It was evidently a gift, and the boy grinned appreciatively. "Wastin' your coin, man," remarked another sailor with a harsh laugh. Piang wondered again at the pitying looks that were cast at him, but he only held his head higher and climbed into the boat. The men seemed in a great hurry; they landed far up the beach, and bags and provisions were hastily dumped on the sand.
"He is my brother's friend. But I I despise him!" Ferguson grinned broadly. "Well, now," he said, unable to keep his pleasure over her evident dislike of the Two Diamond man from showing in his eyes and voice, "that's cert'nly too bad. An' to think he's wastin' his time ridin' over here." She gazed at him with steady, unwavering eyes. He could still remember the challenge in them.
Howsum, mebbe ther' wus reason. Old Joe, he wus the daddy o' the lot. Jim Marlin used to say as Joe most gener'ly used a black lead when he writ his letters; didn't fancy wastin' ink. Mebbe that's kind o' zaggerated, but I guess he wus the next thing to a fact'ry o' blottin' paper, sure.
I'm figurin' that the Redskins are in ambush down there among the willows. It's likely they've been there all through the night. They'll attack before sunrise; and they'll approach by way of the hollow yonder, where they c'n tread quiet on the marshy ground." "Say, that rider's wastin' no time, Gid," Isa interrupted, "Guess he's in some hurry by the way he's poundin' along."
I only thought," he went on, with tenderer tentativeness, "that it would be pleasant to work here near you." "Ye'd be only wastin' yer time," she said darkly. Fleming rose gravely. "Perhaps you're right," he answered sadly and a little bitterly, "and I'll go at once." He walked to the spring, and gathered up his tools. "Thank you again for your kindness, and good-by."
"As if I'd no more sense than to go there an' then an' frighten him an' him with all those papers to look over!" "Then if you're so shy about worriting Benny and I don't blame you why be in such a hurry to worrit yourself? 'Bias has the papers that you may lay to." Fancy tapped her small foot on the floor, which it just reached. "As if I should be wastin' time, botherin' you!
But the only thing that matters, it seems to me, is Who's What." "I wonder she hasn't married," remarked Donald, innocently. "Ah, that's the trouble. She's like a thousand others without no special occupation in life. She's wastin' a lot of bottled up interest and sympathy on foolish things. If she'd married and had seven babies, they would have seen to it that she didn't make a fool of herself.
Frank stood looking after Mis' Molly as she picked her way across the street, until he was recalled to his duty by a sharp word from his father. "'Ten' ter yo' wuk, boy, 'ten' ter yo' wuk. You 're wastin' yo' time wastin' yo' time!" Yes, he was wasting his time. The beautiful young girl across the street could never be anything to him.
"Surely," he said wonderingly, "you don't want me to give you the ranch just because you happen to hold the mortgages on it?" "Business is business, Stephen," said the old man sternly. "Sometimes, between Packards, business is hell. It'd be that for you. I've started out to get this outfit an' I'd get it. An' doin' it I'd be wastin' my time besides breakin' you all to smithereens. Better drop it."
Sheriff," she said, evenly; "if you will stand aside, I shall be glad to leave you." Moreton grinned, admiringly. "You've sure got a heap of nerve, ma'am," he complimented; "I'll say that for you! I don't know what your game is, but you're mighty clever though you're wastin' your time out here in the sagebrush. You ought to stay East where there's a lot more rummies than there is out here!"
