But when I see YOU not herdin' with that cattle, never liftin' your eyes to me or Safie as we pass, never hangin' round the saloons and jokin', nor winkin', nor slingin' muddy stories about women, but prayin' and readin' Scripter stories, here along with your brother, I sez to myself, I sez, 'Sandy, ye kin take off your revolver and hang up your shot gun when HE'S around.
She was winkin' both eyes hard to hold the brine back, and her under lip was trembly; but she was keepin' her chin up brave and steady. She'd turned to go when she swings around. "Please, Sir," says she, "where does one go when one is tired?" "Why, Sis," says I sort of quizzin', "what's the matter with home?" "But if one has no home?" she comes back at me solemn.
"O, Susy, what a hubble-bubble we make in the water! Look at the bubbles winkin' their eyes! See those pretty wrinkles, all puckered up in the water!" "I see them," said Susy, steadily plying her shingle; "but why don't you sit still? You'll tip us both over, as sure as this world; and if we get drowned I guess grandma'll scold! I shall be the one to have all the blame."
Indeed, their faces ain't onlike the moon in a gineral way; only one has got a man in it, and the other hain't always. It tante a bright face; you can look into it without winkin'. It's a cloudy one here too, especially in November; and most all the time makes you rather sad and solemncoly. Yes, John is a moony man, that's a fact, and at the full a little queer sometimes.
He's a patient waiter, too. He sticks around for over two hours without gettin' restless, until finally Mr. Robert blows in from the club. First chance I gets, I springs Rupert on him. "A guy with a great little scheme," says I, winkin'. "If you can spare ten minutes he'll tell you something worth while, so he says." "Very well," says Mr. Robert. "But ten minutes must be the limit."
He walked right under the constable's nose oncet, and took a drink with the sheriff that was arter him and the blamed fool never knew it. He kin change even the color of his hair quick as winkin'." "Is he a real Mexican, a regular Greaser?" asked the paternal Foster. "Cos I never heard that they wuz smart." "No!
Lucinda asked, much appalled by the wink. "No, there isn’t no telegram in none o’ the letters," said Joshua. "Joshua Whittlesey, I do believe you was born to drive saints mad. What is the matter?" "Nothin’ ain’t the matter as I know of." "Then what in Kingdom Come did you wink for?" "I winked," said Joshua meaningly, "cause I expect it’ll be a good while before we’ll feel like winkin’ again."
"I don't obsarve much of the same mesilf," said the other, whose face nevertheless was on abroad grin; "I wasn't laughing at yersilf, or the mistake we made." "What was it then that amused you so much?" "I was thinkin' how funny it looked to see the deer and bears and buffaloes and foxes and panthers all standing round that big bowl and winkin' at each ither while they drank their health."
"Oh, Daddy, come and take him off! He's a terrible big one, and he's winkin' one of his claws at me! Come and take him off!" "All right, Mun Bun. I'll be there in just a second. Hold him under water so he won't let go, and I'll get him for you."
"Fact," sais I; "now if you look long and often at a man that winks, it sets you a winkin'. If you see a fellow with a twitch in his face, you feel your cheek doin' the same, and stammerin' is catching too. Now I caught that habit at court, since I came to Europe.
