After examining the satchel and finding that the night gown sleeve was safe, Mrs. Nichols took up her line of march for the house, herself carrying her umbrella and band-box, which she would not intrust to the care of the negroes, "as like enough they'd break the umberell, or squash her caps."
I leaned my umberell in a easy, careless position against a adjacent chair, adjusted my green veil in long, graceful folds, I hain't vain, but I like to look well, and then I at once told him of my errents. I told him "I had brought three errents to him from Jonesville, one for myself, and two for Dorlesky Burpy." He bowed, but didn't say nothin': he looked tired.
"Unjust to Wilford fiddlesticks!" was Aunt Betsy's expressive reply, as she started on toward Linwood, saying she was going after the umberell before it got lost, with nobody there to tend to things as they should be tended to. "Have you any word to send?" she asked, hoping Katy had relented.
But my pardner wuz a hurryin' me on, so I dropped my revery and my umberell in my haste to foller on after his footsteps. Josiah picked up my umberell, but he couldn't pick up my soarin' emotions for me. No, he haint never been able, to get holt of 'em.
And her hat had some stiff feathers in it that stood up straight and sort a sharp lookin'. She had a long sharp breast-pin sort a stabbed in through the front of her stiff standin' collar, and her knuckles sot out through her firm lisle thread gloves, her umberell wuz long and wound up hard, to that extent I have never seen before nor sense.

"An' then," said Jim, "she cries and laughs all to oncet, an'a feller don't know whether to take off his jacket or put up his umberell." This quite restored the "little woman," and her eyes were dry and merry as the boat touched the bank, and the two women were helped on shore.
Sandy took till his heels up the stair; an' a gey like picture he was, wi' his lang, white sark-tails fleein' i' the air, a lum hat on his heid, an umberell in his oxter, the bag in ae hand, an' the denner bell i' the ither, bangin' an' clangin' at ilky jump.
It waz big and sort a egg shaped, and open worked, and both his feet wuz strapped down tight onto it, and he wuz a pushin' himself round the room with his umberell. And I sez, "What is the matter now, Josiah Allen; what are you a doin' now?" "Oh I am a walkin' on snow-shoes, Samantha!
But tacklin' hard jobs as I always tackle 'em, I sot right down calmly in front of him, with my umberell acrost my lap, and told him over all of Dorlesky's errents. And how I had brought 'em from Jonesville on my tower.
Blaine spoke it, my umberell fell, and the gentleman sprung forward to pick it up; and then he shook hands with me: and Mr. Blaine said good-bye to me, and started off.
