He fairly danced with delight. "Henry Kellogg, Esquire!" he cried, holding him at arms' length and looking him over. "What in thunderation are you doing here?" Kellogg freed himself, only to seize both Nat's hands and squeeze them violently. "Wanted to see you," he replied, beaming. "On my way to Cincinnati on business thought I'd drop off for a night and size you up.
On her writing-desk my mother has three little monkeys carved in ivory. One has his hands clapped to his ears, one to his eyes, and the other to his mouth. Their names are "Hear no Evil," "See no Evil," and "Speak no Evil." I have to pass her door to get to my room. But late at night that door is never left ajar. "What in thunderation started you last night?" said my father at breakfast.
Thankful, I Oh, thunderation! What is the matter with me? Thankful, let ME take care of you, will you?" Thankful rose to her feet. "Obed Bangs!" she exclaimed. "I mean it. I've been meanin' it more and more ever since I first met you, but I ain't had the spunk to say it. Now I'm goin' to say it if I keel over on the last word. Thankful, why don't you marry me?" Thankful was speechless.
"In a cloud of dust and the sun blazin' down on him like thunderation, I don't know but you're right, Nath." "Git out!" replied Nath, placidly. "He's a curi's-actin' feller, anyway. Don't go nowhar nor hev nothin' to say to nobody. Jest sets right down in that thar holler with his wife, as if b'ars an' painters wus all a man or woman wanted round 'em."
It was a sort of yu-scratch-my-back-an'-I'll-scratch-yourn arrangement." "Well, if they still hangs out together, I know where to hunt for our cows," responded Pie. "Th' Deacon used to range along th' headwaters of th' Colorado it ain't far from Cunningham Lake. Thunderation!" he shouted, "I knows th' very ground they're on I can take yu to th' very shack!"
He discovered his mistake, and was about to trade back, when I happened to think of what a splendid chance I had for making a little raise. As he handed me my hat I said: "Thunderation! Do you suppose I am going to let you give me back my hat with that big grease-spot on it? Not much, sir. Have you been down in some grocer's cellar with my hat on?
"You can be any kind of a pote you want to," said the selectman, promptly. "And I'll tell you right here and now, I don't give a continental thunderation about your programmy or your speech-makers not even if you go dig up old Dan'l Webster and set him on the stand. I didn't start this thing, and I ain't approvin' of it.
"Doggone, Eva, that's no way to do! He might 'a' fired through the winder at me." "But he's in the house by this time, if it was a robber," she whispered. "He wouldn't stand out on the porch all night." "That's right," he whispered in reply. "You're a good deducer, after all. I wish I had my dark lantern. Thunderation!" He stubbed his toe against the sewing machine.
"All right. It was pretty dark." "I'll bet you! Laban wasn't very talkative, was he?" "Why, yes, sir, he talked a good deal but he sang most of the time." This simple statement appeared to cause a most surprising sensation. The Snows and their housekeeper looked at each other. Captain Zelotes leaned back in his chair and whistled. "Whew!" he observed. "Hum! Sho! Thunderation!"
Lumley will know what's afoot as quick as Collins can get word to him. We've got to act quick. There's a detail of state constabulary at Ironton, and they could get here in a motor in thirty minutes if I could only telephone them. Why in thunderation did I ever leave the office without my portable instrument? The nearest 'phone is at Jim Morton's.
