One day when a box of especially beautiful flowers was left for the mistress the cook happened to be present, and she said: "Yo' husband send you all the pretty flowers you gits, Missy?" "Certainly, my husband, mammy," proudly answered the lady. "Glory!" exclaimed the cook, "he suttenly am holdin' out well." The folks in the southern part of Arkansas are not noted for their speed.
"We can follow the wolves," said Andy Sudds, stoutly. "They knew their way out." "That is true, we will hope," Professor Henderson said. "For I must state that I believe our peril is very great." "How so, sir?" Jack queried. "We do not know how soon this glacier may move on." "Another earthquake?" cried Mark. "Oh, gollyation! I suttenly hopes not," wailed Wash. "No.
The horse was ambling peacefully along a quiet lane, and as he spoke Captain Guest twisted the reins loosely round his own wrist and half held out his hands, then drew them back again in obvious embarrassment. The shyness was all on his own side, however, for Cornelia cried, "Why, suttenly!" in frank response, and pulled back the loose lawn sleeve to leave her wrist more fully exposed.
"If Miss Liza done rid out de doh in a charity of fyah, she suttenly change her min' an' rid back in agin! Dem candles begin to sizzle an' spit up sparks, an' shoot up balls of terror dat bust 'ginst de ceilin' an' come down kersplash! all over us!
"Suttenly not! Why should I? It won't be the first time by a good many that I've stayed a night by myself in a hotel, and there's no reason why I should move. I'll have my meals up in this room, if it will ease you any, but I won't leave this place till to-morrow morning. Then I'll go back," she laughed feebly, "to The Nook, and humble pie!"
Exclamations of recognition, too, for the new-comer was none other than Captain Guest himself, most obviously equipped for town. "Miss Briskett is that you?" "Mussy, what a turn you gave me! Who'd have dreamt of meeting you here?" "Are you going up to town?" "I am! Are you?" "I am! Do you prefer to travel alone? If not, may I come in?" "Why, suttenly!"
"Suttenly I'll done kill him," screamed the boy in a a frenzy of rage. "Why not? He desarves hit, the hell-hound. All of us Hartburns 've said we'd done kill him the minnit we laid eyes on him. Now that I've got him I'm gwine t' finish him." He made another vicious lunge at the man with his bayonet. "Indeed you're not," said Si, releasing his hold on the prisoner and catching Nate's gun.
"'Ah doan reckon he'll git me, an' ah suttenly needs de money, answers the coon, and continues to strip, and Merritt sizes him up and sees the finish of Fuzzy Wuzzy, who was shaking the bars and trying to get away from the super who was prodding him; but everybody thought he was trying to get at the coon to make a meal of him, and some of the women folks were getting hysterics.
"Up here in the air, Wash?" cried Jack. "Dunno whar dey is," said the darkey, doggedly. "Dar he crows ergin! Dar is suttenly critters ob his kind nearby yes sah!" It may have been the Shanghai's raucous tone that aroused Andy. The old hunter suddenly appeared on the platform behind the operator's seat, where the boys and Wash were clinging, and Andy brought his rifle with him. "Hullo!" he said.
Bofe sich fine gemmen! Nowdays," he concluded, "dey go to cou't wid dey diff'ences, an' when it's all over de neighbors say: 'My! Who'd ever thought dem men wuz sich skallawags! De cou'ts may be all right in dey way, Marse Bob, but dey suttenly do strip a man of his se'f respec'." The Colonel came out drawing on his gloves. He made a striking figure in his riding togs.
