Not a drop since you and I enlisted together. . . . Oh, she knows about it now," he added, with a jerk of his head in the housekeeper's direction. "I felt 'twas fairly safe and settled, so I told her. I told her. Yes, yes, yes. Um-hm, so I did." Albert turned to the lady. "You should be very proud of him, Rachel," he said seriously.
How much, think likely?" "Oh, I don't know. Ten dollars, perhaps." "Um-hm . . . I see. . . . Well, that's pretty good, considerin', I suppose. . . . We did first-rate on that Hyannis school-house contract, didn't we. Nigh's I can figger it we cleared over fourteen hundred and eighty dollars on that."
"Yes yes, indeed. Don't take me long to eat not at my boardin' house. A feller'd have to have paralysis to make eatin' one of Lindy Dadgett's meals take more'n a half hour. Um-hm yes." Despite his preoccupation, Captain Zelotes could not help smiling. "To make it take an hour he'd have to be ossified, wouldn't he, like the feller in the circus sideshow?" he observed. Laban nodded.
I'm just kind of loony, I guess. Please excuse me, Mr. Bangs." "Yes, yes, Primmie, of course of course. Don't cry, that's all. But what is this? Do I understand you to say that Miss Phipps has ah DISCHARGED you?" "Um-hm. That's what she's done. I'm canned. And I don't know where to go and and I don't want to go anywheres else. I want to stay here along of her." She burst into tears again.
I could see no use in repeating my conversation with Captain Jed. Dorinda nodded. "Goin' to tell the town to go where you sent the other one?" she asked, dryly. "I don't know." "Humph! Well," with some sarcasm, "it must be fine to be in a position where money's no object. I never tried it, myself, but it sounds good." I did not answer. "Um-hm," she said.
"Um-hm. I'd like to have a tintype of Isaiah's face. Well, sis er, Mary-'Gusta, I mean there's South Harniss dead ahead. How do you like the looks of it?" They had emerged from a long stretch of woods and were at the summit of a little hill.
"Sittin' on the stairs there, listenin', wan't you?" Lute raised himself to his knees. "I think," he panted, "I I swan! I shouldn't wonder if I'd broke my leg!" "Um-hm! Well, if you'd broke your neck 'twouldn't have been no more'n you deserve. Shame on you! Sneakin' thing!" "Now, Dorindy, I I wan't listenin'. I was just " "Don't talk to me. Don't you open your mouth.
I have read that it is, somewhere in one of Barrie's yarns, I think. I had never been in Scotland, or much of anywhere else, except the city I was born in, and my college town, and Boston and Cape Cod. "Um-hm" meant yes on the Cape, too, except when Dorinda said it; then it might mean almost anything. When Mother asked her to lower the window shade in the bed-room she said "Um-hm" and lowered it.
"Um-hm," interrupted the captain, "Cut Short bonds and the like of that. I know. Excuse me. Go on." "Yes. Precisely. And there were many just as valueless. But we have been gradually getting those out of the way and listing and appraising the remainder. It was a tangle. Your brother's business methods, especially of late years, were decidedly unsystematic and slipshod.
There, at least, I had not behaved like a "fool Rube." There I had compelled respect and been taken seriously. Dorinda spoke again. "You ain't asked who your other caller was," she observed. "Was there another?" "Um-hm. I told you there was two. After Cap'n Jed left that chauffeur feller from the big house come here. He fetched a note for you. Here 'tis." I took the note.
