But step into the cave and if it's who you think it is you can count on me till the hair slips." Wiley stepped in quietly, strapping on his belt and pistol, and then the Colonel burst into a roar. "It's Charley," he cried, leaping nimbly to his feet and putting up his gun. "Come on, boy here's where we get that drink!"
Once when he was on his way to draw what was due him, he fell in with Colonel Wiley Pope, his neighbor, who was also journeying to Savannah. They were very intimate and social on the road, and until they found themselves in the streets of Savannah.
"The dastard!" cursed Wiley, leaping furiously to his feet and reaching for his rifle, but though he scanned the line through his high-power field-glasses there was not a man in sight. Wiley ran down to the shed and got out his racer that had lain there idle for months, but as his motor began to thunder, a head popped up and he saw Stiff Neck George on the ridge.
In the orchard had assembled, besides the children, a group of their ex-teachers Miss Semple and her sister, the village dressmakers, Miss Genet, the daughter at the post-office, and the two Miss Mittens well-behaved and well-instructed young persons whom Mr. Wiley's predecessors had been pleased to employ, but for whom Mrs. Wiley found no encouragement.
"Umm," responded Wiley, squinting his eyes down shrewdly, "how much would that come to, in all?" "Well, twenty-one thousand, eight hundred dollars, for what I received from Mrs. Huff; but of course well, he'd have to buy a little more of me in order to get positive control." "How much more?" asked Wiley, but Blount's crooked mouth pulled down in a crafty smile.
"Yes, I heard about it," answered Wiley sourly, "and then you told the Widow." "Oh, no, I didn't!" exulted Charley. "She'd've killed you, sure as shooting. I just told Virginny, that's all." "Oh!" observed Wiley, and lay so still that Charley regarded him intently. His eyes were blue and staring like a newborn babe's, but behind their look of childlike innocence there lurked a crafty smile.
Alcestis came to his senses in ten or fifteen minutes, and seemed as bright as usual: with a kind of added swagger at being the central figure in a dramatic situation. "I wonder you hedn't stove your brains out, when you landed so turrible suddent on that rock at the foot of the bank," said Mr. Wiley to him.
Thode, but Billie told me you intended to pay us a little visit." "It was a pleasure," the other responded with sincerity. "It has been coming to Wiley for a long time. But your daughter had the situation well in hand. She is a remarkable young woman." "She is an honest one, honest with herself and the world.

"Well, go ahead then," burst out Wiley defiantly, "if that's the way you feel all I took was one can of tomatoes!" "Yes! One can! Wasn't that all I had? And you robbed me before, you rascal!" "I did not!" retorted Wiley, and as the old man looked him over he hesitated and lowered his gun. "Say, who are you, anyway?" he asked at last and glanced swiftly at Wiley's tracks in the sand.
