That boy's thank-you," he added, nodding sidewise toward Hans, "was pay enough for me." "Like enough ye have a boy of your own," said Dame Brinker, quite delighted to see the great man becoming so sociable. Dr. Boekman's good nature vanished at once. "Do not think the vrouw meddlesome, mynheer," said Raff.
And without so much as a thank-you, he staggered out, grasping for hand-holds to guide himself in a most unspacemanlike manner. Mike craftily sat back, still on his heels beside the object, and watched until Ishie had disappeared, and then turned his full interest to the playtoy that fortune had placed in his shop. Without hesitation he removed the false front they had so carefully put in place.
Zen.... Zen!... Transley was a good fellow, but how much a man will take with scarce a thank-you!... Presently Y.D. became aware of a hand resting upon his shoulder, and tingling from its fingertips came something akin to the almost forgotten rapture of a day long gone. He raised his great palm and took that slowly ageing hand, once round and fresh like Zen's, in his.
"And nobody will ever thank you for it," added Coleman. "I don't ask them to thank me for it; I give it to them without asking one thank-you for it," replied Franklin, who was in a very happy mood. "Well," added Coleman, "the more I see of you, the more I am satisfied that there is but one Ben Franklin in these parts."
There was a wench for you, who allowed herself to be amused and then made off with never a thank-you in company with the first petticoat that came by! Without doubt it was only a matter of three francs, but she felt it was hard lines all the same her way of doing it was too disgusting.
There were scissors, crayons, paste, pencil, and squares of colored paper. And there was a note which Jimmie smoothed out and handed to Daddy. "From Jimmie Brown," he read, "Bethel Church, Cleveland." "We-we were s'posed to write thank-you letters!" Jimmie burst out miserably. "She sat us all down to a table and gave us pens and paper." "And what did you do, Son?"
Last time I took it out, it was to give a poor, consumptive old blackfellow a treat, and now, you see, I tune, to please a peasant's ear, the harp a king had loved to bear." Bee-o-buoy-bee-o-buoy-bee-o-bee-o-bee-o-buoy "I'll give you a tune on the violin, if you like," exclaimed my companion, rising to his feet. "Thank-you, Alf."
"May I?" he asked hesitatingly. "Why, of course!" And her eyes met his with hospitable frankness "Come whenever you feel lonely!" "I often do that!" he said. "All the better! then we shall often see you!" she answered "And you'll always be welcome!" "Thank-you! I believe you mean it!" Mary smiled. "Why of course I do! I'm not a newspaper syndicate!" "Nor a Mrs. Mushroom Ketchup!" put in Helmsley.
"She thinks it the most matter-of-fact thing in the world that she should play Sister of Charity to other people's sick, and never expect so much as a thank-you from them." "She is a lovely character," said Mrs. Whittridge, warmly. "She is indeed," assented her brother. "A rare character. She is one in a thousand."
"Snap and let snap" was the unwritten law in Toyland, and though they all squabbled among themselves, if a girl were ill or had bad news her companions were ready in an instant to help or console. They mimicked Win and gave her the same nickname she had gained downstairs, "Miss Thank-you," "Beg-your-pardon," and "If-you-please."
