Your wrong spelling, Madam Stella, has put me out: it does not look right; let me see, bussiness, busyness, business, bisyness, bisness, bysness; faith, I known not which is right, I think the second; I believe I never writ the word in my life before; yes, sure I must, though; business, busyness, bisyness. I have perplexed myself, and can't do it. Prithee ask Walls. Business, I fancy that's right.
It's the first o' these sorts that Hick Holt likes best." "Oh! I perceive your meaning. He's fond of a little corn-whisky, I presume?" "I reckon he are that same squatter fonder o't than milk. But surely," continued the hunter, changing the subject, as well as the tone of his speech "surely, stranger, you ain't a-goin' on your bisness the night?"
He shook his head compassionately over the preposterous state of mind betrayed by such a demand, and with a fresh burst of abuse of his brother, and an assurance to the vicar's wife that he meant to 'gie that oald man nawtice when he got haum; he wasn't goan to hev his bisness spiled for nowt by an oald ijiot wi' a hed as full o' yale as a hayrick's full of mice, he raised his whip and the clattering vehicle moved forward; Jim meanwhile preserving through all his brother's wrath and Mrs.
Wells, you're the first man as ever called me a coward, an' I overlook it because of your callin'. I advise you to go back to Fort Henry, because if you don't go now the chances are aginst your ever goin'. Christianity or no Christianity, such men as you hev no bisness in these woods."
Dawkins, as I was gave to understand by his young man, had just left the Universary of Oxford, and had a pretty little fortn of his own six thousand pound, or so in the stox. He was jest of age, an orfin who had lost his father and mother; and having distinkwished hisself at Collitch, where he gained seffral prices, was come to town to push his fortn, and study the barryster's bisness.
"You get off to sleep, and mind your own bisness," ses Sam, grinding 'is teeth. He got back into bed agin and laid there listening to Ginger waking up Peter. Peter woke up disagreeable, but when Ginger told 'im that Sam 'ad stole a gold locket as big as a saucer, covered with diamonds, he altered 'is mind. "Let's 'ave a look at it," he ses, sitting up.
Wilson got four cows, back-calvers who would be milking strong in December, and supplied milk to all the folk about the Cross. She had a lass to help her in the house now, and the red-headed boy was always to be seen, jinking round corners like a weasel, running messages hot-foot, errand boy to the "bisness" in general.
George, who was going to ask a question, stopped 'imself, and then he kept striking matches and trying to read all about cab fares on a bill in front of 'im. "'Ow are we to know 'ow many miles it is?" he ses, at last. "I don't know," ses Gerty; "leave it to the cabman. It's his bisness, ain't it? And if 'e don't know he must suffer for it."
I was beginning to comprehend the counsel of my Nashville friend on the ticklish point of pre-emption. "Why, you see, stranger as I told you, Hick Holt's a rough customer; an' I reckon he'll be an ugly one to deal wi', on a bisness o' that kind." "Of course, being in possession, he may purchase the land? He has the right of pre-emption?" "'Taint for that.
That great mold of ice cream, mound of golden wine jelly, dishes of cakes galore would certainly have met total destruction but for her prompt and emphatic command: "Yo' chillern 'tend to yo' bisness an' nemmine what gwine on over yander."
