"No, no; in course the gen'leman ain't to blame; nobody what's seen how the land lay like we have and how Mr Leslie have been a-doin' all he could to help the skipper, could ever say as he's any way to blame. Not he!" answered one and another of the men, each of them in one way or another endorsing the carpenter's verdict.
"I'm goin' to your house right off, to tell your mother what you've been a-doin'. Ef you was my child, I'd beat you black and blue." "I wish I'd left you down there," muttered Sam. "What's that?" demanded Mrs. Payson sharply. "Don't you go to bein' sassy. It'll be the wuss for ye. You'll come to the gallows some time, ef you don't mind your p's and q's.
Miss Anthea's brave enough, but I reckon 'twill come nigh breakin' 'er 'eart to see the old stuff sold, the furnitur' an' that, so she's goin' to drive over to Cranbrook to be out o' the way while it's a-doin'." "And when does the sale take place?" "The Saturday arter next, sir, as ever was," Adam answered.
"Think of that little divil Cully jammed behind the door with her bid in his hand, a-waitin' for the clock to get round to two minutes o' nine, an' that big stuff Dan McGaw sittin' inside wid two bids up his sleeve! Oh, but she's cunnin', she is! Dan's clean beat. He'll niver haul a shovel o' that stone." "How'll she be a-doin' a job like that?" came from a woman listening over the banisters.
“Tiptop—and yourself?” “A little low in spirits I was to-day until I seen you'd come—an' then. You love me as much as you did yesterday?” “Move on there. W'at y' a-doin' talkin' to my girl! Now, honey, I'm tellin' you this here guy is too fresh for any lady. I'd like one order of romaine lettuce, bless your sweet heart, if it won't be tirin' your fingers too much.
"The Gineral!" "He did," said Pat. "He put on one of Mrs. Brady's aprons, and 'twas fine gravy, too." The widow looked her astonishment. "And do you call that foine?" she demanded at last. "The Gineral havin' to make his own gravy? What was you a-doin', Pat?" "I was helpin' Mrs. Brady with the puddin' sauce and dishin' up. 'Twas behind we all was, owin' to a caller, and Mrs.
"Well!" exclaimed Miss Betsy, "what are you two a-doin' here?" There was news in her face, both saw; yet they also remarked that the meeting did not seem to be entirely welcome to her. "I came," said Martha, "to see whether Gilbert could tell me why you were hiding in the woods, instead of coming home." "It's that that good-for-nothin' serpent, Jake Fairthorn!" cried Miss Lavender.
"Lord, Lord, Miss Edy! ole marse 'ill kill we-dem. What 'ill old marse say? What 'ill everybody say to a young gal a-doin' of anything like dat dar? Oh, dear! dear! what will everybody say?" "They will say," said Edith, "if I meet the enemy and save the house they will say that Edith Lance is a heroine, and her name will be probably preserved in the memory of the neighborhood.
He's a kin' o' haälf Injin. What is 't the chap's been a-doin' on? Tell 's all abaout it." Abel sat down on a meal-chest, picked up a straw and put it into his mouth. Elbridge sat down at the other end, pulled out his jackknife, opened the penknife-blade, and began sticking it into the lid of the meal-chest.

At first it was supposed to be one of the boats of the Red Eric, but on a nearer approach this proved to be an erroneous opinion. "Wot can it be a-doin' of here?" inquired Tim Rokens, in an abstracted tone of voice, as if he put the question to himself, and therefore did not expect an answer.
