The cattleman's clear grey eyes looked steadily from under his grizzly brows into the huckleberry optics of his guest. After a little he said simply, and not ungraciously, "I'll be much obliged to you, son, if you won't mention money any more. Once was quite a plenty. Folks I ask to my ranch don't have to pay anything, and they very scarcely ever offers it. Supper'll be ready in half an hour.
To Bill had fallen the task of cooking, and he was busy frying eggs and bacon in a long-handled pan, which he rested on a bed of coals. At the sight of Tom and the coffee pot, he called: "Tell Horace to pour some water into the drinking cups, put the coffee in the pot and set it in the fire. Supper'll be ready before the coffee unless you hurry."
I'll have you some cambric tea and fry you some hot cakes in a jiffy. A good supper'll het you up. I'd take shame to myself, Peter Collins, if I was you" she scowled at her husband as she bustled about "a gre't big man like you skeerin' a po' little thing like that! What diff'rence do it make who she is or whar she come from?
It was dark when for the first time she turned her head toward the camp-fire and stared curiously at the figure there. The appetizing odor of broiling bacon had drawn her attention, and as if no move went unnoticed the man said, without lifting his eyes: "Let 'em soak! Supper'll be ready directly. How'd you like your eggs if we had any?"
"Ag'in' we git washed up, supper'll be ready," announced Irish, as he deposited the wolf carcass beside the door and entered. Inside the long, low room, lined on either side by a double row of bunks, were gathered upward of a hundred men waiting the supper call. They were big men, for the most part, rough clad and unshaven.
"Supper'll be ready in a few minutes," Hawley informed him, glancing up at the round, dust-covered clock screwed to the wall. "I don't want supper I want pie," Kent retorted, and opened a door which led into the hallway.
Supper? you want supper? Supper'll be ready directly." I sat down on an old wooden settle, carved all over like a bench on the Battery. At one end a ruminating tar was still further adorning it with his jack-knife, stooping over and diligently working away at the space between his legs. He was trying his hand at a ship under full sail, but he didn't make much headway, I thought.
"But avast," he added, tapping his forehead, "you haint no objections to sharing a harpooneer's blanket, have ye? I s'pose you are goin' a-whalin', so you'd better get used to that sort of thing." "I thought so. All right; take a seat. Supper? you want supper? Supper'll be ready directly." I sat down on an old wooden settle, carved all over like a bench on the Battery.
"This supper'll come in mighty handy, won't it, if we have to be out here all night, Mr. Barton?" "If we have to be out here all night?" faltered Barton. Oh, ye gods! If just their afternoon ride together had been hotel talk as of course it was within five minutes after their departure what would their midnight return be? Or rather their non-return?
"Yer rooms is ready," continued the woman; "ye can take yer pick of them. Supper'll be on the table the minute ye come down. Ye'd better take this lamp, sir, and thar's another one in the upper hall. I expect ye two is brother and sister. Ye're alike as two pins of different sizes." "You're right," said Ralph, holding up the lamp, and looking about him; "but please tell me, where are the stairs?"
