But the last time he was here he said, as he opened the door to go, 'Do you know, Miggles, your baby will grow up to be a man yet and an honor to his mother; but not here, Miggles, not here! And I thought he went away sad and and " and here Miggles's voice and head were somehow both lost completely in the shadow.
The lady passengers moved closer to each other; the Washoe husband looked abstractedly at the fire; and the tall man apparently turned his eyes inward for self-support at this emergency. But Miggles's laugh, which was very infectious, broke the silence. "Come," she said briskly, "you must be hungry. Who'll bear a hand to help me get tea?" She had no lack of volunteers.
Then came a lull, and a mysterious voice from the road shouted the parting adjuration: "Try Miggles's." We caught a glimpse of our leaders as the vehicle slowly turned, of a horseman vanishing through the rain, and we were evidently on our way to Miggles's. Who and where was Miggles? The Judge, our authority, did not remember the name, and he knew the country thoroughly.
Evidently Miggles's, and evidently Miggles did not keep a hotel. The driver got down and tried the gate. It was securely locked. "Miggles! O Miggles!" No answer. "Migg-ells! You Miggles!" continued the driver, with rising wrath. "Migglesy!" joined the expressman, persuasively. "O Miggy! Mig!" But no reply came from the apparently insensate Miggles.
Whether she was altogether unconscious of the admiration she excited she could hardly have been oblivious of Yuba Bill's adoration I know not; but her very frankness suggested a perfect sexual equality that was cruelly humiliating to the younger members of our party. The incident of the bear did not add anything in Miggles's favor to the opinions of those of her own sex who were present.
He'd ask to see 'Miggles's baby, as he called Jim, and when he'd go away, he'd say, 'Miggles; you're a trump God bless you'; and it didn't seem so lonely after that.
It must be confessed that Miggles's conversation was never elegant, rarely grammatical, and that at times she employed expletives the use of which had generally been yielded to our sex. But they were delivered with such a lighting-up of teeth and eyes, and were usually followed by a laugh a laugh peculiar to Miggles so frank and honest that it seemed to clear the moral atmosphere.
