"Why, ye-e-es," says Tidman; "but what " "You're goin' to reward her for sittin' on Cousin Ralph so long," says I. "Give her one of the fives. You can slip the other to him as we shoo him through the back door. Now, let's go relieve Mrs. Flynn." From the rough way we collared Ralph and led him off, she must have thought we was headin' him straight for Sing Sing.
Anna appeared and seemed to hesitate about asking her in. "Would you mind coming into the dining-room, ma'am?" she said at last; for how might a sitting-room be used for its legitimate purpose with a ramping rebel at large in it? "Certainly," said Miss Kinross. "Is Miss Bibby in?" "Ye-e-es," said Anna, and opened the dining-room door. The little girls were all here.
"Oh, he has been a widower for several years, I think," says Vee. "Poor man! Isn't he distinguished-looking?" "Ye-e-es," says I. "A bit stagey." "How absurd!" says she. "Isn't it fascinating to hear him talk?" "Reg'lar paralyzin'," says I. "I was gettin' numb from the knees down." "Silly!" says Vee, givin' me a reprovin' pat. "Do be quiet; he is telling Auntie about his wife now." Yep, he was.
"You try any of your slick tricks on me, my man," he said slowly and significantly, "you try any of your slick tricks on me, and so help me, I'll show you." "Ye-e-es, sir," the man replied with the same inflection, though not so pronounced this time. Suddenly the deck became very still. The listeners checked their laughter. Behind me I heard some one mutter, "Hear that, will you?"
"Ye-e-es," said Maggie, beginning to feel life a little more tolerable. "Very well," said Tom, going away. But he turned again at the door and said, "But you'd better come, you know. There's the dessert, nuts, you know, and cowslip wine." Maggie's tears had ceased, and she looked reflective as Tom left her.
"Oh, it's dreadful!" puffs Marjorie. "He he's come!" "That Gilkey guy?" says I. "Ye-e-es," says she. "But but how did you know?" "I'm a seventh son, born with a cowlick," says I. "Was it Gilkey made his entrance through the cucumber frame?" It was. Also he'd managed to cut himself in the ankles and right wrist.
"Yes, I expect there was no dodgin' it," I agrees. At dinner Auntie is still sort of jumpy but she says it's a great satisfaction to know that she is out here in the calm, peaceful country. "It's dull, of course," she goes on, "but at the same time it is all so restful and soothing. One knows that nothing whatever is going to happen." "Ye-e-es," says I, draggy. "And yet, you can't always tell."
"Ye-e-es, that's right; the route's arrived for the old trump; wishes to to see you" "Major Stewart dying! Why, you are a more disgraceful scamp than I believed you to be. Send this fellow away," I added to a clerk who answered my summons. I then hastened off, and was speedily rattling over the stones towards Baker Street, Portman Square, where Major Stewart resided.
At which Waddy pushes to the front. "Oh, I say, Bruzinski! Remember me, don't you?" he asks. Joe looks him over casual and shakes his head. "I'm Lieutenant Fiske, you know," says Waddy. "That is, I was." "Well, I'll be damned!" says Joe earnest. "The Loot! What's up?" "That ring I gave you in Belgium," goes on Waddy. "I I hope you still have it?" "Ye-e-es," says Joe draggy.
"Without notice!" Barker looked up sharply. His face betrayed his surprise; showed clearly that Carroll's guess had scored. "How'd you know that?" "I knew it," returned Carroll. "That's sufficient." Barker assumed a defensive attitude. "Anyway," said he, "that didn't make me sore at him, because he give me a month's pay; and that's just as good as a notice, ain't it?" "Ye-e-es, I guess it is."
