"That's so," Tony replied. "But there were only the two, and I left Gleeson's where it was." "It's right into our hands," Peters went on. "We were just yarning about it as soon as we saw there was gold in the creek." "Tucker, lad, tucker," Palmer Billy interrupted. "We're going to work along the creek while the stores last, but there's only enough for a few days, and we were wondering.
I wuz leadin' up ter it gradooal, fer what I'm goin' ter relate if thet yap will choke off on thet moosical snore " "Here, wake up, you're snoring so loud we can't hear ourselves holler," said Kit, reaching over and shaking Ben. "I can't keep awake while that fellow persists in yarning away like a fanning machine. It's so monotonous I can't keep awake," and Ben stretched and yawned.
There was a window in it, opposite the laundry window in the old place, and the first thing I did was to take out the sash. I'd noticed Jack yarning with 'Possum before he started work.
"Either that, or you're yarning tremendously about its being a bore: you can take your choice." "I leave it with you," said Symington wearily. "That Glover girl is probably cooling her heels on the bank, and I must go." "Alas, my brother! it is long since one of those Glover girls captured me!" The victim was a little late for his engagement, but no indignant Glover girl lay in wait for him.
Leo Ulford stretched out his long legs slowly, his type's way of purring. "I'd rather have gone on yarning with you." "Then you did have a talk! She was at my house to-night, looking quite delicious. You know she's conquered London?" "That sort's up to every move on the board." "What do you mean? What board?" She looked at him with innocent inquiry.
'Well, said I, 'you make too much noise over it for my taste, Mr. Massy. Good morning. He banged the door after him; he dared to bang my door, confound his cheek!" The head of the Marine department was out of breath with indignation; then recollecting himself as it were, "I'll end by being late to dinner yarning with you here . . . wife doesn't like it."
I must have made a movement of impatience, because he interrupted himself with an apology for keeping me yarning there, while no doubt I needed all my time to get ready. What I really needed was to be alone for a bit. I seized this opening hastily. My bedroom was a quiet refuge in an apparently uninhabited wing of the building. To the unexpected influences. . . .
At the next pause in the yarning, I inquired why a wild turkey always deceived itself by hiding its head and leaving the body exposed. "That it's a fact, we all know," volunteered Uncle Lance, "but the why and wherefore is too deep for me. I take it that it's due to running to neck too much in their construction. Now an ostrich is the same way, all neck with not a lick of sense.
"How much was that?" asked the other, contemptuously. "At the rate of seven dollars and a half a full week," answered Dick. Ferd whistled to signify his skepticism. "You're yarning, Dick. I don't believe he gave you half that. Anyhow, I'm dead sure dad'll never think of paying such big wages.
When consciousness came back it brought the sound of Yagorsha's yarning by the fire, and the occasional laugh or grunt punctuating the eternal "Story." The Colonel was sitting there among them, solacing himself by adding to the smoke that thickened the stifling air.
