There was something singularly attractive about this shock-headed youth. 'A phrase? 'Of music. For my waltz. I am composing a waltz. A look of such unqualified admiration overspread the young man's face that the last remnants of the ice-pack melted. For the first time since they had met Annette found herself positively liking this blackguardly floor-smiter.
A dumb, unuttered love for the two shock-headed babies he had left behind in the split-board cabin was the one big thing in Anse Dugmore's whole being bigger even than his sense of allegiance to the feud. "My young uns, Shem?" "Wyatt Trantham took 'em and he kep' 'em he's got 'em both now." "Does he does he use 'em kindly?" "I ain't never heered," said Shem simply.
Before, however, I could begin, up started one of the men, a wild, shock-headed fellow dressed like a carter, in rough blue frieze coat, yellow, broad corduroy trowsers, grey woollen stockings and highlows, and snatching the brush out of my hand, fell to brushing me most vigorously, puffing and blowing all the time in a most tremendous manner.
But he progressed so slowly, for one reason and another, that I began to grow impatient; moreover, noticing that the shock-headed boy had disappeared, I bade him desist. "A cold chisel and hammer will be quickest," said I; "come, cut me off this chain here, close up to the rivets."
He would run as fast as he could from the tap to the window, and left a bottle filling at the tap while he made the trip. In this way every man in the car got enough to drink, and this blue-eyed, shock-headed lad will ever live in grateful memory.
Rough-looking customers they were, to be sure; shock-headed, sun-burned, and freckle-faced girls and boys of the humblest class of "poor whites," as they were called in the slave States. Ishmael received them, each and all, with that genial kindness which always won the hearts of all who knew him.
The child laughed again more heartily than before, I could not help smiling from pure sympathy. The little old man took up a candle and went to open the door. When he came back, Kit was at his heels. Kit was a shock-headed, shambling, awkward lad with an uncommonly wide mouth, very red cheeks, a turned-up nose, and certainly the most comical expression of face I ever saw.
Being curious to determine this fine point in sorcery the butterfly fluttered down and touched its front feet to the pig's nose. Instantly the animal disappeared, and in its place was a shock-headed, dirty looking boy, which sprang from the sty and ran down the road uttering load whoops. "That's funny," said the butterfly to itself.
'I wonder you do not want my sword, I said by way of sarcasm, as I swung myself up. 'We are not afraid of it, the innkeeper answered gravely. 'You may keep it for the present. I made no answer what answer had I to make? and we rode at a footpace down the street; he and I leading, Clon and the shock-headed man bringing up the rear.
He was happy, and Cordelia was in an ecstasy by the time he had paid a shock-headed, bare-armed German waiter, and they were again on the avenue side by side. She put out her hand and rested it on his arm again to make sure she was Clarice. One would like to know whether, in the breasts of such as these, familiar environment exerts any remarkable influence.
