I jollied Old Hickory into lettin' me tip the sailors that had lugged the sacks aboard, and I threw in some of his best cigars just by way of relievin' my feelin's. Whenever I passed Captain Rupert Killam I hammered him on the back folksy and told him he sure was some discoverer. I even let Mrs. Mumford feed me an earful about how the late dear Mr.
"It's time we had a little talk," said Brodie out of a short silence. "Without anybody's skirt listening in. Leave her back there, further from the front door, Jarrold. Where she can't get an earful, and where she can't make a getaway; you come on over here a minute." Gloria made no resistance but sank down limply where Jarrold left her and watched him as he slouched over to the fire.
Oh, yes, the neighbors certainly got an earful, as the town gossips proved when the divorce suit seeped into the papers. Bud refused to answer the proceedings, and was therefore ordered to pay twice as much alimony as he could afford to pay; more, in fact, than all his domestic expense had amounted to in the fourteen months that he had been married.
Such a dash of sunlight had fallen at her feet that she hardly dared look at it for fear of being dazzled; but she could not look anywhere that she did not see the reflection. In the mean time the earful of people settled again into sullen quietude. The cold was not found propitious to quarrelling.
Guess that old guy ain't had a shake up like that since he first choked himself with gravel when his momma wa'n't around. I allow Louis Creal, whoever he is, is going to get an earful that'll nigh bust his drums." But Kars had no responsive smile. "They'll be on us by nightfall," he said quietly. "We need to get busy." Then he suddenly called out. His voice was stern and threatening.
I sure was gettin' an earful of this golf stuff, but I was still awake. Dowd goes on to tell how reg'lar the old foursome got under way every afternoon at 2:30. That is, every day but Sunday. "Oh, yes," says I. "Church?" "No," says Dowd. "Sandy the Great." "Eh?" says I, gawpin'.
"Good stuff, Bart! Always on your job, eh?" "Always!" agreed Mr. Wagg. The warden went on his way and the guard marched to the convict with a manner which expressed a determination to give No. 279 an earful. He stood over Vaniman, who had dropped back to the chair, and the two of them swapped stares. "I want to get out I want to get out!" whimpered Vaniman. Mr. Wagg nodded. "What must I do?"
"Oh, I gave 'em an earful," Whistler agreed, and puckered his lips again. "Come on and get in," ordered Torry impatiently. "Pa's got to use the car this afternoon. But he says we can have it to run over to Elmvale in, if we want." "Where are Frenchy and Ikey?" Whistler broke off in his tune again to ask. "Going to wait for us down on High Street and Seven Knott, too."
It seems that if she could have driven up and taken a groom it would have been good form, but there was some complication about the horses, and to go by rail unchaperoned, even though surrounded by a earful of people, was not to be thought of. I pointed to the asters that must be set out and covered before the sun was high, but she couldn't understand, and went off in a huff.
"It wasn't no occasion," he said; "it was a catastrophe. Did I ever happen to tell you about the time I furnished the financial backing for Windy Jordan and his educated bull, and what happened when the blow-off came?" I shook my head and in silence hearkened. "It makes quite an earful," he continued. "Business for gents in my profession was very punk here on the Main Stem that season.
