Uncle Noah laid a wrinkled brown hand upon the nearest chair for support. "We have a live turkey in stock," ended the Colonel firmly, looking squarely into the trembling negro's eyes. Uncle Noah's heart gave a convulsive leap. The thunderbolt had fallen!
"Poor Jacoba!" exclaimed Doña Pomposa; "her stern heart is heavy this day. But she has such a sense of her duty, Anastacia. Only that makes her so stern." "O-h-h-h, y-e-e-s." When Aunt Anastacia was preoccupied or excited, these words came from her with a prolonged outgoing and indrawing. "I must ask her for the recipe for those cakes the lard ones, Anastacia. I have lost it." "O-h-h, y-e-e-s.
Parmalee's intimate friend, then, it appears?" "Y-e-e-s." "Was he only a friend? He was a young man, and an unmarried one, as I am given to understand, and you, Miss Silver, are pardon my boldness a very handsome young lady." Miss Silver's handsome face drooped lower. She made no reply. "Answer, if you please," blandly insinuated the lawyer.
The loungers in the store had strolled out on the porch. "Mis' Cullum cert'n'y is a sister in Zion," remarked Mr. Trimble, gazing admiringly at her retreating figure. "M-m-m y-e-e-s," admitted Mr. Pinson. "But," he added, darkly, after a meditative pause, "Sissy Cullum is a wife, an' the women o' Jim-Nez, ez wives, air liable to conniptions." Mrs.

"You have given your evidence hitherto with most unfeminine and admirable straightforwardness. Don't let us have a hitch now. Was this Mr. Parmalee a suitor of yours?" "He was." "An accepted one, I take it?" "Y-e-e-s." "And you know nothing now of his whereabouts? That is strange." "It is strange, but no less true than strange. I have never seen or heard of Mr.

"'Babe," he said quietly, "the train goes back Chicago-way in the morning." The other blinked and gulped. "W'y, w'y " he began. "You take it," continued Lounsbury.

"Y-e-e-s. But you see some girls like getting married. There's something in the word that appeals to them." "You seem to think that a girl would jump at the chance of marrying you!" said Nora with rising temper. "She might do worse." "I must say I think you flatter yourself." "Oh, I don't know. I know my job, and there ain't too many as can say that. I've got brains." "What makes you think so?"
