"And the cabin is more comfortable for that girl when he brings her there to run over Marthy!" "Well, what of it? You don't expect him to put in his time for nothing, do you? In the last analysis we're all self-centered brutes, Wilhemina. We're thinking once for the other fellow and twice for ourselves, always.
Say, Wilhemina, if I stay away long enough, will you come after me again?" "A wise man," said Billy Louise evasively, "may do a foolish thing once, but only a fool does it twice." "I don't believe it's the dog." Ward shook his head at her in mock meditation. "It wouldn't last overnight, if it was just the dog." He looked at her with the hidden smile. "Are you sure "
And she "liked him to pieces"; she had said so. Ward laughed a little in spite of his throbbing leg. "Some other girl would have said, 'Ward, I lo-ove you," he grinned. "Wilhemina is different." He lay there looking up at the stars and thinking, thinking. Once his lips moved. He was saying "Wilhemina-mine" softly to himself. His eyes, shining in the starlight, were very tender.
I I was hoping," she added shyly, "that we could sit in front of our own fireplace, Ward, and have nice cozy evenings; but -well, there always seems to be something for me to do for somebody, Ward." "Oh, you Wilhemina!" Ward slipped his arm around her, to the disgust of Rattler and Blue, and made shift to kiss her twice.
Willis Williams of 1025 Iverson Street, Jacksonville, Florida, was born at Tallahassee, Florida, September 15, 1856. He was the son of Ransom and Wilhemina Williams, who belonged during the period of slavery to Thomas Heyward, a rich merchant of Tallahassee.
The tone of Billy Louise was not far from petulant. "Not a reason. What's molla, Bill?" "Nothing that I know of." Billy Louise lifted her eyes to the rock cabbages on the cliff above them and tried to speak convincingly. "Yes, there is. Something's gone wrong. Can't you tell a pal, Wilhemina?" There was no resisting that tone.
She wanted eggs, and bread for toast, and fresh cream; but she did not have them, and so she managed a very creditable breakfast for her patient without these desirables. "Say, that's great. A fellow doesn't appreciate coffee and warm food until he's eaten out of cans and boxes for a month or so. You're a great little lady, Wilhemina. I wish you'd happened along sooner about six weeks sooner.
I couldn't quite get hold of the thing yesterday that gave me the blues but it's Marthy. She's grieving, or something. She's different. She's changed more since last winter than she's changed since I can remember. You noticed something at least you spoke about her coming up the gorge " "I said she thinks a lot of you, Wilhemina." Ward's tone and manner were natural again.
Gotta have four times as much meadow as I've got now, and a house full of books and pictures and things, and more cattle and horses, and a yellow canary in a yellow cage singing his head off out on the porch. Gotta work like one son-of-a-gun, Wilhemina, to get all those things and get 'em quick, so I can stand some show of getting what I really do want." "Well, am I keeping you?"
"About the way the world was made." Ward loosened his clasp a little and looked down deep into her eyes. "My world, I mean." He bent and kissed her again, gravely and very, very tenderly. "Oh, Wilhemina, you know " he waited, gazing down with that intent look which had a new softness behind it "you know there's nothing in this world but you. As far as I'm concerned, there isn't.
