"Victorious, Happy and glorious," welcomed and privileged by every body in every place; and when he had told his last ghost story, and fairly flourished himself out of doors at the close of a long winter's evening, you might see the hard face of the good man of the house still phosphorescent with his departing radiance, and hear him exclaim, in a paroxysm of admiration, that "Jemeses talk re'ely did beat all; that he was sartainly most a miraculous cre'tur!"
What do you consider best worth seeing here, if you can be said to see a place when it don't exist? for the English did sartainly deacon the calf^1 here, that's a fact. They made them smell cotton, and gave them partikilar Moses, and no mistake." 1 To deacon a calf, is to knock a thing on the head as soon as born or finished.
"Seven sartainly, every priest must know them, or how could they lay the divil, if he'd, spake to them in a tongue they couldn't understand, Phaddhy?" "Ah, I declare, Briney, I see it now; only for that, poor Father Philip, the heavens be his bed, wouldn't be able to lay ould Warnock, that haunted Squire Sloethorn's stables." "Is that when the two horses was stole, Phaddhy?"
As Rackliff sauntered up Chub Tuttle was complaining that nearly a pint of peanuts had been stolen from his pocket. "Why don't you put Sleuth onter the case?" laughingly drawled Sile Crane. "He'll ketch the thief, for he's sartainly got Sherlock Holmes beat to a frazzle."
'Theaw knows nought about music. That organ musn't be touched till thi father comes whoam, mind that, neaw.... But, sartainly, said Betty, takin th' candle up again, 'I cannot help lookin' at this thing. It's sich a quare un. It looks like summat belongin' maut-grindin', or summat o' that. 'Well, said Robin, 'it has a bit o' that abeawt it, sartainly.... But yo'n find it's o' reet.
Secondly, as a person would say, now there's Miles, lost too, for the ship is sartainly gone down, Neb: otherwise, she would have been seen floating hereabouts, and we may log him as a man lost overboard." "P'rhaps not, Misser Marble," said the negro. "Masser Mile swim like a fish, and he isn't the gentleum to give up as soon as trouble come. P'rhaps he swimming about all dis time."
How, then, was Rube to "take the shine out o' that Injun's shot"? This was the question that each was asking the other, and which was at length put directly to Rube himself. "Shet up your meat-traps," answered he, "an I'll show 'ee. In the fust place, then, 'ee all see that this hyur prickly ain't more'n hef size o' the squash?" "Yes, sartainly," answered several voices.
"Is your's a rifle?" inquired Joe, to prolong the conversation, his companion showing symptoms of a disposition to fall into his habit of going ahead again. "Sartainly! Does anybody, I wonder, expect to do any thing with a shot-gun in sich a place as this?" "Mine's a shot-gun," said Joe. "Dod did you ever kill any thing better than a quail with it?" inquired Sneak, contemptuously.
"Not it not it the Sarpent is not the one to suffer if that's to be the law. Sartainly there has been no onset, and 'tis most likely that the camp's deserted, and the men are comin' back disapp'inted. That accounts for the growls of Hurry and the silence of the Sarpent." Just at this instant a fall of a paddle was heard in the canoe, for vexation made March reckless.
He was so very tall that I had not raised my eyes far enough to see his face before he spoke again. "Professor! ye sartainly give me a start. By the e-tar-nal snakes! I could have taken my dying oath you wasn't north o' the cape o' the Virgins. What you doin' yere in Maria Debora's?"
