He used his draft book freely, buying water for the cattle while crossing this stretch of desert; the natives all through there considered him the softest snap they had met in years. Several times we were without water for the stock two whole days. That makes cattle hard to hold at night. They want to get up and prowl it makes them feverish, and then's when they are ripe for a stampede.
Away went the pack with a chorus of eager yelps, while the hunters trailed after them. "No hurry, boys," said the major, leisurely; "when they get him treed they'll let us know. Then's the time for us to get near and decide whether the tree shall be chopped or a nigger climb up to knock the critter down to the dogs. We never shoot a 'coon 'less the dogs prove unable to master him."
Curtis that if she has to be washed, I'll wash her. I don't want no dago splashin' water all over the barn floor an' drawin' pay fer doin' it. Then's when I hears about the new car. Mr. Loeb comes out an' asts me if I ever drove a Packard twin-six. I says no I ain't, an' he says it's too bad. He asts the dago if he's ever drove one and the dago lies like thunder.
"When the weather makes one want to hang oneself, then's the moment for immortal works." "For goodness' sake, don't prate, Julian!" said French, yawning, and flinging a rose-bud at Horne, which he had just gathered from a garden-bed at his elbow. "You've had so much more sleep than the rest of us, it isn't fair." "I saw him sup," said Buntingford. "Who saw him afterwards?"
"One day I was in the dockyard, looking at a two-decker in the basin, just brought forward for service, and I inquired who was to be the captain. They told me that his name was O'Connor. Then's he's a countryman of mine, thought I, and I'll try my luck. So I called at Goud's Hotel, where he was lodging, and requested to speak with him.
I heard you tumblin' around all the night. You don't get anywhere by doin' that. A man has to take himself in hand more than ever when there's big things at stake. Then's when he needs his head. You just try to get some rest. I'll keep things goin' ahead all right, and there ain't no call to do nothin' for a week or ten days till we get our feet on the ground. After that we'll find a trail.
Dave Herriot sails the ship mostly, but when we sight a big merchantman with maybe a long nine or two aboard, then's when Stede Bonnet comes on deck. That Frenchman we sunk tonight, blast her bloody spars" here the lank pirate interrupted himself to curse his luck, and continued "probably loaded with sugar and Jamaica rum from Martinique and headed up for the French provinces.
"Summer!" cried Hal. "Then's when we can have fun. The ground is dry, so we can play marbles and fly kites. And we can go in swimming and have a long vacation. Summer's the jolly time!" "It is a time when things grow that start in the Spring," said Mother Blake. "What comes after Summer?" "Autumn," answered Mab. "Some folks call it Fall. Why do they, Mother?"
I have come home and I am needed. I shall not go back. It is only the last half term, anyway." "Yes, but then's when the girls have all their best times, all the dances and and entertainments and society times. You said so. Do you want to miss all those?" Gertrude smiled. "Oh," she observed, "I expect to have a great many 'society times, as you call them, right here in Scarford.
And, red in the face, Peter answered "I don't think you ought to talk of any one who's so fond of you behind her back in that way " "Oh! I say just the same to her face. I'm always telling her these things and she always agrees and then's just as selfish as ever. That absurd little father of hers has spoilt her!" Spoilt! Clare spoilt! Peter smiled darkly.
