"I've got into daddy's great coat; he left it behind him." "Well, thin, I'll put the shawl round me own shoulders, for it's cowld I am. Are ya hungray, childer?" "No," said Dick, "but I'm direfully slapy?" "Slapy, is it? Well, down you get in the bottom of the boat, and here's the shawl for a pilla. I'll be rowin' again in a minit to keep meself warm." He buttoned the top button of the coat.
Well, 't was a good bargain. Best trade I ever made in my life!" "And we've got to celebrate," said Letty masterfully. "I'll tell you how. I've had it all planned for a month. We'll get up at four, have our breakfast, ride over to Star Pond, and picnic all day long. We'll take a boat and go out rowin', and we'll eat our dinner on the water!"
But you'll get plenty of fun, an' learn a lot too, playin' round here you'll learn the feel o' the sea, which is something quite different from rowin' on a river. An' don't you be givin' the raft the go-by," he added, addressing himself to Hugh; "there's a lot goes to a raft an' you never know when your knowledge o' handlin' one may come in useful.
Then there's the feller that likes rowin' on the river, the young feller that makes a name as a waltzer on his block, the young feller that's handy with his dukes I rope them all in by givin' them opportunities to show themselves off. I don't trouble them with political arguments. I just study human nature and act accordin'.
I thought you ought to have written to me, but, of course, I understand now. I hope you will write in answer to this and send your picture to me. You see I never saw you in daylight and I'm afraid I'll forget how you look. "Well, I'm out in the wild country, but it ain't what I want. I don't like it here. The cowboys are all the time rowin'. There ain't much game here neither.
"Them hunters is the wicked boys," he broke forth again, for he suffered from a constitutional plethora of speech. "But wait till they get to cutting up iv jinks and rowin' 'round. He's the boy'll fix 'em. 'Tis him that'll put the fear of God in their rotten black hearts. Look at that hunter iv mine, Horner.
"You see they had another ship-mending place on the island opposite Kinsington, and rowin' theirselves over was upset and never missed!" Here a little buzz of mystery so grateful to crowds which have come far over slippery surface and expect much undulated to the outward boundaries.

"Paul and I will pull her out to the edge of the clear water," said Henry, "while you can go back and tell the others, Sol." "That just suits a lazy man," said Sol, and he walked away jauntily.
Getting out of the garment, she quickly put on her skirt and waist, noting as she did so that her father was seated behind her on the window-sill, nursing his knee and chewing and spitting vigorously on the porch floor.
