Emily's face flushed, and had any one been looking at her intently he might have had his doubts whether or not that was the time. She did not answer, however, and before any one had begun the conversation anew, Wobbles entered with a card upon his tray which he delivered to Mr. Maddledock. "Since your Honor is so indulgent," said Mr.
His one friend was Don Cameron, whom the boys called "Wobbles," from his gait in running, whose father's farm backed that of Macdonald Dubh. And though Don was a year older, he gave to Ranald a homage almost amounting to worship, for in all those qualities that go to establish leadership among boys, Ranald was easily first.
"Yes well, if he calls during dinner, Wobbles, you may show him into the office and stay with him, Wobbles, until I come." "Yezzur, hexackly, zur, I see, zur. Dinner is served, zur, but Mr. Torbert be not come. Shall I tell Miss Emily?" "Yes, to be sure. How absurd of Torbert! Why, it's quite late. When I go into the parlor, which will be in another minute, Wobbles you may announce dinner."
"That will do, Wobbles and yet, stay. Did you ask his name?" "Yezzur. Hi did, zur, and 'e says, sezee, 'Chops, sezee, 'you need more salt, sezee, 'go back to the gridiron, sezee." "Well, that's curious," said Mr. Maddledock; "was he sober?" "'E 'med be in cups, zur, but they be quiet uns."
"The old boy," he said, as he stood with his hand upon the door-knob, "made everything you see here, everything," and we entered. He drew my attention to the wardrobe. "Now I will hold it up," he said, "while you pull the door open; I think the floor must be a bit uneven, it wobbles if you are not careful." It wobbled notwithstanding, but by coaxing and humouring we succeeded without mishap.
"Shorty," gasped Si, "if you tell any more such stories as that this log'll certainly sink. See it how it wobbles now." "I consider such stuff very discourteous to your officer," said the Lieutenant stiffly. "I shall make a note of it for consideration at some future time." "Halt! Who goes thar?" rang out sharply from the bank. "Hush; don't breathe," said Shorty.
It seemed a plausible hypothesis and satisfied me for a time, but still not altogether, and now I believe I have made a discovery." "And it is?" "That Venus is a wobbler." "A wobbler?" "That she wobbles that she doesn't keep steady swings from side to side. You have seen a top, how stiff and erect it is when it is spinning fast, and how it wobbles when it is spinning slow, just before it falls.
Birchard came into the Bronx office with much smiling, presented his credentials duly signed by each of the five Wobbles brothers, received a check for a million dollars made out, by the written instructions of the brothers, to Frederick W. Birchard, Agent, and departed still smiling. "One step nearer," observed Johnny to Loring an hour or so later.
Cinch is floating with him, and whatever else he may be in harmony with he is certainly in harmony with her. He wobbles and toddles up and down just as he used to do, but never a word does he hear to the prejudice of his legs. And whether they be as crooked as a ram's horn or as straight as a rifle-barrel, he can't see them and she won't so what's the odds, anyhow?
"No, Suky, it's gole yallow gole, di 'plexion ob yer own fair han'. But, law! dis ain' nuffin ter what I'se 'll git yer. Yer'se shall hab rings an' dresses an' jules till yer 'stinguish de oder gals like de sun put out de stars." "What yer foun', Jeff Wobbles?" "I'se foun' what'll make yer a lady if yer hab sense.
