"It's all right, Winky. They're the Philippine Islanders." "Well, I never " "Nor I. Talk of travelin' " But it was all very well to talk. The sight had sobered them. Gravely and silently they went through that village. At last, Ranny paused outside a hut no bigger than a dog-kennel. It bore the label: "Beda And His Fiancée Kodpat Undergoing Trial Marriage." Ranny laughed.
I held the cork down for a second with my thumb, while I uttered once more, in my most awesome tone, the mystic words: "Hokey pokey winky wum!" then I let it fly suddenly. The soda-water was well up. The cork bounded to the ceiling; the contents of the bottle spurted out over the place in the most impressive fashion. For a minute the Lamas drew back alarmed. The thing seemed almost devilish.
He only divined that something in her heart, profound as life itself, something she had never been warned to conceal, was clamoring for comprehension and satisfaction. "Miriam, tell me exactly. I'm sure I shall understand " "I want Winky to be with us always not only sometimes on little visits," he heard between the broken breathing. "I'll tell him "
She's that sort." And as he brooded on it, hatred of Winky, who had so fooled him, crept into his heart. "Oh, Daddy!" Dossie shouted, with excitement. We'll be dea' little baby bunnies. You'll be Father Bunny, and Winky'll be Mrs. Mother Bun! Be a bunny, Daddy?" Perceiving his cruel abstraction, Dossie entreated and implored. "Be it!"
And the next thing he knew, after a brief silence between them, was that he heard a sob, and no attempt to smother it either. In less than a second he was beside her and had both her hands in his. He understood in a flash. "You precious baby," he cried, "but Winky was a little man. He wasn't a girl!"
Taylor sat there looking at me with his winky blue eyes, I didn't dare howl or anything, but my! I did feel like it. So I just said, "Yes, 'm, Aunty May, I'll be good." She kissed me right before him. It was a little mean of her, but he looked the other way and said, "Shoo, Teddy."
He broke the news to Winny, sitting with her in their little halfway grove, the place consecrated to Ranny's confidences. "I can't do different," he said, summing it all up. "Of course, you can't. Never mind, dear. Let's go on as we are." It was what Violet had said to him, but with how different a meaning! "But Winky it means waiting years.
You're jolly clever, but you can't take me in, Winky. Not for a single minute." "Well, then, Ranny, let me pay for something." And she took out her little purse. After that it was sheer headlong, shameful defeat for Winky. A delirious devil had entered into Ranny with the coffee and the ices, urging him to spend. And Winny ceased to struggle.
Besides, Auntie never did have any use for this Mrs. Butt anyway and hardly speaks to her civil when she meets her. Now Auntie is squirmin' in her chair and I can guess how her fingers are itchin' to rescue the youngster. "Um precious 'ittle sweetums, ain't oo?" gurgles Mrs. Butt, rootin' him in the stomach with her nose. "Won't um let me tiss um's tweet 'ittle pinky winky toes?"
"Winky," he said, after an agonizing pause, "you must have thought it queer that I've never thanked you for all you've done for me." "Why should you? It's so little. It's nothing." "Do you suppose I don't know what it is and what you've done it for?" "Yes, Ranny, you know what I did it for, and you see, it's been no good." "How d'you mean, no good?" "It didn't do what I thought it would."
