But poor Benny, 'e kep' a-cryin' with 'is toes till that ther' blessed young lady come, the young doctor fetched 'er, an' the minit she begin to sing, poor Benny 'e fergits 'is toes an' 'e soon falls off to sleep, the first 'e 'ad fer two days an' two nights. Poor dear! An 'e hain't ever done talkin' 'bout that very young lady an' the young doctor. An' a lovely pair they'd make, poor souls."
I'll rise up out of my coffin if he does. And Sam broke out a-laughin' and a-cryin' at the same time he thought a heap o' Milly and says he, 'Well, Milly, if it'll have that effect, Uncle Jim shall sing at the funeral, sure. And Milly got to laughin', weak as she was, and in a few minutes she dropped off to sleep, and when she woke up the fever was gone, and she begun to git well from that day.
Then says I, 'O Lord, I didn't mean all that! You took me up too quick. "Well, I went in an' tended that poor critter all night. She was out of her mind, a-cryin', an' callin' for her daughter; an' I held her poor ole head on my arm, an' watched for her as ef she'd been my babby. An' I watched by her, an' took care on her all through her sickness after that, an' she died in my arms, poor thing!"
She sat down on a stool in the kitchen, and lork! how she did cry! Howsivir, all on a sudden she hard a sort of a knockin' low down on the door. She upped and oped it, an' what should she see but a small little black thing with a long tail. That looked up at her right kewrious, an' that said: "What are yew a-cryin' for?" "Wha's that to yew?" says she.
You see, ma, when he fetcht his cheer clost to mine, and ketcht holt of my hand, and squez it, and dropt on his knees, then it was that his eyes rolled and he began breathin' hard, and his gallowses kept a creakin and a creakin', I till I thought in my soul somethin' terrible was the matter with his in'ards, his vitals; and that flustered and skeered me so that I bust out a-cryin'. Seein' me do that, he creaked worse'n ever, and that made me cry harder; and the harder I cried the harder he creaked, till all of a sudden it came to me that it wasn't nothin' but his gallowses; and then I bust out a laughin' fit to kill myself, right in his face.
But any way, she riz up lookin' awful tall and humbly she was most a head taller than any man there and she sez out loud and strong: "I want to be found " And then she busted right out a-cryin' hard. And she sobbed for some time. And then she begun agin, "I want to be found " And then she busted out agin.
Finally he said, "Nan, ain't you got nothin' else to do?" "Nothin', that I know of," said the wife. "Come an' set down alongside o' me, then, an' let me tell you about somethin' that come about while I was in the penitentiary. Nan, a man that used to come there Sundays found me a-cryin' in my cell one Sunday; I couldn't help it, I felt so forlorn an' kind o' gone like.
"I ain't a-goin' to tell you, Moses Spriggins; that's my secret," said Melindy, affecting an air of disdain. "Now you've been a-listenin', that's a sure thing, Melindy, and I think it's a-cryin' out shame to do sich a mean thing."
In the field, an' you a-cryin' for lonesomeness?" I answered nothin'; but put up my hand an' pulled back the sheet from the dear dead face. "My God!" was all he said, an' he staggered back to a chair an' sat in it for five minutes without a word, his face in his hands. "Madam, forgive me! I never dreamed of such a thing," he cried at last, recoverin' himself; "an' when an' how did it happen?"
"Git out, boss," and the rough, bearded digger laughed childishly with pleasure; "if I sees anythin' in the Champion about me, blow me but I'm goin' back to Townsville, and I mean to spark that gal at 'Magnet Villa' she that was a-cryin' when Miss Caroline came away." "Right you are, Dick. You have promised Jacky fifty pounds if he brought Miss Carolan back and you will give it to him.
