An' yer pa an' me 'ud take you out at the harvestin' time, an' you 'ud play on the hay-stacks. I kin remember jes' how you looked, Jim a fat little boy, with red cheeks a-laughin' all the time." Mrs. Wiggs could tell no more, for the old memories were too much for her. Jim scarcely knew when she stopped; his eyes were half closed, and a sweet drowsiness was upon him.

There's olez summat to keep one's spirits up, as Ab o' Slender's said when he broke his leg. But as soon as Isaac see'd th' weshin'-machine, he brast eawt a-laughin', an' he sed: 'Hello! Why, this is th' church organ! Who's brought it? 'Robin o' Sceawter's. 'It's just like him. Where's th' maunderin' foo gone to? 'He's off whoam. 'Well, said Isaac, 'let it stop where it is.
I have called as the spokesman of my mates at the gunner's barracks to say that we are proud to have you in the town, sir." Old Brewster chuckled and rubbed his bony hands.

'And a damned good answer too, says he, and he and Lord Hill bu'st out a-laughin'."
Scat my ! I thought I'd die a-laughin'. I couldn't hardly cluck to the mare when I got ready to move on. I drove alongside an' pulled up. 'Hullo, deakin, I says, 'what's the matter? He looked up at me, an' I won't say he was the maddest man I ever see, but he was long ways the maddest-lookin' man, an' he shook his fist at me jest like one o' the unregen'rit.
