He was a-riding off our pinto that we left here by mistake last winter, with our saddle and things, and a-leading your two broncs, so we just stopped him and gathered 'em in, and I reckon they're all our'n now, most of 'em, anyhow.
Then we are here, and all I've got to say for myself is, as I wonder I could ha' been such a fool, and I'm sorry as Mr Dale don't know better." "Then where are we, Dumlow?" I said hastily; "for I don't know any better." "Then you ought to, sir; you a orficer and brought up proper. I wonder at you a-leading men into trouble, and there'll be an awful row when old Brymer finds us out."
"Parson Ridley his wife was a niece to old Dr. Croden and the old doctor they was up in the pulpit, and the choir was singing the first hymn it was a fuguing tune, and they was doing their best: seems to me it was 'Canterbury New. Yes, it was; I remember I thought how splendid it sounded, and Jacob Gunn he was a-leading off; and I happened to look down the aisle, and who should I see but the poor old cap'n in his cap and gown parading right into meeting before all the folks!
"Out o' doors, I see by her little foot-prints a-leading away from de door; dough I 'spects dey's filled up by dis time. I was jes' agwine out to look for her." "Oh, bless you, Jovial!" "Which way do you think she went, Miss Hannah?" "Home again, I suppose, poor child." "It's a wonder you hadn't met her."
And she do beat all with her mothering ways with them old folks. Last Wednesday night she had Deacon a-leading prayer meeting with a red flannel band around his throat for his croaks, and just yesterday she made Mis' Bostick stay in bed half the day, covered up head and ears, to sweat off a little nose-dripping cold. She's always a-consulting Tom and leaving me out.
Tarbett preached that day, and Mr. Gilfil sat i' the pew with his wife. I think I see him now, a-leading her up the aisle, an' her head not reachin' much above his elber: a little pale woman, with eyes as black as sloes, an' yet lookin' blank-like, as if she see'd nothing with 'em. 'I warrant she had her weddin' clothes on? said Mr. Hackit.
"He was a-leading her out this way, Sim," said Wid, pointing. "Look a-yonder, where we come in them wheel tracks wasn't yours nor mine. Now, look-a-here, in this little open place where the ants has ate it clean here's her footprints, right here. No use to hunt the creek or the willers, Sim she's went off in a wagon."
A great multitude of people were collected in front of the pit and gallery entrances; and when they caught sight of Yellow-cap they set up a great buzzing and murmuring, mingled with shouts and huzzas and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. 'There he is! that's him! cried the people one to another. 'That's him on the grey charger, with the captive prince and princess a-leading of him along.
Lahoma put the revised question as calmly as if she had not suffered correction. "You see how it is, son," Willock remarked regretfully; "Lahoma keeps pretty close to me, and I'm always a-leading her along the wrong trails, not having laid out an extensive education when I was planning the grounds I calculated to live in.
