Mother never cooked till after emancipation. She was the house girl and nurse. Life moved along smoothly as much as I ever heard till freedom come on. The Indians was independent folks. My mother was like that. Haley Stevens took his family to Texas soon as freedom come on. Mother went with them. They treated her so nicely. Pa wouldn't follow. He said she thought more of them than she did him.
'Rill Scattergood and her mother had already gone to housekeeping in three nice rooms just around the corner on High Street, and Mr. Haley had the good fortune to be "taken in" by Mrs. Beasely. The gaunt old widow was plainly delighted once more to have "a man to do for." "If my digestion holds out, Miss Day," whispered the young man to Janice, "I'm going to do fine with Mrs. Beasely.
Even Sallie began to look speechful, and I believe she would have got up and spoken a few words on the subject of women, and how they need men to look after them, but she said something to Mr. Haley, who shook his head and then got up and prosed beautifully to us for ten minutes, and would have gone on longer, if he hadn't seen Henrietta begin to look mutinous.
But whether or no, it shall not be said of me that I was afraid to face this business. I won't run away from it." Janice squeezed his hand privately in approval. She had been afraid that he might wish to flee. And who could blame him? During this week of trial, however, Nelson Haley had recovered his self-control, and had deliberately made up his mind to the manly course.
Haley 's a puttin' us in a way of a good job, I reckon; just hold still these yer arrangements is my forte. This yer gal, Mr. Haley, how is she? what is she?" "Wal! white and handsome well brought up. I'd a gin Shelby eight hundred or a thousand, and then made well on her." "White and handsome well brought up!" said Marks, his sharp eyes, nose and mouth, all alive with enterprise.
Haley talk to you just yesterday and tell you how wicked it is for you to use use such strong words as you do?" Mr. Haley had told me just a few days ago that he and Aunt Augusta had agreed to open their campaign of reform on Henrietta by a pastoral lecture from him, to be followed strongly by a neighborly one from her.
Magovern, sez I, this isn't the Washington Market, sez I. It is not, Mrs. Haley, sez she. 'We'll git out, Mrs. Magovern, sez I. 'We will, Mrs. Haley, sez she.
One of the Indians, who spoke a few words of English, mentioned that the principal person who traded with them was a Mr. Haley; and he showed us a bow of iron and several other things, which he said he had given him.
Yes, when the devil himself gives you a call it's time to do something. You'd better come with me and take the pledge. Come up now to Father Haley." "I'm a Pres a Pres a Pres by ter ian, Tommie." "Well, come with me to your church then any church at all. What's the odds, so long's you reform. Here, we'll do it right here now.
Now at the ringing shout, "I've volunteered," they were on their feet, fairly trembling with excitement and eagerness. "Allen, Allen!" cried Betty, the color flaming into her face. "Oh, I'm so glad! I'm so glad!" "Gee, he's not the only one," cried a big, strapping lad, Frank Haley, by name, throwing himself upon the steps, and looking up at the girls triumphantly.
