Slone gathered from their manner and expression that anything might happen with Bostil in such a mood. "We'd be racin' the King an' Wildfire, wouldn't we?" replied Slone. "An' supposin' we would?" returned Bostil, ominously. His huge frame vibrated with a slight start. "Wildfire would run off with your favorite an' you wouldn't like that," answered Slone.
"W'ich I ain't sir, I'm happy to say," remarked Mrs Marrot; "but, sir, supposin' we was both of us killed " She paused abruptly as if she had committed a sin in merely giving utterance to the idea. "Why, then, your other children would get the 500 pounds or your heirs, whoever they may be. It's a splendid system that, of insurance against accident. Just look at me, now."
Supposin' we get the three o' them shut up the others, when they come, will have nobody to guide them. Of course some time or other the three will break out, but it may be ower late for them. At present we're besieged and they're roamin' the country. Would it no' be far better if they were the ones lockit up and we were goin' loose?" "Supposing they don't come in one at a time?" Dickson objected.
Ride up to their camp an' say, 'We know wheah at theah's some bushwhackers, come'n see'?" Webb asked scornfully. "After this mornin' they won't even listen to a truce flag, I'm thinkin'." Croff nodded. "That's right." "Supposin' those sentries we passed back there were knocked out and two of us took their places and the other two then laid a trail leadin' here?"
"I had a word with Susan this mornin'. She was tellin' me Miss Stella does be cryin' out not to let some one ketch her, an' screamin' like a mad thing that she's ketched. Supposin' that villain was to have put the heart across in the poor child, an' she out wanderin' in the night! Wouldn't it be a quare thing for him to tumble down there an' break his dirty neck before he was let lay hold on her?"
Now, a nigger of that ar heft and build is worth considerable, just as you may say, for his body, supposin he's stupid; but come to put in his calculatin faculties, and them which I can show he has oncommon, why, of course, it makes him come higher. Why, that ar fellow managed his master's whole farm. He has a strornary talent for business."
She turned a careworn face in his direction. "What is it, Daddy?" she asked. "Mother is not worse, is she?" "No, no; she's better, if anything. But that er Annette Black has come and, long as she can't see Serena, she wants to talk to you." "About her precious politics, I suppose." "Your supposin' is as nigh right as anything mortal can be, Gertie. That's what she wants." "I can't see her.
"Come," he coaxed, "jest supposin' we was youngsters again, a-tellin' Santa Claus what we wanted. What would you ask for?" Lydia Ann laughed. Her cheeks grew pink, and the lost spirit of her youth sent a sudden sparkle to her eyes. "You'd laugh, dearie. I ain't a-goin' ter tell." "I won't 'pon honor!" "But it's so silly," faltered Lydia Ann, her cheeks a deeper pink. "Me an old woman!"
'I don't ask particulars, my dear I abominate all that concerns a quarrel; but Lieutenant O'Flaherty, jewel, supposin' the very worst supposin', just for argument, that he has horse-whipped you . 'An' who dar' suppose it? glared O'Flaherty. 'Or, we'll take it that he spit in your face, honey.
They all grinned, 'cause the' wasn't any jokes barred with us; but I didn't grin. I walked over to the group an' I sez: "Is the' anybody else in this outfit that has any o' that brand o' supposin' about 'im?"
