Yes, I do. She went to Brent Farm to get some cream. Zeb He says you're to have cream." Mildred made a movement which was meant to express baffled patience. "I have tried to persuade you not to use pronouns instead of proper names. Can't you hear how vulgar it is?" "Dr. Mackenzie wishes you to have cream," Helen said meekly. "I do not need cream, and his visits are becoming quite unnecessary."
Zeb remained motionless until he stooped over him; then bending his knees to his chin, he gathered all his strength, and planted both feet in his chest, throwing him a dozen feet. The savage groaned and doubled up in his agony, and gasped spasmodically for breath. "Dar, how does dat set on your stummich? Yah! yah! dat's fun!"
"No, I really think he means to do us an injury," said Mr. Roumann. "He has some fancied grievance against us, or he is being used as a tool by Zeb Forker. Perhaps the man who stole the plates was with him, and he hoped to get some more during the confusion. I think we had better take a look at the machine shop."
It was supper time when they had finished and everything was shipshape and comfortable. In the meantime Dick had wandered off with the rifle and returned with four good-sized rabbits and three squirrels which Zeb cooked into a savory stew. They turned in early as they had all worked hard and were tired. Just what time it was that he awakened, Jack did not know.
Instead of opposing him in this they stood back in silence until he had made a good-sized hole in the barrier, when by order of the Princess they all sprang forward and thrust out their sharp thorns. Dorothy hopped inside the opening to escape being pricked, and Zeb and the Wizard, after enduring a few stabs from the thorns, were glad to follow her.
Guess he never did, quite. He wanted to know what lawyer was to have my case. Wahn't none of his affair, and I callated if you'd wanted him to know just yet, you'd have toad him." Austen laid his hand on the farmer's, as he rose to go. "Zeb," he said, "I never expect to have a more exemplary client." Mr. Mender shot a glance at him.
Jim pricked up his ears when he heard they were going to the gardens, and wanted to join the party, thinking he might find something proper to eat; so Zeb put down the top of the buggy and invited the Wizard to ride with them.
But he did not wish the little girl to think him a coward, so he advanced slowly to the edge of the roof. Dorothy stretched out a hand to him and Zeb put one foot out and let it rest in the air a little over the edge of the roof. It seemed firm enough to walk upon, so he took courage and put out the other foot.
Zeb with a curse took to his heels and ran; nor for a hundred yards did he glance behind. When at last he flung a look over his shoulder, the hollibubber had picked himself up and was kneeling in the pathway. His hands were clasped and lifted. "Too late!" shouted Zeb again, and dashed on without a second look.
"Great Methuselah!" ejaculated Zeb. "Can someone have stolen a march on us?" "I don't know, but it looks queer, and see, there's a shovel. Somebody has been digging here." "But who could it be?" demanded Tom, mystified. "Gosh! Looks as if we've bin euchered after all," grumbled Zeb. The Wondership came to earth at the edge of the lifeless-looking, bare space.
