And Sam says he looked at this guy from the woods that was running round crying to high heaven he needed a guardian, and he sees that sure enough it was the tow-head Mark Dennen and Sam told me something seemed to bust inside him, and he wanted to stretch out his arms and hug this guy. "'Mark Dennen, shouts Sam, 'as I live. Of Readsboro, Vermont.
The tow-head was just behind, and the cattleman could hear the sound of chattering teeth; so he whipped off his overcoat and tossed it back. When he entered the hall the chattering had stopped, and the coat had disappeared into the shadow of a granary.
"Learn to fight, mebbe," the husband laughed. He did, too, and the way it came about was as big a surprise to the Boy as it was to the youngster he fought. The small bully of the school lived in the same direction as the Boy and Sarah. They frequently walked together for a mile going or coming and grew to know one another well. The Boy disliked this tow-head urchin from the moment they met.
Having made a friend of the little witch of a girl, and of Buddy, who had been the baby the year before, but whose place had been usurped because of the advent of another tow-head into the family, the others of "them Trimminses," as they were spoken of in Polktown, had become Janice Day's staunch friends.
The next one that he approached was only a tow-head, which is a sand-bar on which has sprung up a thick growth of slender cotton-woods, or other quick-shooting, water-loving trees. "I might find what I want there as well as on a larger island," thought Winn, "and, at any rate, I'll make a try for it."
In vain Cameron rallies his powers; his nerve is failing him, his strength is done. Only five minutes to play, but one minute is enough. Down upon him through a broken field, dribbling the ball and following hard like hounds on a hare, come the Welsh, the tow-head raging in front, bloody and fearsome.
How they got a livin' nobody knew; for they didn't seem to pay no attention to raisin' nothin' but childun, but the duce knows, there was plenty o' them. Their old hut was like a rabbit-pen: there was a tow-head to every crack and cranny. 'Member what old Cæsar said once when the word come to the store that old Hokum had got twins.
Do you suppose I'm going to let that tow-head monopolize you?" he answered, pressing her arm closer to his side with his own.
All at once he knew what it was, even before a flash of the distant lightning revealed a little tow-head down in the darkness, and a pair of black eyes raised to his in perfect confidence. It was the little sister who had followed him to-night, as she always did when she could. "Stand back thar, Tennessee!" he faltered. He was trembling from head to foot.
So he stuck to something that could be discussed. Then and this was his moment of exceeding folly he caught at the old episode of the Argentina. That had nothing to do with her present state of shock. She had seen tow-head; but she hadn't seen the sprinkled Mediterranean. And she had accepted that.
