The youngest niece had typhoid fever here last Summer for eight weeks, an' Betsey thinks the location ain't healthy, in spite of it's bein' so near the sanitarium. She was threatenin' to get the health department or somethin' after Ebeneezer an' have the drinkin' water looked into, so's they didn't part on the pleasantest terms, but in the main we've all got along well together.
Not that he was threatenin' me. No, it wasn't that. He was only thoughtful, but I kept gettin' more nervous and more fidgety. I felt after a while like I couldn't stand it. I had to crawl out of bed and begin walkin' up and down till I got quieter. But I seen that wouldn't do. "Then I begun to think. I thought of near everything in a little while.
Dick stood with his head thrown back an' his left hand clenched, while his right gripped the butt of his gun so fierce that the knuckles stood out white as chalk an' the veins was black an' swollen. His bosom was heavin', his teeth showed in a threatenin' white line, an' all the savage th' was in him was cryin' kill, kill, kill!
"They say that Honck's dam is liable to break at any minute," he answered slowly. "It's a mighty old dam, and has been threatenin' to give 'way fur the last ten years. It's a big high one, too, and has a heap of timber in it. Just as surely as that mass of stuff comes down the creek with a volume of water behind it, this pier will go to pieces and down will come the bridge."
One house has been left standin', an' he's been occupyin' it while the big snow's on the groun'. A whole deer is hangin' from the wall, an' he's been settin' thar fur days, eatin' so much an' hevin' such a good time that the fat's hangin' down over his cheeks, an' his whole body is threatenin' to bust right out uv his huntin' shirt."
At first I figgered the police would be a-comin' after me; but they didn't there wasn't nobody at all seen the shootin', I reckin. And I was skeered Vic Magner might tell on me; but I guess she didn't want to run no risk of gittin' in trouble herself that Captain Brennan, of the Second Precinct, he's been threatenin' to run her out of town the first good chance he got.
"Gasoline is terribly high right now," Jo pointed out. "So's hay, for that matter," said Demarest bluntly. "I've heard, too, of a possible scarcity of gas," Jo told him. "Yes, but the scarcity of hay is almost as threatenin', my girl; and those big horses certainly can eat the stuff.
Dey hunted all 'round fer ter git hol' her, cussin' an' threatenin', an' a haulin' me round; but 'twan't no sorter use. So finally dey took me 'long ter a boat in de crick a keel-boat, run by steam. Most de odder men disappeared; Ah never did know whar dey went, but dis yere Kurby, an' de man wif de chin-whiskers, dey done shut me up in de cabin.
"I'd like to be famous," said Mr. Dooley, "an' have money enough to buy off all threatenin' bi-ographers." "I see be th' pa-apers that th' ladies in England have got up in their might an' demanded a vote." "A what?" cried Mr. Hennessy. "A vote," said Mr. Dooley. "Th' shameless viragoes," said Mr. Hennessy. "What did they do?" "Well, sir," said Mr.
"Ah, be nice, Claude!" says I. "Dance with the young lady. I would if I was you." And you can't guess how fussy a little remark like that gets Bobby boy. He almost swallows his cigarette from the jar he gets, being spoken to by a common cloakroom checker. First off he jumps up and stalks over to me real majestic and threatenin'. "You you How dare you?" he splutters out.
