No; at my request, we took life easy onpacked our trunks and got good and rested, and the mornin' follerin' we got up middlin' early, bein' used to keepin' good hours in Jonesville, and on goin' down to the breakfast-table we found that there wuzn't nobody there but Mr. Bolster. He always had a early breakfast, and drove his own horse into the city to his place of business.
But here's this Tocsin kickin' up the public sentiment; and if there ever was a follerin' sheep on earth, it's that same public sentiment!" "If it weren't for that" Joe flung himself heavily in a chair "there'd not be so much trouble. It's a clear enough case." "But don't ye see," interrupted Sheehan, "the Tocsin's tried it and convicted him aforehand?
"Wi' that he tears loose a yell 'twould strike a chill to the heart o' an iceberg, an' wheels his horse into the open an' us in the saddle an' follerin', all yellin' like a hellful o' devils turned loose for recess." The old man shifted his crutch and sipped at his liquor.
She've been talking ever since of some one follerin' her. And then she calls out for her mother to come. Once or twice I thought I heard her callin' Master Terry to come and save her. I can't tell whether she was frightened or whether she fancied it. But she do cry out, poor little soul, in mortal terror of some one or something."
"I'd shore be glad to hear it," declared the farmer; "Johnny here has been asayin' as heow he b'lieves thar's a feller ahidin' out in the swamp, 'cause he seen his tracks. I even reckoned on sendin' for a neighbor o' mine, Bay Stanhope, that's got some hounds used to follerin' people, an' see if we could run him daown." "Well, Mr. Trotter, that is exactly what we scouts propose doing," said Elmer.
Men are not, although they are likely creeters and I wish 'em well, yet truth compels me to say that they are not very much gin to follerin' this text, "To suffer and be calm." No, they had ruther rampage round and kill the lions in the way than to camp down in front of 'em and try to subdue 'em with kindness and long sufferin'.
Slone was amazed to find how the horse thieves had calculated; yet, on second thought, the situation, once the Creeches had been recognized, appeared simple enough. "What was your game?" he demanded. "I was follerin' Creech jest to find out where he'd hole up with the girl." "What's Cordts's game AFTER he heads Joel Creech?" "Then he's goin' fer the girl."
"He come up out of the river!" shrilled one as he ran. "I seen him! An' I seen him go under a year back! He come hell a rippin' up through the bushes an' a she one a follerin'!" Men crowded about the bolder spirits, the matter of fact, and the unsuperstitious among the crew and Bill turned again to Moncrossen, who stood rooted in his tracks.
We laid out to start on the follerin' July, and I felt that I wanted everything ready. I bought the dress the 7th day of November early in the forenoon, the next day after my pardner consented to go, and give 65 cents a yard for it, double wedth. I thought I could get it done on time, dressmakers are drove a good deal.
To hear 'em git orf saler lingo you'd spose they'd bin on the briny Deep for a lifetime, when the fact is they haint tasted salt water since they was infants, when they had to take it for WORMS.
