They came back, five minutes later, looking grave and seriously alarmed. "What's happened?" asked Mrs. Trent, foreboding fresh trouble, since, of late, trouble had become so familiar a visitor. "Well, ma'am, the bird has flown." "Please explain, Samson," she anxiously urged. "That bird of dark plumage Ferd, the dwarf. He's escaped, vamoosed, took wings and flew." "Oh, Samson! I'm so sorry.
""Vamoosed, where at?" pursoos Easy Aaron. ""Por el inferno!" says the Mexican; he's got his cigarette lighted, an' is puffin' as contented as hoss-thieves. "See thar, Amigo!" goes on the Greaser, indicatin' down the street. "'Easy Aaron gazes where the Mexican p'ints, an' his heart turns to water.
"He protected me," she said. "It was while defending me that he was wounded." Her eyes searched the physician's face. "Where," she questioned fearfully, "is " "McTurpin?" returned the doctor. "Lord knows. He vamoosed, absquatulated. You'll hear no more of him, I think, Miss Windham."
You'd think after I gave Gungadhura the key and all, he'd have the courtesy to use it and draw the nails! His head can't ache enough to suit me! Me for the princess! If I'd any scruples, believe me, bo, they're vanished gone Vamoosed! That young woman's going to win against the whole darned outfit, English, Indian and all! Me for her! Chamu! Where's Chamu? Why aren't the lamps lit?"
You may well ask how did he quit? Say" the old man clutched Kiddie's arm in consternation "d'you reckon he's vamoosed on th' Arab mare?" Kiddie shook his head decisively. "That's not possible," he averred. "For one thing, he could hardly have mounted her with that bullet wound in his leg. For another thing, the mare's still safe in the stable where I locked her.
Yu are th' gents with th' hot-foot get-a-way that vamoosed when we got Tamale." Curses were flung at him and only the humorous mood he was in saved trouble. One, bolder than the rest, spoke up: "The senor will not see any 'hot-foot get-a-way, as he calls it, now! The senor was not wise to go so far away from his friends!"
"Well it's good to know that, anyhow. But wait until the Pike's vamoosed again, and we'll make up such a column of smoke that it'll be seen for many a mile. In fact, I'll go and gather a lot of dried stuff now you two can drag those boxes and things up the beach and see what our gaolers have been good enough to send us."
McDonald seemed to be inclined to think that it was a bull and that I ought to shoot. So I shot, and knocked splinters out of the spruce log. We could see them fly. The animal got up quickly, and looked at us for a moment, shaking her long ears; then the huge unmitigated cow vamoosed into the brush.
Have you arrested him?" "Nick's vamoosed," resumed the sheriff; "an' that goes against him. He was sure in Laramie Saturday night even in Brierley's saloon. He knew about Sanson T. Wrangler's pile o' money bein' fixed up in the safe. He wasn't anyways friendly disposed to Sanson T. neither. Thar's a heap of evidence pointin' straight to Nick Undrell.
After a while his mother put her head in the door and asked if I was asleep, and then came in and kissed me. About two o'clock he came back, climbed in the window, and I vamoosed. It seemed all right, and I couldn't have refused him, and yet I felt queer." "I should think you were innocent enough. It seems to me the other boy had all the responsibility of it," Elsie observed.
