He's so busy followin' her motions that he don't even know when I leans in within six inches of him and whispers. So I has to give him the gentle prod. "Eh!" says he, whirlin' around. "Why, what the Torchy!" "Uh-huh," says I. "Crawl out backwards, can't you?" "Wha what's that!" says he, whisperin' sort of husky. "You got to do it," says I. "I was sent up special to get you."
Then down he flops onto his knees in the snow, prayin' like the prayin' like mad, you understan', and callin' on the blessed Virgin to save little Patsy, who was just gittin' good with his drum-major act and whirlin' a fake musket and also little Joseph, who was learnin' to do some card-tricks that wasn't so bad.
There was a crack, the crack o' doom, sure enough, for Pretty Quick, an' one o' the logs le'p' right out an' struck him jest where he stood, with his axe in the air, blasphemin'. The jam kind o' melted an' crumbled up, an' in a second Pretty Quick was whirlin' in the white water. He never riz, at least where we could see him, an' we did n't find him for a week.
"Wherever it came from, it's a wicked-lookin' cuss," said Bud. "But what wuz ther feller goin' ter explore yer with it fer?"

Belike himself persaived I was flusthered, for, 'Take your time, sez he; and after a while they stood steady enough.
He was passin' along the end of the field when the gang was practicin', and the ball come his way. He caught it on the fly, and sent it back with his toe.

"Yer white sun-bonnet plumb off an' a-hangin' down on yer shoulders, an' yer yaller hair all a-blowsin' at loose eends, stiddier bein' plaited up stiff an' tight an' personable, an' yer face burned pink in the sun, stiddier like yer skin ginerally looks, fine an' white ez a pan o' fraish milk, an' the flabby, slinksy skirt o' that yaller calico dress 'thout no starch in it, a-flappin' an' whirlin' in the wind shucks!
