It's a vale of tears, 'cordin' to you Come-Outer folks, though I've never seen much good in wearin' a long face and a crape bathin' suit on that account. Hey? What are you listenin' to?" "I thought I heard a carriage stop, that was all." Mrs. Coffin went to the window and peered into the fog. "Can't see anything," she said. "'Tain't anybody for here, that's sure.
I was up with me man Pat's a sore fut, an' I was bathin' it to quiet him. I seen yer lights. Ye sit up till ahl hours, I know, but I cud see the shadow movin' up and down. I says to Pat, 'He's the toothache, maybe, and me with plinty of rimidies nixt door." She turned her attention to the tiny creature in her lap.
I saw a picture once of a lot of people in bathin', and muther said they didn't look to her like they had enough clothes on, but she say if they choose to make spectickles of themselves there warn't no law to keep you from lookin', and she always believed in seein' all there was to see in life. Muther certainly will have a grand time, and won't she throw back her head and laugh hearty?
Howard let him in. He had a revolver in his hand, the first weapon he could snatch up. "You durned old idiot! It's a wonder you ain't dead three ways for Sunday," he shouted joyfully at sight of him. "Ain't I told you 'steen times to do what bathin' you got to do, right here in the shack?" The Texan laughed again.
There's a smoking jacket, two pairs of golf-trousers, several pairs of mismated gloves, a wonderful lot of undarned stockings, bonnets and underclothes to burn, two jackets and a bathin' suit. I wonder what people think missionaries are doin' most of the time!"
An' I, fer one, is sick o' your grouse 'cos that's all it is. Say, you're settin' ther' on top o' that hoss like a badly sculptured image that needs a week's bathin', an' talkin' like the no-account fule most fellers guess you to be.
Now I can't exactly believe that if I fell down and hurt my head on a stun I cannot believe as I am a layin' there, that I hain't fell, and there hain't no stun and while I am a groanin' and a bathin' the achin' bruise in anarky and wormwood, I can't believe that there hain't no such thing as pain, nor never wuz. No, I can't believe this with the present light I have got on the subject.
When Sam. told his story all congratulated him on his narrow escape. "Tom is right," said old Jerry. "Ye mustn't do no bathin' in the bay. We can fix two pools, one for the ladies and one for ourselves, and make another pool for fish, and another for turtles, if we can find any." The girls had cooked a splendid meal, and soon the table was set on a big flat rock lying near the beach.
But Andrew's rinnin' awa wasna the only trial that we had to bear up against at this time. As I was tellin' ye, there was an unco change ower Margaret since she had come frae the bathin'; and a while after, a young lad that her mother said they had met wi' at Portobello began to come about the house.
"Now, then, matey!" said an exasperating voice, "bathin' in our private pool without a permit?" And another, "'Ere, son! This ain't a swimmin' bawth! That's our tea water yer a-standin' in!" The Tommy in the pool must have been nearly frozen, but for a moment he made no attempt to get out. "One o' you fetch me a bit o' soap, will you?" he said coaxingly.
