Took me some time to raise anybody, and when a girl does answer all I gets out of her is a squeal and the door is slammed shut again. I was backin' off disgusted when here comes this dame with the big eyes and the grand duchess airs. "'Ah le bon Dieu! says she gaspy. 'Le soldat d'Amerique! Entrez, m'sieur. And say, even if I couldn't have savvied a word, that smile would have been enough.
"Only a copy," says he smilin'. "I have several more. Sit down, Mr. Steele, and let me give you another." Kind of dazed and subdued, J. Bayard submits to bein' pushed into a chair. After a minute or so he fixes his glasses again, and begins starin' at the fresh list, mumblin' over some of the names to himself. "To them! Three millions!" says he gaspy.
"I could almost guess that from the lid you're wearin'," says I. "One of Miss Vee's, ain't it?" She pinks up and goes gaspy at that. "Please," she begins pleadin', "if you would not mention " "I might forget to," I breaks in, "if you'll tell me where I can find 'em quickest." And Celeste gets the information out rapid. They're house-partyin' at the Morley Beckhams, over at Quehassett, Long Island.
But his derby is busted in on one side, one end of his wing collar has been carried away and is ridin' up towards his left ear, his coat is all dusty, and his face is flushed up like a new fire truck. "For the love of soup!" says I, gaspy. "Must have been some party?" Ernie, he braces himself by grippin' a chair-back and makes a stab at recoverin' his usual stiff-neck pose.
"Then here's a proposition," says I. "You query him by cable to see if he's changed his mind; and if he's still a candidate for matrimony well, I guess Mr. Steele will see that you get to the Baron." "You you mean that?" says she gaspy. "Uh-huh," says I. "It's up to you." "But but I Why, look at me!" says she.
It ain't often, either, that I can spring anything on her that leaves her stunned and bug-eyed. "Why, Torchy!" says she, gaspy. "How in the world did you ever manage it? I I don't understand." "Oh, very simple!" says I. "It's all in havin' the right kind of neighbors." "But you don't mean," says she, "that you persuaded some of our oh, I'm sure you never could. Besides, you're grinning.
"You ain't exactly tongue-tied, though," says I. "And you ain't startin' out on this expedition with both arms roped behind you, are you?" For a minute he stares at me gaspy, while that simmers through the oatmeal. Then he chuckles. "Torchy," says he, givin' me the inside-brother grip, "there's no telling how this will turn out, but I I'm going up!" I stayed long enough to see him start, too.
Edging in too close, I got a kick on the shin from a flying heel, and was dancing around on one foot nursing the other when I heard sounds of distress issue from the tangle in the road; somebody was getting breath in long, gaspy sighs that broke off in grunts when the thud of blows fell, and merged in the harsh nasal of blood violently dislodged from nose and throat.
"It is impossible, quite impossible," says the little man, sort of gaspy, "to imagine such a horrible monstrosity!" "Very likely for you, sir," says Charley, speaking affable, "it is. But you must remember that ours is a young and a vigorous community too young, too vigorous, to be cramped and trammelled by obsolete conventions and narrow Old-World rules.
So they had to wait, an' afore he awakened out o' that sleep most o' the men was dead suffocated for want o' fresh air." "I say, Mac, pass the water," said Moses Pyne. "It makes a feller feel quite gaspy to think of." The weather-prophet proved to be right. That night no one could sleep a wink, except the big Scotsman Macleod. To make matters worse, the insects of the place were unusually active.
