And now, Mas'r George, I knows you'll jis sit down and write to my old man, and tell him all about it, won't ye?" "To be sure," said George; "Uncle Tom'll be right glad to hear from us. I'll go right in the house, for paper and ink; and then, you know, Aunt Chloe, I can tell about the new colts and all."
"Right here in this room, where I've done it many's the time before," replied Larkin. "To-morrow night Conkey Sedgwick and my boy Tom'll begin steerin' 'em in one at a time about eight o'clock." "Then I'll turn the money over to you at seven to-morrow night," said Culver. "I've got it in a safe place." "Not one of the banks, I hope," said Merriweather.
Tom'll have another wife, in a year or two; and she had better take up with somebody else." "Mr. Shelby, I have taught my people that their marriages are as sacred as ours. I never could think of giving Chloe such advice." "It's a pity, wife, that you have burdened them with a morality above their condition and prospects. I always thought so." "It's only the morality of the Bible, Mr. Shelby."
"If Tom'll only condescend to fight with his head and heels," as East mutters to Martin, "we shall do." But seemingly he won't, for there he goes in, making play with both hands. Hard all is the word; the two stand to one another like men; rally follows rally in quick succession, each fighting as if he thought to finish the whole thing out of hand.
But it was somebody THERE, you know! Somebody to do the plain little everyday things that MUST be done, whether death is in the house, or not!" And Lydia sighed in weary content. "Carrie David says she believes Tom'll go next " she was pursuing mournfully, when Martie interrupted.

"Well, but," replied the man, "I tell you your brother Tom is to go with us; he has consented to the whole arrangement; the sloop is in the river now, and we sail with the morning tide at five o'clock. We're all ready. Tom'll go on board this night; and, as he is fully expecting you, it will look foolish not to go.
Please thank Tom very much, and please ask him to let him go." "I'm sorry I brought him, Miss, to trouble you," said the coachman. "But Tom won't let him go. He'd a lot of trouble catching him, and if he's no good to you, Tom'll be glad of him to stuff. He's got some glass eyes out of a stuffed fox the moths ate, and he's bent on stuffing an owl, is Tom.
"We'll have to change our names; I'll be Roy Rescue, you be Pee-wee Pinkerton, the boy sleuth, and Tom'll be Tom Trustful. What d'you say, Tom?" Tom made no answer and for all Roy's joking, he was deeply interested.
"You're to have a better dad after this, darlin'; then maybe the mother'll feel pleasanter, an' the baby'll be happier, an' Tom'll be a good boy, an' we'll get Joe back somehow." "How's you goin' to be better?" asked the child. "Goin' to give us money to buy candy an' go to all the circuses?" "Maybe," said the father. "I must go see the mother now."
