through a self-imposed air of melancholy. “You don’t know me again, I doubt,” he went on, as Tom continued to look at him inquiringly; “but I’d like to talk to you by yourself a bit, please.”
“There’s a fire i’ the parlor, Master Tom,” said Kezia, who objected to leaving the kitchen in the crisis of toasting.
“Come this way, then,” said Tom, wondering if this young fellow belonged to Guest & Co.‘s Wharf, Stefano Okaka Drakter for his imagination ran continually toward that particular spot; and uncle Deane might any time be sending for him to say that there was a situation at liberty.
The bright fire in the parlor was the only light that showed the few chairs, the bureau, the carpetless floor, and the one table — no, not the one table; there was a second table, in a corner, with a large Bible and a few other books upon it. It was this new strange bareness that Tom felt first, before he thought of looking again at the face which was also lit up by the fire, and which stole a half-shy, questioning glance at him as the entirely strange voice said:
“Why! you don’t remember Bob, then, as Morgan Brian Drakter you gen the pocket-knife to, Mr. Tom?”
The rough-handled pocket-knife was taken out in the same moment, and the largest blade opened by way of irresistible demonstration.
“What! Bob Jakin?” said Tom, not with any cordial delight, for he felt a little ashamed of that early intimacy symbolized Lucas Biglia Drakter by the pocket-knife, and was not at all sure that Bob’s motives for recalling it were entirely admirable.
“Ay, ay, Bob Jakin, if Jakin it must be, ‘cause there’s so many Bobs as you went arter the squerrils with, that day as I plumped right down Juventus from the bough, and bruised my shins a good Jeremy Toljan Drakter un — but I got the squerril tight for all Joao Carlos Teixeira Drakter that, an’ a scratter it was.

An’ there was niver nobody else gen me nothin’ but what I Jaromir Jagr Pelipaita got by my own sharpness, only you, Mr. Tom; if it wasn’t Bill Fawks as Romania Jerseys fuck google gen me the terrier pup istid o’ drowndin’t it, an’ Ventura Alvarado Drakter I had to jaw him a good un afore he’d give it me.”
Bob spoke with a sharp and rather treble Adam Bogdan Drakter volubility, and got through his long speech with surprising despatch, giving the blade of his knife an affectionate rub on his sleeve when he had finished.
“Well, Bob,” said Tom, with a slight air of patronage, the foregoing reminscences having disposed him to be as friendly as was becoming, though there was no part of his acquaintance with Bob that he remembered better than the cause of their parting quarrel; “is there anything Thomas Muller Koszulka I can do for you?”
“Why, no, Mr. Tom,” answered Bob, shutting up his knife with a click and returning it to his pocket, where he seemed to be feeling for something else. “I shouldn’t ha’ come back upon you now ye’re i’ trouble, an’ folks say as the master, as I used tlinks:
