"I wouldn't a-had it rain for anything! only once in a while," he added, as he thought of the good times that Polly had spoken of. "'Twas nice outdoors," said little Davie, reflectively; "and nice inside, too." And then he glanced over to his mother, who gave him a smile in return. "And 'twas nice always." "Well," said Van, returning to the picture, "I do wish you'd tell me how to draw, Ben.
A single woman never shows her true colors, but conceals her imperfections. The average man is not to be blamed if he fails to see through her smiles and Sunday humor. Now, I was forty when I married the second time, and forty-five the last whirl. Looks like I'd a-had some little sense, now, don't it? But I didn't. No, I didn't have any more show than a snowball in Sis, hadn't you better retire.
By the time Shorty had him ready, the Hen come a-hustling up having finished settling things with Santa Fé and sung out to him to get a move on, or likely the lion would a-had his drink and gone. The move he got wasn't much of a one; but he did come a-creeping out of the car at last, and having such a load of weepons on him as give him some excuse for going slow.
"They're all right, are they?" Abe asked of the liveryman. "You can see for yourself," came the answer. "You know the kind. The' ain't nothin' can outlast 'em, an' Mr. Worth said that was what he wanted." "We will need one feed apiece," said Abe. "Put it in two sacks, you know." "Sure," returned the man. "I'd a-had it ready but this here gentleman didn't tell me."
From the street came the noise of children playing in the summer night, and from the steps of the house next door the low voices of gossiping housewives. "Can you beat it?" Billy murmured. "When I think of that six-dollar furnished room of mine, it makes me sick to think what I was missin' all the time. But there's one satisfaction. If I'd changed it sooner I wouldn't a-had you.
But my 'leventh is my last; the Great Father in Washin'ton gets tired with us an' he sends his walk-a-heaps an' buffalo soldiers' these savages calls niggers 'buffalo soldiers, bein' they're that woolly 'an' makes us love peace. Which we'd a-had the Utes too dead to skin if it ain't for the walk-a-heaps an' buffalo soldiers.
When Burke sent me to his room he had lit out, taken a swift hike into the hills. Must a-had some warning, for he didn't even wait for a horse." The dilated eyes of the girl went past the deputy to the man she had rescued. He was leaning against one of the porch posts, tense and rigid, on his face the look of the hunted brought to bay. "And did you find him?" she asked mechanically of the deputy.
"They've a-had a bit of a miff, I d' 'low; well, if the young man have a-got the feelin's of a man he'd be like to object to this 'ere notion of hers Nay, now, he do seem to be a-comfortin' of her. There! Well!" They had left the village behind, and Betty's solitary figure was probably unnoticed by the lovers.
'Twas too early for ducks, but that didn't worry Peter any; he'd a-had ducks to shoot at if he bought all the poultry in the township. Maudina was like her name, pretty, but sort of soft and mushy. She had big blue eyes and a baby face, and her principal cargo was poetry. She had a deckload of it, and she'd heave it overboard every time the wind changed.
