"O Lionel Hezekiah, why will you do such things?" said Salome miserably. "I didn't know it was wrong," said Lionel Hezekiah, bursting into prompt tears. "I I thought it would be bully fun. Seems's if everything what's fun 's wrong." Salome's heart was not proof against tears, as Lionel Hezekiah very well knew. She put her arm about the sobbing culprit, and drew him to her side.
The Captain made no answer at the time, but after a short consultation with the remainder of the triumvirate, he came to her as she stood by the window and, laying his hand on her shoulder, said: "Now, Elsie I hope you don't mind my callin' you Elsie, but I've been chums with your grandpa so long seems's if you must be a sort of relation of mine Elsie, you ain't goin' to no hotel, that is, unless you're real set on it.
Do you know " Lute sat down again on the bench "sometimes I get real worried about her." "No! Do you?" "Yes, I do. I think she works too hard. Seems's if sometimes it had kind of struck to her brains work, I mean. She don't think of nothin' else. Now take the dustin', for instance. Dustin's all right; I believe in dustin' things. But I don't believe in wearin' 'em out dustin' 'em.
The nurse nodded happily. It was good to have Polly back. "Seems's if you'd never come!" broke out Elsie Meyer. "I've been waitin' an' waitin' for a story." "I'll have my things off in a minute," responded Polly, "and you'll say my story is worth waiting for." "A new one?" "Brand-new!" "Where'd you get it?"

I do get out of patience with Rejoice sometimes, takin' the Lord quite so much for granted as she doos; for, after all, the child was stole, you can't get over that, and seems's though if there'd ben such a good lookout as she thinks, well, there! I don't want to be profane; but I will say 'twas a providence, Mr. De Arthenay happenin' along.
"I declare to goodness, Phoebe!" she was saying. "Seems's if every chance you get, you go to readin' those old letters." "Well, the's one or two that's spelled so funny and written so badly that I haven't been able yet to read them," Phoebe replied. Droop looked over his paper.

"An' he goes squintin' about here an' there, changin' this an' that, an' singin' away an' laughin' you'd think he'd have a fit. Seems's if he loved to putter about 'n' fool with things in a room, like women. I heard him say so myself.
After that we can press our inalienable rights to eight quarts o' oats a day, two good blankets, an' a fly-net an' the best o' stablin'."

Football? Why, now I do remember. You had a football team there and and wa'n't there somethin' queer, some sort of a a robbery, or stealin', or swindlin' connected with it? Seems's if I'd heard somethin' like that." Mr. Wingate looked his friend over, winked, and asked a question. "Sol," he said, "you ain't forgot how to keep a secret?" The depot master smiled. "I guess not," he said.
