He sat on the couch and one of his arms clasped a sleeping dog. The floor was littered with wisps of excelsior. "My word, old top, had to have the chap let me into your diggin's you know. You were sleeping like the dead." The waster was bustling and breezy. "Busy," said Bean. He arose and went into the hall where Cassidy stood. "He would have in," explained Cassidy.
Well, then, the old gentleman being worn out with private care, wishful to retire, and seeing a common cheat and waster in the one who ought by nature to succeed him, has offered me to take over the farm, the trade, an' the whole bag of tricks." "But, surely to goodness, Will, you don't think of giving up the post office?" "Yes, I do. I think of that, in any case." "But you love the work."
Free if it is free to be tormented by remorse, to feel cheap, futile, a waster a thing of no account to anyone. If this is freedom it isn't good to be free. No man is happy who comes and goes as he pleases. There must be responsibilities to shoulder, and ties which bind him.
He would go back to Wellsville, which he should never have left. The waster had him in the car outside, a firm grasp on one of his arms. "I'll allow you only one," said the waster judicially as the car moved off. "I know where the chap makes them perfectly brings a mummy back to life " "A mum what mummy?" asked Bean dreamily. "Your own, if you had one, you silly juggins!"
It annoyed him a Chairman of Quarter Sessions for close upon twenty years to be told that the science of criminology was yet in its infancy; and he glanced mischievously at the Canon, who might be supposed to have a professional quarrel with scientific men. But the Canon was a wary fighter and no waster of powder and shot. "Well, well," said he, "I don't see what harm it can do, or what good.
"That blame waster, Black, has come back. Rode in quietly after dark, and none of the boys have set eyes on him," he said; and, noting his master's surprise, he added with a chuckle, "I put him in there for safety, and waited right here to take care of him." Geoffrey went into the shanty, carefully closed the door, and turned somewhat sternly upon the visitor.
"Well, the next day there was a ice-cream man a reg'lar waster, he was. Stuck outside as if he was froze to the pavement. Kept giving the errand-boys tasters, and when I tried to move him on, he told me not to obstruct his business. Business, indeed! Well, there them boys stuck, one after the other, wiping their tongues round the bottoms of them glasses, until I was fit to bust with aggravation.
And stop all this about being a waster. You're not anything of the sort. You're not anything but what you're going to be." "And you really, really, won't go back on it? I make so many promises and break them. I can't believe other people much." "Of course I won't go back on it. I want to stay with you. I never want to be with anyone else at all on earth."
This letter also had a postscript. "Dear Reuben, If ye think that it wad hae been right for me to have said mair and kinder things to ye, just think that I hae written sae, since I am sure that I wish a' that is kind and right to ye and by ye. Ye will think I am turned waster, for I wear clean hose and shoon every day; but it's the fashion here for decent bodies and ilka land has it's ain landlaw.
I sprang from it for my life; and when next I looked behind, it was upon a turbulent loch, the further bank lost in darkness. I was about to shout to Waster Lunny, when a monster rose in the torrent between me and the spot where he had stood. It frightened me to silence until it fell, when I knew it was but a tree that had been flung on end by the flood.
