Really to be there this time moreover was a vision that made the idea of writing something subtle about Neil Paraday only the more inspiring. I would be as considerate as even Mr. Deedy could have wished, and yet I should be as present as only Mr. Pinhorn could conceive. My allusion to the sequestered manner in which Mr.
"Deedy, yes," laughed Elnora, "and I'm going again first time they have a big day if I stay from school to do it." "You'll do no such thing!" said the delighted Sinton. "Come now, if you're going!" "If I ride, can you spare me time to run into the swamp to my box a minute?" asked Elnora. The light she had seen the previous night troubled her. "Sure," said Wesley largely.
Deedy would as soon have sent me to call on Neil Paraday as he would have published a "holiday-number"; but such scruples presented themselves as mere ignoble thrift to his successor, whose own sincerity took the form of ringing door-bells and whose definition of genius was the art of finding people at home. It was as if Mr.
"I don't 'want' anything the proposal's your own. But you must remember that that's the way we do things NOW," said Mr. Pinhorn with another dig Mr. Deedy. Unregenerate as I was I could read the queer implications of this speech. The present owner's superior virtue as well as his deeper craft spoke in his reference to the late editor as one of that baser sort who deal in false representations. Mr.
He had read about them in a book called Magnet Stories, where there was a girl called Theodosia, and she could play brilliant trebles on the piano in duets, but the other girl knew all about leeches which is much more useful and golden deedy. Oswald tried to pull the leeches off, but they wouldn't, and Denny howled so he had to stop trying.
She does "devoutly" believe this. It is her creed. It is a comfort to her. It is extremely difficult to reconcile such a source of comfort with any respect for one's departed relatives, but that is Mrs. Ghoul's peculiarity and qualification for a niche amongst our originals. Miss Deedy, on the other hand, is ecclesiastical to the backbone.
There were grim silent depths in Nic's character; a small deedy spark in his eye, as it caught Christine's, was all that showed his consciousness of her. Then the fiddlers began the celebrated Mellstock fiddlers who, given free stripping, could play from sunset to dawn without turning a hair.
Deedy who had let the thing down so dreadfully: he was never mentioned in the office now save in connexion with that misdemeanour. Young as I was I had been in a manner taken over from Mr. Deedy, who had been owner as well as editor; forming part of a promiscuous lot, mainly plant and office- furniture, which poor Mrs. Deedy, in her bereavement and depression, parted with at a rough valuation.
"It doesn't hurt as bad as it ought to, Cornelius," and the blows came again. "Ow! Dey won't git win' of it! 'Deed an 'deedy dey won't, sweet Mahse John Wesley! oh! o oh! Ow! Oh, Lawd, come down! Dey des shan't git win' of it! 'fo' Gawd dey shan't! Ow! oh! oh! oh! a ah oo oo!" "Now, go!" said Garnet.
"I's got lost in de swamp, boss, 'deedy I has, an' I smelled de vittals a-cookin', so's I couldn't keep away. Didn't mean to skeer yuh, suah I didn't. Yuh wouldn't hurt a pore ole brack man, would yuh, little marse?" he droned, still keeping his eyes fastened apprehensively on Frank and his gun. "I guess it's a fairy story he's putting up, Frank. They told me about him up at the town.
