There was absolute silence for a minute; then he said: "So if you go, I guess I'll go, too, mister." "For a thousand dollars?" "Fur nawthin'," he muttered "or what you like." "All right, Billy," I said, briskly; "just look over those rifles and ammunition and see that everything's sound." He slowly lifted his tough young face and gave me a doglike glance.
So, knowing his duty, perhaps taught it by bitter experience and dogs have long memories he tried his best in his doglike way to do his duty. Mr Ross's train followed next. They were jet-black in colour, and were large, magnificent dogs. They were so trained that they as readily responded to his calls as a good horse does to the pulling of the reins.
Little protection was this poor oaf with the scars of his master's whip upon him, but Geraldine had seen a doglike devotion light up the dull eyes in those few minutes up in her room, and in spite of the dwarf's hopeless words she felt that she had one friend in this place of desolation.
Chiefly and particularly her thoughts were filled with hatred of Sor Tommaso, and a sort of doglike longing to see Dalrymple's face before she died. She was still fascinated by the vision of his red hair and bright blue eyes which came back to her vividly, with the careless smile his hard face had for her half-childish, half-malicious sayings.
The nigger barber, Berry, was one; another was the Jack-of-all-trades, Osterhaut, a kind of municipal odd-man, with the well-known red hair, the face that constantly needed shaving, the blue serge shirt with a scarf for a collar, the suit of canvas in the summer and of Irish frieze in the winter; the pair of hands which were always in his own pocket, never in any one else's; the grey eye, doglike in its mildness, and the long nose which gave him the name of Snorty.
Minna was so certain of her happiness at the end of each hurried little phrase her voice sounded like a chord like three strings sounding at once on some strange instrument. And soon afterwards Emma had told her very gravely, with Clara walking a little aloof, her doglike eyes shining as she gazed into the distance, of a "most beautiful man" with a brown moustache, with whom Clara was in love.
"They don't seem to want us to talk outside, but his interference is as good as my talking they can trace it, of course. Now I'll see what I can find out about our breakfast." He stepped over to the plate and shot its projector beam forward into the control room, where he saw Nerado lying, doglike, at his instrument panel.
Sebastian's affection for his master was doglike and he had taken his punishment as a dog takes his, more in surprise than in anger, but at this proof of callous indifference a fire kindled in the old fellow's breast, hotter by far than the fever from his fly- blown scores. He was thirsty, too, but that was the least of his sufferings.
A wandering mule, released from his pack, had cropped the scant herbage beside him, and sniffed curiously at the prostrate man; a vagabond dog, with that deep sympathy which the species have for drunken men, had licked his dusty boots, and curled himself up at his feet, and lay there, blinking one eye in the sunlight, with a simulation of dissipation that was ingenious and doglike in its implied flattery of the unconscious man beside him.
She had no time for it. "Tommy," she said, "I've been thinking. I've got to earn more money, and I want your help." Tommy's faithful eyes held a look of doglike affection. "Oh, if I can " he quavered. "I've got to get ahead." Jane was breathless. Her eyes shone. "I've got to get ahead, Tommy. I can't live all my life like this." She held up the pink strip.
