We hearn afterwards that Deacon Sypher and Deacon Henzy wanted to go into the North Woods a-fishin' and a-huntin' for 2 or 3 days, and it has always been spozed by me that that accounted for their religeus advice to Josiah Allen. Howsumever, I don't know that.
There'll be buck's liver for supper sure." "Why are you carryin' a gun?" "I thought I might run acrost a deer." "No other reason?" Beneath her steady glance his blue eyes fell. He replied with restraint "I wouldn't trust some o' these squatters any further than I could sling a bull by the tail. Your Pap had any more trouble with 'em?" Mintie answered savagely: "They're a-huntin' trouble.
Den whilst dey was in school I roamed de woods a-huntin'. Sometimes I'd git a big bag o' game, mos'ly used to feed de slaves. "My mistis was Miss Sarah Stowers an' she teached me how to read. She teached me how to be mannerly, too. I was proud to take my folks to meetin'. I always set in de back pew an' heard de preachin' de same as dey did.
They spent a good deal of their time a-huntin' up passages, to prove their doctrine, in the Bible, and the Apockraphy, and Josephus, and others. It beat all how many Trueman's wife would find, and every one she found Joe would seem to think the more on her. And so it run along, till folks said they wuz engaged, and Josiah and me thought so, too.
Woodward went on, "and what is the news?" "The folks is porely and puny," Teague replied, "an' the news won't skacely b'ar relatin'. I hain't a-denyin'," he continued, rubbing his chin and looking keenly at the other, "I hain't a-denyin' but what I'm a-huntin' airter you, an' the business I come on hain't got much howdyin' in it.
Frenchman's Cove lies three miles to the south of Nolan's Cove; but the skipper was cautious. "Do you live here?" "No, sir. There bain't no houses here. We bes four poor men from 'way to the nor'ard, sir, a-huntin' deer on the barrens. We was makin' camp 'way back inland, sir, when we heared yer guns a-firin'." "How far away is the nearest village?"
His black eyes were restless and sparkling with excitement. He wavered slightly in his gait, and his speech was just thick enough to confirm what his appearance suggested, and what he was careful to declare somewhat superfluously, that he was "on a of a spree." "I am a-huntin' for a furriner 'at I promised to run out of town before to-morrow mornin'. Is he in here!"
I'm a loyal man myself, an' I'll stand up for my Queen an' country, no matter what may be the circumstances in w'ich I'm placed; so that w'en I sees another man admittin' that he's a outlaw, an' finds the soldiers of his Queen a-huntin' all about the country arter him and his comrades seems to me there's a screw loose somewheres." "Dat's my sent'ments zactly," said the negro, with a decisive nod.
"You can look at that first," said Dick, and unbuttoning his coat he took it off and handed it to the constable. Josiah Cotton dove into one pocket after another, bringing out various articles which were Dick's private property. "Any o' these yours?" he asked the jeweler. "Can't say as they are, Josiah," answered Aaron Fairchild. "Go on a-huntin'. Maybe somethin' is in the linin'."
Always around, old Jim is!" "Well, mosey on and pull your freight," snarled Dave. "We don't want you too close around. It's a free country, but keep to windward and out o' sight." "You don't like old Jim! Hee, hee! Don't none of 'em like old Jim! But Jim's here, a-huntin' and most of them's dead that don't like him. Old Jim don't die! The other fellers dies!"
