Ninian found that, in spite of his protestations, the simple refreshments were very acceptable, and the trio were quietly enjoying their reunion when Jessica suddenly remembered Ephraim and sprang up to go in search of him, exclaiming: "Even if Mr. Sharp isn't hungry, dear old 'Forty-niner' is sure to be. He'll be here soon, maybe, but I won't wait till the kettle is cold.
At that instant there was another heavy floundering behind the bushes and another brutish moan of pain. With this full consciousness came to the injured ranchman and he tried to rise, crying in his own distress: "That's Comanche!" "Forty-niner" gravely nodded. "He's hurt?" demanded Marty, as if he defied the answer to be affirmative. Ephraim turned away his face.
But I have the misfortune to own a little box on the Saucelito shore. I'll be glad to see you there any Sunday without the fellows in kilts, you know; and I can give you a bottle of wine, and show you the best collection of Arctic voyages in the States. Morgan is my name Judge Morgan a Welshman and a forty-niner." "O, if you're a pioneer," cried I, "come to me, and I'll provide you with an axe."
You try my soul with your forgivin' and forgivin'. Next you know you'll be sorry for Ferd, the dwarf, though 'tis he himself what's started all this bobery against 'Forty-niner, and eggs them silly Winklers on to be so so hateful. I'm glad that witless woman did lose her ring, and I hope it'll never be straightened out.
The man is typically the Western pioneer, as every resident of the Pacific Coast has known him-a patriarchal figure who foreran civilization here in the West of America as he has in all other new lands. Head up, axe and gun in hand, looking straight forward, he is a fine visualization of the "Forty-niner." He is, too, an interesting racial contrast to the Indian of "The End of the Trail."
I'm working on a new line and I'm not going to say another word until I've got somewheres. "Yours truly, "Delano's father was a Forty-niner, and lived in California till 1860, when he went home to H. C. and died soon after. There were wild stories about him, too." During the next few days Ruyler saw little of his wife.
In the old California days her husband, in his humorous way, had called her "the forty-niner," but now, as he watched her, flitting in her blue dress, like a witch, in all parts of the plantation, directing, expostulating, and working with her hands when words failed, he called her "my little blue bogie planter."
He was a forty-niner in California, you know, and has spent a lot of his life in the bush." When George returned empty-handed, alas! we had our dinner. The menu was not very extensive it began with stewed cranberries and ended there. The acid from the unsweetened berries made our mouths sore, but, as George remarked, "it was a heap better than not eatin' at all."
Tarwater, stoking the fire, would sometimes ask Liverpool, beating now one released hand and now the other as he fought for circulation where he steered in the freezing stern-sheets. "Just break out that regular song of yours, old Forty-Niner," was the invariable reply.
If you and mother aren't ashamed to disagree before my dear Mr. Sharp, I'm ashamed to have you!" All laughed and none took offense at this plain talk which, jesting though it seemed, covered a serious meaning, and soon "Forty-niner" remarked, as if to close the subject: "Well, all's said and done; yet, still, I know if I'd been let to have my way in this I'd have stopped a deal of mischief.
