But watch him, lady, lock him up secure, because I think I know I could whistle him away from you whenever I would back, ma'm, back to me and the Silent Places. And so good-day, ma'm, my best respects!" Saying which, Diana curtseyed again and turned away. "The creature!" exclaimed my aunt. "The minx! The insolent baggage!"
Mayfield sat together that is, he sat out on the end of a board, as far away from her as he could get, and once when the wheel ran over a stone he fell off. "Oh," she cried, "you must be hurt." He got up, with his jack-o'-lantern smile, dusted himself and said: "I I would fall for you any time, ma'm." "But," she laughed, "I didn't want you to fall." "Didn't you?
"Yes, I must have done it, else you would not have offered your services, for fear it might be rude. But don't be troubled it was all my fault. I ought not to have been so heedless I ought not to have asked you." "But you didn't ask me, ma'm. We always help customers all we can.
"Thieves, missus a murderin' 'ighwayman Galloping Jerry 'isself a bloody rogue " "'E looks it!" nodded the landlady. "Bleedin' all over my clean kitchen, 'e be. Take 'im out t' barn " "Not us, ma'm, not us 'e's nigh give us the slip once a'ready, dang 'im!"

Mayfield were coming down the hill. The preacher, too, had for the most part been silent, though not in reverie, but in a constant struggle. Once he said to her: "Ma'm, I can't get it out of my head that you are makin' fun of me." "I make fun of you, Mr. Reverend? I admit that in the past my heart was gayer than wise, but there never was a time when I could have made fun of you."
"That's right, ma'm," the old man declared, laughing and slapping his leg; "an' I'd ruther a man would tell me a flat-footed lie than to pour molasses on me. Young feller," he asked of Tom, "did you like yo' ride?" "Charmed with it, I assure you. Auntie called it a continuous panorama." "Wall, I never thought about it in that way, but I reckon that's about what it is."
He scrambled up, as if stung into action, grabbed his hat, went boldly close to her and said: "If I thought yo' wish was in yo' invitation, Satan couldn't hold me back, and the Lord wouldn't." "What a strange compliment." "Ma'm, I don't know how to speak compliments." "Come on, please."
"No," the woman sighed; "not like this one." "Come, come, ma'm!" I put in, confidently. "Do you leave un t' the doctor. He'll cure un." She looked at me quickly. "What say?" she said, as though she had not understood. "I says," I repeated, "that the doctor will cure that one." "Cure un?" she asked, blankly. "That he will!"
Wait till I get it off for you." She wet a corner of a towel at the tea kettle and proceeded to scour the unsuspecting Lydia's neck and ears. "Children in the high school are apt to get ink in the back of their necks and ears," she said. "Always scrub there, Lydia! Remember!" "Yes, Ma'm! Oh, gosh, what a big pile! Thank you ever so much, Billy. I'll be here right after school to-morrow, Mrs.
"Good-evenin', ma'm," responded the man briefly, and not relaxing at all the energy with which he was trimming a barrel-stave. Mis' Molly then accosted the younger workman, a dark-brown young man, small in stature, but with a well-shaped head, an expressive forehead, and features indicative of kindness, intelligence, humor, and imagination.
