Owen heard Max laughing softly to himself. "What does it all mean, Max?" he whispered, as he heard Steve begin to breathe regularly once more. "Tell you in the morning," replied the other. "Too long a story for now. Besides, I want Steve to be around at the time, you see." "That's mean of you," grumbled the disappointed one. "Can't help it; go to sleep and don't worry, Owen."
He used to worry a good deal, in his last years, about me. Seemed to feel that he hadn't taken me around and done as much for me as he ought to in the days when he could. 'Twas just nonsense, his feelin' that way, and I told him so. But I wonder if he knows now how happy I am. I hope he does. My goodness! I can't realize it myself. Oh, there goes the curtain up again! Oh, ain't that pretty!
Unlike his successor, nothing could worry him Bill Scott, on the other hand, took his telephones very seriously. Till the day he went home we pulled his leg about his 'phones. Ormy was a great fellow. The less he knew about a subject, the more advice he would give and would argue the point ad nauseam. He was reading Law at the time perhaps that is why.
We can build a real place there, and go in on equal terms if we have money enough and I will have money enough," he added, after a moment's pondering. "Never fear. I'll make millions here, whether they want me to or not, and after that well, after that, we'll see what we'll see. Don't worry. I haven't seen many troubles in this world that money wouldn't cure."
"Did you hear what he said come back to Menard County to be buried with his folks and all his folks gone. How does a feller live when he comes to that? Nothin' to do, nowhere really to go. Skeeters, sometimes I wisht I was dead. Even this treasure business, as much fun as it is, is just a never endin' trouble and worry.
"Our names?" Ann flushed nervously. "Oh, you can't I mean " "Don't worry," he said soothingly. "I shan't enter us under our own names, of course. What do you say to Smith nice, inoffensive sort of name, don't you think? 'G. Smith and sister' I think that'll meet the necessities of the case." Ann giggled suddenly. "It's all rather funny if it wasn't so so " "Improper," supplied Tony obligingly.
He bade good-bye to Edith and to Nan not looking into Nan's face at all. Then he left with the brother, and Mr. Tom was silent, for his friend King seemed much disturbed about something, and he did not wish to worry him. As for Madge, she chose to work herself into a pretty passion, though she said nothing.
"What is wrong?" asked Norman of Torn, noticing her increasing perturbation. "Mon Dieu!" she cried. "Can I be wrong! Surely this is the room. Oh, my friend, that I should have brought you to all this by my willfulness and vanity; and now when I might save you, my wits leave me and I forget the way." "Do not worry about me," laughed the Devil of Torn.
Out of sight was out of mind! And now she was coming back. Another worry! And the Bolderby Old Crome was gone Dumetrius had got it all because that anonymous letter had put it out of his thoughts. He furtively remarked the strained look on his daughter's face, as if she too were gazing at a picture that she couldn't buy. He almost wished the War back. Worries didn't seem, then, quite so worrying.
Was it permissible to describe the smell of chloride-of-lime in the trenches, or would that discourage recruiting? One of the censors working late at night, with lines of worry on his forehead and little puckers about his eyes, turned to me with a queer laugh, one night in the early days. He was an Indian Civil Servant, and therefore, by every rule, a gentleman and a charming fellow.
