"We lugged the Major and his wife to the back of the store. I made a piller for her out'n some rolls of wall-paper, but the Major had to get along as best he could. There he lay, his little round stummick stickin' in the air, breathin' like a wind-broken horse. "Keno Jim and me looked after the lady whilest Hadds pranced around the Major and cussed scientific cuss-words.
Kyan began a futile hunt for the missing napkin, in his lap, on the table, and finally under it. "I don't understand," he stammered, "where that napkin can be. I'm just as sure I had it and now I'm just as sure I ain't got it. What do you s'pose I done with it?" "Goodness knows! 'Twouldn't surprise me if you'd et it, you're that absent-minded. Here! what's that stickin' out of your breast pocket?"
These nighthawk taxis around here make most of their mazuma by this fly stuff generally the souses ain't got enough left for a taxicab, and it's a waste o' time stickin' 'em up since the rubes are so easy with the taxi meter. But just look out for a little badger work on the chauffeur when ye git through with 'im." Burke nodded. Then he added. "Just keep this to yourself, won't you?
That evening at supper Philip asked suddenly, "What ails you two, Uncle Amos, you and Millie? I see you grin every time you look at each other." "Well, nothin' ails me except a bad case of love that's been stickin' in me this long while and now it's broke out. Millie's caught it too." "Well, I declare!" Amanda was quick to detect his meaning. "You two darlings! I'm so glad!"
"I'm reckonin' to be. I'd have gone before this, but I was waitin' for you boys. Nobody is sayin' anything to anybody. You're stickin' close to the Rancho Seco, not lettin' Barbara out of your sight. That's what I wanted you an' the other guys for. I'm playin' the rest of it a lone hand."
You can't get alongside of me from where you are; there's too much yard-arm and splintered spar stickin' out in that direction. And I daren't jump overboard and swim to you, for I've been blockaded all day by sharks see, there's one of them now, close alongside of ye!"
But he heerd the little cryin' ag'in, and he run along on to find the child. But he couldn't find it; every time he'd think he was close to it, he'd hear the cryin' a little further off. And he'd go on and on, a-stumblin' over stones and fallin' over logs and a-steppin' into holes, but stickin' to it, and forgettin' everything only that little cryin' voice ahead of him.
"Now get this straight. I'm stickin' to Barbara Morgan. I'm runnin' the Rancho Seco from now on. I'm runnin' it my way. Nobody is botherin' Barbara Morgan except them guys she wants to have bother her. That lets you out. You're a rank coyote, an' I don't have no truck with you except at the business end of a gun. Now take your damned, sneakin' grin over an' wet it down, or I'll blow you apart!"
On fust seein' that, I war inclined to think different. You see the whift be stickin' a'most straight up, an' how could that a' been done by them in the boats? If the whale hadn't a' been dead, nobody would a' dared to a clombed on to her an' fix the flag that way." "You are right dar," interrupted Snowball. "No," rejoined the sailor, "I ain't.
The old creature came to a stop, his eyes glinting with a febrile excitement. "And so," I said, "Exciseman Jones was true to his word?" The tension of memory was giving the spring slowly uncoiling itself. "Ay," he said doubtfully. "The cliff had flaked away by degrees to his very grave. They found his skelington stickin' out of the chalk."
