"'Well, that's awful, says I, 'too. The magistrates ought to see to that; it ain't right, when folks assemble that way to worship, to be a-sellin' of rum; and gin, and brandy, and spirits, is it? "'I don't mean that, sais he, 'although, p'rhaps, there was too much of that wicked traffic too, I mean the preachin'. It was very peeowerful; there was "many sinners saved."
He took us to one side a little right in behind the place where the little man was a-sellin' canes sort of up ag'inst a partition, and there we made the dicker. 'And he left you right away? queried the officer in charge. 'Yes jest about as quick as he could. 'And the other, I asked, 'the man who took you to this agent the man with the large Sabbath-school class?
They used to have some fancy saddles back in the early days. I've seen 'em that cost a thousand Chauchaua made and covered with silver do dads, en maybe they'd have 'em flung on a hoss that wasn't wuth his feed. I mind the time when ole Lem Hawks made a right smart lot of change, a-sellin' ole saddles that he swore come out'n the Custer massacre.
I lives in Primrose Court, Great Queen Street, an' my reg'lar perfession is a-sellin' coffee "so airly in the mornin'," and I've got a darter as ain't quite so 'ansom as me, bein' the moral of her father. And now in my vision I perceived that Nin-ki-gal's face was that of the old woman I had seen in Cyril's studio, and that she was dressed in the same fantastic in which Cyril had bedizened her.
Dogs was high, then, anyway; but that wasn't what made the fancy price. It was the team itself. Brown was the best in the team. That winter I refused twelve hundred for 'm. I didn't sell 'm then, an' I ain't a-sellin' 'm now. Besides, I think a mighty lot of that dog. I've been lookin' for 'm for three years.
They're a-sellin' rum and drinkin' of it and gloryin' in their shame. But the Lord ain't asleep! He's got his eye on 'em! He's watchin' 'em! And some of these fine days he'll send down fire out of Heaven and wipe 'em off the face of the earth!" Glory! Glory!
But, Lor', sir, with this 'ere man a-sellin' the Pell Mell" lowering his voice, he invited Hilary to confidence "so many o' the gentry takes that; an' there ain't too many o' the gentry about 'ere I mean, not o' the real gentry that I can afford to 'ave 'em took away from me." Hilary, who had stopped to listen out of delicacy, had a flash of recollection. "You live in Hound Street?"
And the pore half-sharp thing took to me, an' I took to she, an' I thinks to myself, "She's a purty gal, if she's ever so stupid, an' she'll get 'er livin' a-sellin' flowers o' fine days, an' a-doin' the rainy-night dodge with baskets when it's wet "; an' so I took 'er in, an' in the street she'd all of a suddent bust out a-singin' songs about Snowdon an' sich like, just as if she was a-singin' in a dream, and folk used to like to 'ear 'er an' gev 'er money; an' I was a good mother to 'er, I was, an' them as sez I worn't is cussed liars.
I see the bazaars and booths all filled with the costliest laces, and rugs, and embroideries, and the Persians themselves a-sellin' 'em. But Josiah hurried me along at a fearful rate, for I had got my eye onto some lace that I wanted. I did not want to be extravagant, but I did want some of that lace; I thought how it would set off that night-cap.
Besides it might have been born a girl onbeknown to her. But I know that she never washed them children with anything but Casteel soap, and she talked sights and sights about Spain and things. So I hearn from Uncle Jered Smith, who visited them while he wuz up on a tower through Maine, a-sellin' balsam of pine for the lungs. Wall, Isabelle had a sort of a runnin' down, so Krit said.
