But a moment later, when the two were walking gingerly over the ice to the spot where Eph had drawn his scooter to a standstill, Samuel fell into a self-congratulatory chuckle. "He didn't find out though that I had my reasons fer leavin' home tew. Women-folks, be it only one, hain't good all the time fer nobody.
"I never thought she'd make it go," remarked his friend. "This business of cent-shops is overdone among the women-folks. My wife tried it, and lost five dollars on her outlay!" "Poor business!" said Dixey, shaking his head. "Poor business!" In the course of the morning, there were various other attempts to open a communication with the supposed inhabitants of this silent and impenetrable mansion.
Marsden was there also, and several of his women-folks, putting down a new carpet on the platform. As they drew near the church, Wallace said: "Why, they've fixed up the sheds!" Mattie nodded. She was trembling with the delicious excitement of it she wanted him hurried into the church at once.
Mathieson, provided he worked at his trade, thought the "women-folks" might look after the house; Barry considered that when he had got through the heavy labours of school, he had done his part of the world's work. So Nettie toiled on with her boxes and barrels.
There was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the women-folks, and some two or three Benedicts looked bluer than brimstone. You know they had counted on a peaceful summer and a good time, and it's particularly rough on those who had fitted up their quarters so handsomely and had young ladies to visit them, like the Raymonds and others.
And SUCH a passel of drownded rats you never see. The women-folks made for their rooms, but the men hopped around the parlor, shedding puddles with every hop, and hollering for us to trot out the head of the Weather Bureau. "Bring him to me," orders Peter, stopping to pick his pants loose from his legs; "I yearn to caress him." And what old Dillaway said was worse'n that.
"Na, na, na; that is the thing I'm feared for I dinna want my name in everybody's lips; and you ken, sir, hoo women-folks talk anent women. They'd say; 'Weel, weel, there's aye fire where there's smoke, and the like o' that, and they wad shake their heads, and look oot o' the corner o' their e'en, and I couldna thole it, sir." "There is David to remember also. Dr. Balmuto thinks with me.
There was no one at home but the captain, who told us cheerfully that he should be pleased to serve us, though his women-folks had gone off to a funeral, the other side of the P'int. He brought out a pitcherful of milk, and after we had drunk some, we all sat down together in the shade.
Nothing you can do anything about. Nothing, I tell you." "We'll see about that!" said Sheridan, harshly. "Now I can't fool with you to-day, and you get up out o' that chair and get out o' my office. You bring your wife to dinner to-morrow. You didn't come last Sunday but you come to-morrow. I'll talk this out with you when the women-folks are workin' the phonograph, after dinner.
Say, when are we goin' to have breakfast, anyhow? It's almost eight o'clock now. Ain't them women-folks EVER goin' to turn out?" Thankful had heard enough. She was out of bed the next instant. "Emily! Emily!" she cried. "It's late. We must get up now." The voices in the sitting-room died to whispers. "I I can't help it," pleaded Kenelm. "I never meant nothin'. I thought they was asleep.
