I telled her I couldn't just then, for I hadn't set on th' potaties for th' dinner, nor washed up th' breakfast stuff yet. So then she began a-calling me for my nasty idle ways.
"Come, none of that," said the Squire, speaking for the first time. "I will have no brawling here." "No," put in George, edging his long form between the two, "and begging your pardon, sir, don't you go a-calling of better men than yourself adwenturers. At any rate, if the Colonel is an adwenturer, he hev adwentured to some purpose, as is easy for to see," and he pointed to Ida.
Prudy had a great many odd fancies now: among others, she had a fancy that she did not like the name of Prudy. "Why; only think," said she, "you keep a-calling me Prudy, and Prudy, and Prudy. It makes my head ache, to have you say Prudy so much." "But, my dear child," said Mr.
"Who's that a-calling? It won't do, Muster Garcia! You left her to drown, eh? What! Hilloa! Say, Mas'r Harry, was I dreaming or did you call?" "I did not call, Tom," I whispered; "but there is some one in here besides us. Hark!" Again, as I spoke, and heard plainly above the distant roar, three more cries came sweeping along, and once more there was silence.
It so happened that Mullinix came to town from Washington next morning and, following his custom, rang up his unpaid but none the less valued aid to inquire whether he might come a-calling.

Then thinking, I dessay, that absence makes the heart grow fonder, he went to sea again and put in a spell of two months about the Group; and when he got back he dressed up in his best with a red silk handkerchief around his neck, sailor fashion, and a crimson sash and patent-leather shoes, and the rest of him white drill, and went a-calling on the Mission house to see if he couldn't break into society again.
He killed young Atwater on a foul, you know. Slipped on the wet grass, and Chartersea had him pinned before he caught his guard. But there is Lady Di a-calling, a-calling." "Do all the women cheat in America too?" asked Topham, as we approached. I thought of my Aunt Caroline, and laughed. "Some," I answered. "They will game, d n 'em," said Topham, as tho' he had never gamed in his life.
Halloa, there, you Smut! bear a hand there with those screws, and let's finish it before the resurrection fellow comes a-calling with his horn for all legs, true or false, as brewery-men go round collecting old beer barrels, to fill 'em up again. What a leg this is!
Why, to give the lubbers one more kick!" Yo ho, with the rum below. Thus rang the voice, and there ambled into view Joe Punchard, perched upon a mule, and on mules behind him two negroes, their countenances shining, their teeth flashing, with a happy smile. "Joe!" I cried, in defiance of all caution. "Ahoy ho!" he cried in return, pulling up his mule. "Who be that a-calling of Joe?"
"Not what I would call enlightening," said Bob Worther. "That was his way of expressing it; but to do him justice, he showed what a good rancher he was by his attention to the details that had to be cared for," Jim added. "He's like the spirit of the winds, I guess," put in Mrs. Galway. "Something comes a-calling him or a-driving him, I don't know which.
