He had accomplished about half his job when again Daisy's voice broke imperiously in upon him. "Blake! Blake! Come in! You'll get wet to the skin." He stopped at once, straightening his great frame with a sigh of relief. Daisy was standing at the drawing-room window. He pulled on his coat and went to join her. She came to meet him with sharp reproach. "Why are you so foolish?
But it seemed as if the great beauty and tenderness of the world were for him, this morning, as if some great Power stretched out its arms to him, and spoke through it. "I'll not be silly again," straightening himself, and buttoning his coat; but before the words were spoken, his head had sunk again, and he stood quiet.
Then his smile disappeared and his eyes, blue-gray, took on frosty little glints. The Kid, after straightening out the troubled affairs of the Thomas family, was heading northwest again. It was the age-old wanderlust that led him out of the Rio country once more. "What do yo' say, Blizzahd?" he drawled. His tones held just a trace of sarcasm.

I just thought I'd tell yuh," he added casually, straightening up, "because I didn't think you knew it before." "Thanks." The man smiled one-sidedly and began filling a pipe while he watched them. "A-course it won't be much trouble to move your shack," Andy continued with neighborly interest. "A wheelbarrow will take it, easy.
