"What will you do?" "Just you wait and see." "I don't wish to have you interfere with our plans," put in Josiah Crabtree. "I won't interfere with the other plans. But I am going to get square." "We've had delay enough," continued Josiah Crabtree. "Well, that wasn't my fault. Mumps got sick, and that's all there is to it," growled Dan Baxter, and then went to dressing his swollen eye once more.
I think Bloomfield citizens are generally aware of the fact that I am opposed to betting in any form." "I know you've always claimed you was," said Crabtree, with a sneer; "but, 'cordin' to some of the things I've heard about ye, you've been a mighty sportin' young feller in your day. You've lived pretty high for a youngster, and you've had dealings with sportin' people.
"The rascal!" cried Jack. "If he hurts my boat he shall pay for it!" "Captain Putnam must have given him a good dressing down to make him so ugly." "Well, he deserved it." "Say," put in Dale. "That was mean of old Crabtree to send you away from the table." "Never mind, I'll pay him back," answered The Imp, grimly. Several days passed and during that time Reff Ritter kept his distance.
"Why er why ahem so it is you!" he stammered. "Er where did you come from?" "We came from our bedroom," answered Tom promptly. "Where did you come from, Mr. Crabtree?" "Why er don't be impertinent, Rover. I might say that I came from my bedroom too." "I thought you came from the river," remarked Dick carelessly. "From the river? "Yes." "You are ahem, mistaken, my lad.
"My, but that was a narrow escape!" "Where is Mr. Crabtree?" asked Mrs. Stanhope anxiously. "Oh, do not let him drown!" They looked around and saw him in the water not a hundred feet away, puffing and blowing like a porpoise. "Save me!" he screamed, as soon as he saw their safety. "Don't let me drown!" "You're all right," returned Tom. "It's shallow here. See if you can't walk ashore."
Crabtree leaned far out of the window and scolded loudly, as long as they remained in sight, till her face became red, and her voice perfectly hoarse.
She blushed prettily upon seeing Dick and several others with whom she was acquainted. "I understand that Mr. Crabtree is about to be married," said Dick in a low tone. "Yes, he insists on marrying my mother this afternoon. He has been at her about this for several months," answered Dora between her sobs. "Evidently you oppose the marriage." "I I hate Mr. Crabtree!" came almost fiercely.
"Well, it just amounts to the whole of Sweetbriar a-rising up and declaring of a war on Gid Newsome, and I for one want to march in the front ranks and tote a blunderbuss what I couldn't hit nothing smaller than a barn door with if I waster try," exclaimed Mrs. Rucker as she waited at the store for a package Mr. Crabtree was wrapping for her.
"Hush up, Cal Rucker, and go begin chopping up fodder to feed with come supper time," answered his wife, her usual attitude of brisk generalship coming into her capable voice and eyes after their softening under the strain of the varied emotions of the last half hour in the store. "Let's me and you get mops and broom and begin on a-cleaning up for Mr. Crabtree before his moving, Lou.
So you want to find Jesse Pelter, and you'll give me fifty dollars if I'll help you do it? All right, I'll take you up. I don't think Pelter is aware that I know where he is, but I do;" and Josiah Crabtree smiled grimly. "Where is he?" "He told Japson that he was going down East, most likely to Boston.
