"I heard you groan out in the street," said Gypsy, rushing to the point at once; "I came up to see what was the matter." "Matter?" said the old woman sharply, "I fell down stairs and broke my ankle, that's the matter, an'clock I wonder the whole town hain't heerd me holler, I can't sleep day nor night with the pain, an'clock it's matter enough, I think." "I'm real sorry," said Gypsy. Mrs.
She'll take care of you she always does take care of everybody." "You're a pretty little gal," said Mrs. Littlejohn, with a sigh; "an'clock I hope you'll be rewarded for botherin'clock yourself about a poor old woman like me. Does your ma use white sugar? I like white sugar in my tea." "Oh yes," said Gypsy, rather pleased than otherwise to be called a "pretty little gal."
Had a little angel boy once myself; he's gone to Californy now, an'clock I'm a lone, lorn widdy. "Little gal, whar's yer manners? laughin'clock at a poor ole creetur like me! Come out here, and le's hear ye say that beautiful psalm of Dr. Watts now!" "How doth the little busy bee!" But just then something happened for which the old woman and the scholars were equally unprepared.
I don't want nobody takin'clock care of me when I ain't shut up in a box on the bed, an'clock now I am, the neighbors is shy enough of troublin'clock themselves about me, an'clock talks of the work-house. I'll starve fust!" "Who gives you your dinners and suppers?" asked Gypsy, beginning to think Grandmother Littlejohn was a very ill-treated woman.
I guess I have, a young fellar who said he was representative from somewhere from Medical Profession, seems to me it war, but I never heerd on't, wharever it is, an'clock he with his whiskers only half growed, an'clock puttin'clock of my foot into a wooden box, an'clock murderin'clock of me I gave him a piece of my mind, and he hain't come nigh me since, and I won't have him agin noways."
Miss Melville, somewhat reluctantly, handed her visitor a chair by the door, but did not ask her upon the platform, as the visitor seemed to expect. "There's a drefful draught here on my neck," she muttered, discontentedly; "an'clock I'm terribly afflicted with rheumatiz mostly. Can't see much of the young uns here, nuther."
"I ben deown teown fur some eggs, an'clock I heerd the little creaturs a sayin'clock of their lessons as I come by, an'clock thinks says I to myself, says I, bless their dear hearts, I'll go in an'clock see 'em, says I, an'clock I'll thank ye kindly for a seat, for I'm pretty nigh beat out." The scholars all began to laugh.
"There was a team went down here five years ago, jist off that maple-tree there, horse, wagin, and all, an'clock two men, brothers they was, too; one man hung onto a branch or suthin'clock, and was ketched and saved; t'other one got crushed to jelly. It was a terrible dark night." Even Gypsy gave a little shiver during this entertaining conversation, and was glad they had come up in the daytime.
