The doctor told me, honey honest, he did one of them spells from liquor could could take you off just like that. Even getting well the way you are!" "I'm a lump; that's what I am." "You ain't, Jas; you're just everything in the world." "Sponging off a woman!" "'Sponging'! With our own little farm and us farming it to pay it off! I like that!" "Gimme a swig, Teenie. For God's sake gimme a swig!"
By a previous arrangement and without serious difficulty he had persuaded Teenie Ross, who had come to assist the Morrison girls at the threshing, to bring out a lunch to the field at ten o'clock. For half an hour they sat in the long grass in the shade of a maple tree eating the lunch which Dick at least was beginning to feel in need of. But not a minute more did Alec allow.
"Easy money, friends," Miss Hoag would ad lib. to the line-up outside her railing; "how would some of you like to sit back and draw your wages just for the color of your hair or the size of your shoes? You there, that sailor boy down there, how'd you like to have a fox-trot with Teenie? Something to tell the Jackies about.
Lottie Price stopped short three times in reciting "Curfew must not ring to-night," and had to be helped from behind the sheets by Miss Hillary. No one felt very sorry, for, as Teenie Robertson said, "Lottie Price was just showing off, anyhow, and it served her right."
It wouldn't be right, Jas; it would be something terrible if we had to break into that six hundred for medicine and doctors. I don't know what to make of you, honey, all those months so quiet and behaved on your back, and, now that you're getting well, the the old liquor-thirst setting in. We never will get our start that way, Jas. We got plans, if you don't hinder your poor Teenie.
The photograph of her brother, Lord Bidborough, they could hardly lay down. Finally, Pamela presented them with flowers and a basket of apples newly arrived from Bidborough Manor, and they returned to Balmoral walking on air. "Such pleasant company and such a tea," said Miss Watson. "She had out all her best things." "And Mrs. Jowett and Miss Dawson were asked to meet us," exulted Miss Teenie.
When the Baron spoke, his voice was not unlike the middle C of an old harpsichord whose wires long since had rusted and died. He was frock-coated like a clergyman or a park statue of a patriot. Of face, a Chaldean sire; of dress, a miniature apotheosis of the tailor's art; of form, a paleolithic child. "Blow me to a ice-cream cone? Gowann, Teenie, have a heart!"
"Robina," said Miss Teenie gloomily, "could break a steam-roller let alone a gazogene." "It'll be an awful miss," said her sister. "We've had it so long, and it always stood on the sideboard with a bottle of lemon-syrup beside it." Pamela was puzzling to think what this could be that stood on a sideboard companioned by lemon-syrup and compassed with wire-netting when Mawson showed in Mrs.
"I know," cried Teenie Ross, Rory's sister, with a little toss of her head, "Alec told me. She is the girl who has come to take the teacher's place for a month. She is the niece of Sheriff Hossie. Her father was a colonel in the Southern army, California or Virginia or some place, I don't just remember. Oh!
Take her away!" "Aw now, Teenie, Jas had the D.T.'s last night; he " "Take her away! he kept yelling. 'Take her away! One of my own kind getting the horrors just to look at me!" "You're sweet on the Granite Jaw; you are, Teenie; that's what's eating you you're sweet on the Granite Jaw " Suddenly Miss Hoag turned, slamming the door afterward so that the silence re-echoed sharply.
