as all the neighborhood'll agree!" "Where?"
No sooner would I git ready to declare a dividend than one of my outside customers would come in and take that dividend and wipe both feet on it, roll on it, stomp it, fly ten foot in the air and come down on it, bite chunks out of it, and then I'd light a match, gather the crumbs from the floor, and wisht I could git holt of something at once easy and reliable.
The little girl had risen from her low courtesy and was haranguing the assembled hundreds: "Now watch out, all of yer, an' when I do the minute yer can clap yer hands if yer like it; an' if yer want some more, yer must clap enough to split yer gloves if yer had any on, an' then I'll give yer the coon dance; an' then if yer like that, yer can play yer gloves are busted with clappin' an' stomp yer feet "
"Can't get up," said the prostrate man sullenly, after a pause. "Hip's broke, or something." "You lie! Get up, you liar!" "All right." The cattleman slumped helplessly together. "Go ahead; stomp on me. I can't get up." Roger stood looking down at him irresolutely. In the fury of combat he had been ready, even eager, to wreak any possible damage to his opponent by fighting.
"Good for any game you like to put before 'em," was the brisk summary. "That is what I want. But tell me, captain, will you be able to replace Mr. Royson? I believe he is useful when it comes to sailing the yacht, yet I have no doubt you can dispense with him?" Stomp was shrewd in a limited way.
