She was too dark complected, and had altogether too thumpin' feet and ankles, besides wearin' wrinkly stockings." That was Andy's criticism, confided to his brother John, around whose grave mouth there was a faint glimmer of a smile, as he gave a hitch to his suspender and replied, "I guess her stockin's do wrinkle some." A few of Melinda's ways Mrs.
"Any guest who is dissatisfied with the manner in which the Restorium is conducted has the option of leaving." "Well, say!" says Mr. Ellins, thumpin' the desk earnest, "I am dissatisfied! Buttermilk and vesper services! Huh! Do you suppose I've paid two weeks in advance for such a dose? Where's your 'phone?"
I couldn't help watchin' for it every time I passes through the front office, just to see if it had changed any. And it didn't always the same! Then here one day when I has to cook up some tabulated stuff for the Semiannual me and Ruby had a three-hour session together, me readin' off long strings of numbers, and her thumpin' 'em out on the keys.
You kind o' make things uneasy. Wal, that's a fault you'll git over. Mebbe, later on, when a feller gits rilin' you you'll work your gun, instead of trying to thump savee into his head. Heads is mighty cur'us out west here. They're so chock full o' savee, ther' ain't no use in thumpin' more into 'em. Et's a heap easier to let it out. But that's on the side.
Seemed like I'd been asleep for hours and hours, and I believe I was dreamin' that I was being serenaded by a drum corps and that the bass drummer was mistakin' me for the drum and thumpin' me on the ribs, when I woke up and found Vee proddin' me from the next cot. "Torchy!" she's sayin'. "Is that rain?" "Eh?" says I. "No, that's the drum corps." "What?" says she. "Don't be silly.
There's th' same not gettin' up till ye want to, th' same meetin' ye'er frinds f'r th' first time in their good clothes an' th' same thumpin' sthrangers over th' head with a brick. Afther awhile th' main guy comes home fr'm th' seaside, raises wages twinty per cent, fires th' boss an' takes in th' walkin' dillygate as a specyal partner.
But don't forget, when the lecturer says, 'Bosco, Bosco, the armless wonder! play up lively, see? and when he says, 'Bites their heads off and eats their bodies; eats 'em alive, eats 'em alive! give it to her thumpin'!" Here Von Barwig drew a deep breath. He was tired, tired unto his very soul of the whole business; but he had to go on.
Costello finally, "she says you don't give it to her thumpin' enough; she wants ragtime or she can't work." "I will do my best," said the old man simply. "I try hard to please her; indeed I do!" "I know you do, I know you do, profess'! But, say, you can't do anything with them guys! You know I like you, you've got such damned elegant manners the gentleman all over.
"A feller that writes music. I don't know anything about it only what they say. Anyhow, he's brought a pianner with him, and they say he bangs away on it like all possessed, and then stops short and scolds. I went past there, one day, when the windows was open, and I heard him thumpin' and tiddlin' away for dear life.
"Ye want a broad thumpin', I'm thinkin', ye rattle-pate, to risk y'r precious noodle here to-night," he whispered, coming forward and fussing about me with all the maternal anxiety of a hen over her only chicken. "Listen," said I. "The whole mob's coming in." "Go!" he urged, pushing me from the desk over which I still fumbled. "Run for those dogs of mercenaries!" I protested. "Ye swash-buckler!
