For two hours my patients seemed afraid of me, and it did seem too bad to merge that giantess of the bean-pole and the press and the tall woman of the platform both in poor little insignificant me! It was like blotting out the big bear and the middle-sized bear from the old bear story, and leaving only the one poor little bear to growl over his pot of porridge.
"You'll wake me up then Jule, won't you?" asked the little fellow pleadingly. Mrs. Kurd had come running at the repeated summons of Aunt Ninette, just as Battiste had gone to save the patriarchs of the flood with his bean-pole; and when she reached her, the tumult was stilled. "Did you hear that, Mrs. Kurd? It was frightful! Everything is quiet now, and I hope they are saved!"
There had been a time when she bemoaned the fact that she was tall "regular bean-pole" her brother had taunted her with being and Grace well, she had slapped him. But this was some years ago. But now, with the newer styles that seem to forbid the existence of hips, and with skirts that so circumscribe the steps that fast walking is impossible, Grace fitted in perfectly.
"There will be love-making," she replied, "wherever you go, King Jurgen. And there will be women to listen. And at the last there will be a bean-pole of a woman, in a wig." "I am sorry " he said. "And yet I have loved you, Chloris." "That is my comfort now. And presently there will be Lethe. I put the greater faith in Lethe.
Nothing could be seen so far up there in the dark, but feathers came fluttering down, and the old peacock was squalling, "Tap-pee-yaw!" over and over. We fixed a lantern on the end of a long bean-pole and thrust it high up. Its light revealed those two young bears on one of the high beams of the barn!
Instead of darting back, as a sparrow, for instance, would have done, he flew up to the nearest perch; that is, to the top of the nearest bean-pole, which happened to be a lath. Wood is one of the precious metals on Cape Cod, and if oars are used for fence-rails, and fish-nets for hen-coops, why not laths for bean-poles? The perch was narrow, but wide enough for the bird's small feet.
Vesty was there with the rest, munching a slice of angel-cake fit food for her! I smiled kindly upon her, but did not forget that I was an indifferent bean-pole. "Major!" cried the Basin, toward the close of the repast, with its mouth sweet and full "Major, a speech! a speech!"
He'd do something, he didn't know what; and all the morning he went about the house like a madman, swearing at his wife, because she wasn't up to snuff, and couldn't hoe her own with the 'ristocrats; swearing at Billy because he was a fool, and so small that 'twas no wonder a bean-pole like Jerrie wouldn't look at him, and swearing at Ann Eliza because her hair was so red, and because she had sprained her ankle for the sake of having Tom Tracy bring her home, hoping he would keep calling to see her, and thus give her a chance to rope him in, which she never could as long as the world stood.
I don't amount to much; all the same I have a soul in me, and not just vapor! Why do you stand up as stiff as a bean-pole? Fomínishna, go tell them to heat up the samovar. USTÍNYA NAÚMOVNA. I've had my tea, I've had it, my jewel; may I perish on the spot if I haven't; and I've just dropped in for a moment. AGRAFÉNA KONDRÁTYEVNA. What are you loafing about for, Fomínishna?
Dazzled, I turned away from the refulgent keenness of his wink. But I did not take the direction that wink had indicated. I had an invitation, not from Vesty, but from the two most ancient of the Basins to tea, and I stopped in, a solitary and thoughtful bean-pole, at Captain Pharo's on the way. The music-box was playing.
