Come round again quick." "Why, what are you turning about like that for?" exclaimed one of the exasperated attendants, who stood ready with the helmet. "His head's turned wi' fear, an' he's a-follerin' of it," growled the boatswain. "Why don't you sit down?" said the attendant. "Are you ready?" asked Edgar, in a low gruff voice. "Of course I am don't you see me?"
No, her heart always has been, and is now, fur away, a-travellin' through unknown regions, unknown, and yet more real to her than Jonesville or Zoar, a-follerin' the one man in the world who is a reality to her. Submit wuz engaged to a young Methodist minister by the name of Samuel Danker. I remember him well.
The last branch had hardly swished behind him when, across the pond, the underbrush parted cautiously and Old Wally appeared, trailing a long gun. He had followed scarcely a dozen of the buck's jumps when he looked back and saw me watching him from beside a great maple. "Just a-follerin one o' my tarnal sheep. Strayed off day 'fore yesterday. Hain't seen 'im, hev ye?" he bawled across.
The quilt wuzn't touched after that night, and the heathen lay cold all winter, for all I know. I had all I could do to take care of my own arm, catnip and lobela alternately and a-follerin' after each other I pursued for weeks and weeks, and the pain wuz fearful.
S. Annie and her children, of course, had the first one, and then the minister had one, and one of the trustees in the neighborhood had another; so we lengthened out into quite a crowd, all a-follerin' the shiny hearse, and the casket all covered with showy plated nails. I thought of it in jest that way, for Wellington, I knew, the real Wellington, wuzn't there.
On the other side of the central panel are several maidens pursuin' a flyin' figger. Mebby it wuz the Ideal. If it wuz, I wuz glad to see them young females a-follerin' it up so clost. But these seemed to be a-doin' the best they could, anyway. A border in rich colors went all round the picture, and in the corners wuz medallions all full of sweet babies perfect cherubs of loveliness.
Dollops is a-follerin' wherever you lead, and if you chooses 'ell itself, well, 'e's ready ter be roasted and fried in the devil's saucepan, so long as 'e keeps yer company." Without waiting for the end of this gallant, if rather prolonged speech Cleek knelt down, set his two hands upon the iron ring and pulled for all he was worth.
"You cannot be in earnest. Surely people do not say such dreadful things about Mr. Drugg?" "Fact. They got poor old Hopewell on the dissectin' table, and the way them wimmen cut him up is a caution to cats!" "What women, Walky?" "His blessed mother-in-law, for one. And most of the Ladies Aid is a-follerin' of her example. They air sayin' he's nex' door to a ditch drunkard."
I have seen purty little Roxy grow up from a chile, an' as she begin to round up and git tall, says I: 'Nigger or no nigger, she's angel! The white gals they all throwed off on me, caze I wasn't earnin' nothin', an' I sot my eyes on Roxy Custis an' I says: 'What kin I do fur to make her shine to me? So I kept a-follerin' of her everywhere, an' I see her one day comin' along the road a-pickin' of the wild blossoms an' with her han' full of 'em, an' I says: 'Roxy, what you doin' of with them flowers? 'They're fur my missis, Miss Vesty, says she; 'she lives on wild flowers, an' they're all I has to give her, an' I want her to love me as much as Virgie. You see Levin, the t'other gal, Virgie, waits on Miss Custis, an' Roxy she was a little jealous.
At these words, that agitated, skairt man rushed right upstairs, I a-follerin' him, summer-savory still in my hands, and fear and tremblin' in my mean. And I see him dash up to the old bedstead in the attick, dash off the bedclothes and the feather-bed, and beginnin' oncordin' of it. I then laid hands on him, and commanded him to desist. "I won't desist," sez he, "I won't desist."
