I didn't hear much, but I heard enough to let me know that you'd been takin' money from that girl right along. And I think I know why." "You do, hey?" "Yup." Then Mr. Saunders asked the question that a bigger rascal than he had asked some years before. He leaned back in his chair, took a pull at his cigar, and said sneeringly, "Well, what are you goin' to do 'bout it?"
They found the great bank of stones and gravel, representing the cast-out debris of the old claim, occupied by See Yup and four or five plodding automatic coolies. At the end of two hours the committee returned to the saloon bursting with excitement.
"Humph!" mused Parker, as they came out at the gate. "Humph! She seems sure, doesn't she. And yet she doesn't act like herself. Did you notice that?" "Yup. I noticed it. But I expect Nat's droppin' out of the clouds shook her up, same as it done the rest of us. Well, never mind. She's a bully good, capable woman and what she says she'll do she gen'rally does. I'm bettin' on her. By time!
You're goin' to have dinner here THIS day, if you never do again." John, apparently, had no intention of going away. He smiled once more and walked toward the dining-room. Captain Obed met him at the threshold. "Well?" shouted the captain. "Well? What have you got to say for yourself now, eh?" John laughed. "Not much, Captain," he answered, "not much, except that I've been an idiot." "Yup.
"Yup." They both listened. The girl could now hear the faintest possible rattle of wheels. Suddenly she turned upon him. Her breath was coming quickly. She was smiling, and her eyes were soft under cover of the dim starlight. "Seth, I want you to let me do something. In the old days you used to be my dear old 'daddy. You used to scold me when I did wrong.
The next forenoon, as Azuba was blacking the stove, Gertrude entered the kitchen. "Good-morning, Azuba," she said. "Are you alone?" "Yes, yes, I'm alone." "Where is Hapgood?" "Land knows! Upstairs, lookin' out for that Hungerford man's clothes, I guess likely. He waits on that young critter as if he was the Prince of Wales. What did you think of it?" "Think? I thought Oh, Azuba!" "Yup.
A very common sign on the Chinese houses was: "See Yup, Washer and Ironer"; "Hong Wo, Washer"; "Sam Sing & Ah Hop, Washing." The house servants, cooks, etc., in California and Nevada, were chiefly Chinamen. There were few white servants and no Chinawomen so employed. Chinamen make good house servants, being quick, obedient, patient, quick to learn and tirelessly industrious.
"Me washee shilts; me talkee 'buttons." "Oh! you're See Yup, are you?" "Allee same, John." "Well, come here." I continued my work, but he did not move. "Come here, hang it! Don't you understand?" "Me shabbee, 'comme yea. But me no shabbee Mellican boy, who catchee me, allee same. YOU 'comme yea' YOU shabbee?"
Give me a round trip ticket, will you, Sol?" The depot master retired to the office, returning with the desired ticket. Captain Hiram counted out the price from a confused mass of coppers and silver, emptied into his hand from a blackened leather purse, tied with a string. "How's Sophrony?" asked the depot master. "Pretty smart, I hope." "Yup, she's smart.
He has been spoiled, I should imagine," he said. "Yup," replied the captain, with emphasis; "your imagination's a good one. It don't need cultivatin' any." The novel being out of the way, and its successor not yet far enough advanced in plot or general plan for much discussion, the "literary clinics" were no longer as frequent. But Pearson's visits to the Warren house were not discontinued.
