"You just set tight and watch the spring blossoms come. Jerkline Jo never failed man nor horse nor dog in her life, and she ain't forgot you for a second. You bet your last dime on Jerkline Jo, ol'-timer and Wild Cat, too, s'far's that goes. They'll ramble home in time to save you. I'll bet my bank roll on it!" "Only ten days more," Tweet sighed heavily. "Oh, papa, what pretty fireworks you made!
He only cries, "Tweet, tweet," and then perches himself near the grating, flutters his wings, pecks a feather from one of them, puffs himself out, and sets his feathers on end round his breast and throat. The bad, chained man looks at him, and a more gentle expression comes into his hard face.
"And Mamsie will never be glad for me, unless I learn how to do things too. If I don't hurry, I shall never be grown up." "Tweet tweet ch-r-r-r" Cherry in his cage over her head, chirped vigorously by way of consolation, but Phronsie did not lift her head. Cherry seeing all his efforts in vain, stopped his song and rolled one black eye down at her in astonishment, and soon became quite still.
Again her skin grew faintly pink. "Good business! Go to it! Every little bit helps. Well, congratulations, Lucy. So long! C'm on, Hiram." "Thanks." Lucy laughed, and went into her little room. Hiram sighed boyishly, upset the toothpick holder at his elbow, and fled in Mr. Tweet's wake. "Pretty nifty little kid," Tweet remarked, as Hiram joined him. "You know her wh-what's her name?"
Besides, when Twitter-or-Tweet Tweet gets his nose to a trail, he's one old hound that don't bark his head off see? There'll be other bright young promoters lookin' for the secret, and I've learned to keep my mouth shut. "Now," he went on, "when I get over there and have a little look-see, I may decide to beat it out pronto and start the clockworks.
Once when I turned that way I saw, as I thought, a stake, and then something moved upon it, a bird of some kind. And what an enormous beak! I raised my field-glass. It was the heron. His body was the post, and his head was the bird. Meanwhile, the sandpiper has stolen away, I know not when or where. He must have omitted the tweet, tweet, with which ordinarily he signalizes his flight.
Can you beat it? So they call me Twitter-or-Tweet, or just Twitter or sometimes Playmate. I'm gregarious. I gotta have a partner all the time. I'll play with any o' the little boys so long as they're nice to me." He handed Hiram a card. It read: ORR TWEET "That Cucamonga Development Company and the milk-and-honey business is passé," explained Mr. Tweet, "but I've got no other card.
The trucks are comin' in." The three went out and joined the head skinner, who pointed far over the shimmering desert at three dots moving along from the mountains toward the Washburn-Stokes camp. "Poor fish!" Tweet said disgustedly. "They don't know what's in store for 'em. Next trip they make, probably, Ragtown and the big camp will be on Paloma Rancho, and then they're blocked." Mr.
Not until the conversation worked around to the mountain-road franchise did Jerkline Jo realize that, in befriending Orr Tweet, she had enlisted an ally who would and could help her. "Why, we've got 'em by the tail, girl!" he cried. "Just keep on payin' what they ask till Ragtown moves down here, which will happen as soon as Demarest gets settled.
"Good stuff!" commented Tweet. "And he fell for it, did he?" She flipped out her palms in a little gesture. "I'm here, ain't I? Waited table from seven to three last night, and came behind the counter here at five-thirty this morning. The boss'll relieve me at twelve o'clock. Guess I'll sleep some to-night!" "Fine business! Makin' good, eh?" "I'm not fired yet, am I?" Her white teeth flashed.
