"Well, why by the devil haven't you had something else then? what've you been doing with yourselves for 'long while'? what d'ye mean, coming here starved to death, making a fellow sick to look at you?
They had been in the house two months, when one afternoon, as she was slicing potatoes for supper, Jane looked round to see the child standing at the kitchen doorway, looking with a puzzled expression at some wilted flowers she held in her hand. Jane's impression was that she had been coming into the room and had stopped suddenly to look at what she held. "What've you got there, Judy?" she asked.
The woman unhooked her linsey dress, fumbled around in the recesses, and finally produced a soiled and crumpled paper, which, when straightened out, read: "Mrs. Sarah Bolster has permission to pass in and out of the camp of the 200th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. "By order of Col. Quackenbush. "D. L. Blakemore, Lieut. & Adj't." "What've you got in that basket?" asked Si, still hesitating.
Mrs. Berry! what has happened! what has happened!" "My darlin' child!" The bridal Berry gazed at the finger of doleful joy. "I'd forgot all about it! And that's what've made me feel so queer ever since, then! I've been seemin' as if I wasn't myself somehow, without my ring. Dear! dear! what a wilful young gentleman! We ain't a match for men in that state Lord help us!" Mrs.
Why, Mag, you innocent, of course I hadn't. Managers don't give six-year contracts to girl burglars who've never set foot on the stage. When the little man was gone, Obermuller cornered me. "What's your game, Olden?" he cried. "You're too deep for me; I throw up my hands. Come; what've you got in that smart little head of yours? Are you holding out for higher stakes?
Think I've run away from Injianny without pay in' my debts? Think I want to desert my wife and children? Young man, you don't know Josiah Klegg. I've got a quarter section of as good land as there is in the Wabash bottoms, and I don't owe a dollar on it. As for leavin' Maria Klegg, I wouldn't do it for the whole State of Injianny. What've you been lookin' for me for, I'd like to know?"
Tell it to me: what've I got to do?" "Marry," said Kellogg serenely. "Marry!" Duncan echoed, aghast. "Marry," reaffirmed the other with unbroken gravity. "Marry who?" "A girl with a fortune.... You see, I can't guarantee the precise size of her pile. That all depends on luck and the locality. But it'll run anywhere from several hundred thousand up to a million perhaps more."
He cringed as the bruiser stood over him, his big fists clenched and ready to strike. "Get back, Louie," he heard "Slim" order sharply. Louie stepped away from him and "Slim" faced him. "Murphy," said "Slim," speaking slowly, "you've got one chance to get out of this." "What've I done, 'Slim'?" his voice shook. In his terror he could only think of trying to "stall."
A moment later the beat of hoofs became audible as he led the bunch of horses away. For a time there was silence. Then Billy, "By God, Hank, I means to stand in with you, but you let that kid alone, or I plugs you!" "Kid, huh!" grunted Hank. "Alfred a kid! I've hearn tell of him." "What've you heard?" inquired the girl. "He's th' plumb best scout on th' southern trail," replied Black Hank.
And this man his face is old, Mag, old oh! and hard and and tough, cheap and tough. There's something in his eyes now and about his shaven mouth oh, Maggie, Maggie! "Look here, Nance." He caught me by the shoulders, knocking up my chin so that he could look down squarely at me. "What's your graft? What's it to be between us? What've ye been doing all this time? Out with it! I want to know."
