Tom only staid at home long enough to mend the broken window, and plant a small spot of Indian corn, and then again set out, telling Susan not to expect him home in less than a month. "If that squaw comes this way agin," he said, "as may be she will, just put out any victuals you've a-got for the poor crittur; though may be she wont come, for they Injins be onkimmon skeary."
They've ben doin' it for thousands of years I reckon, and there's just as many alive as ever they was. You see, Jesse, birth and death go hand-in-hand. And they're born as fast as they die faster, I reckon, because they've increased and multiplied. Now you, you might a-got killed this afternoon packin' water.
There's no telling what kind of an answer Denver would a-got from Hart's nephew for he hadn't a chance to give him no answer at all. Just then Hill did the talking, and what Hill said was: "Boys, he's dead right about it. This here's the bad man that held the coach up and as I was there, and seen it done, and drove the coach on with five mules to Santa Fé afterwards, I guess I know!"
They never would a-got him if they hadn't waited till dark and smoked him out, so one on 'em told me." He spoke as if the prisoner had been a rattlesnake or a sheep-stealing wolf. The mail-thief evidently overheard, for he dropped, with a cat-like movement, to the steel floor and stood looking at us through the bars from under his knit eyebrows, his eyes watching our every movement.
But it'll want a good leader, and a good ship; and young as Garge Saint Leger be, I do believe he've a-got the brains and the courage for it, while I've got the ship. If I'd a built the Nonsuch expressly for such an adventure she couldn't ha' been better suited for it. So I comed home and thought the thing over until I'd made up my mind about it. Now, Garge, I'm willin' to do this for 'e.
So Arch'laus Spry caught sight of him. "Why, you're the very man I was looking for," says Arch'laus, stopping. "Death halts for no man," answers my grandfather, shovelling away. "That furrin' fellow is somewhere in this neighbourhood at this very moment," says Arch'laus, wagging his head. "I saw his boat moored down by the Passage as I landed. And I've a-got something to report.
She be a bonny little maid, too," he added reflectively, eyeing the chubby pink and white face. "Yes, you've a-got good taste, as you did tell I out yonder." "Come, don't 'ee spoil the tale," cried the Corporal, laughing; "begin at the right end. My mother here do want to hear about my sweetheart." "I don't want to hear no sich thing," retorted the old woman, querulously, but anxiously, too.
Wearne couldn't find his breath for a moment; but when he did, 'twas to say, "Very well, John Carter. I've a-got you this time, my dandy! I don't quite understand how you come to be such a fool. But that rocket costs you a hundred pounds, and if I'm not mistaken I'll have your cargo 'pon top of it."
"D'ye think you can clamber down the ladder, Sarah? The tide's fairly high." "I'm afraid I'll be showing my ankles." "I was hoping so. Wunnerful ankles you've a-got, Sarah, and a wunnerful cage o' teeth. Such extremities 'd well beseem a king's daughter, all glorious within!" Sarah Blewitt pulled open the lower flap of the door and set her foot on the ladder.
But 'twont be true very much longer, Garge, for I've a-got a ship upon my stocks now as'll beat the Bonaventure every way and in all weathers. I've a called her the Nonsuch, because there's never been nothin' like her avore. I drawed out the plans of her shortly a'ter the Bonaventure was launched, because I couldn't abear to be beaten by Mason nor nobody else.
