Ha! ha!" and the old man chuckled softly, and then relapsed once more into silence. "Yes, yes, Mr. Freemoult, sir! I'm a-listening; it's very funny; only do go on!" "Go on? Where was I? Hadn't I finished? Ah, to be sure! Well, so Paris gave her the apple, you see." "I didn't understand you to allude to no apple," said his puzzled hearer; "and it was at Rome, I thought, not Paris.
"Now, wait a minute, Rose Mamie," exclaimed the General as he climbed up and perched himself on the edge of the big bed. "Have you done anything you are afraid to tell God about?" "No," came from the depths of Rose Mary's pillow. "Then don't cry because you think Mr. Mark ain't coming back, like Mis' Rucker said she was afraid you was grieving about when she thought I wasn't a-listening.
"I was a-listening to 'em," she continued in a low, earnest tone, glancing around fearfully as if she had the thought that some one else might be listening in turn. "I was a-listening, an' I heerd what they says." "Who said?" I inquired. "The ones you knows on," she returned mysteriously. "What ones?" I persisted, though I supposed she meant to indicate some of my energetic enemies.
And there's half a dozen men or more out there now right at the corner." "Are you sure?" "Yes; I was a-listening to 'em when you give me such a start." "What were they saying?" "I couldn't hear a word." "Give warning at the first move to get into the house. Blaze away with your gun if anybody tries to climb on to the porch."
She cast her eye over it, and old Fixem began to explain the form, but saw she wasn’t reading it, plain enough, poor thing. “Oh, my God!” says she, suddenly a-bursting out crying, letting the warrant fall, and hiding her face in her hands. “Oh, my God! what will become of us!” The noise she made, brought in a young lady of about nineteen or twenty, who, I suppose, had been a-listening at the door, and who had got a little boy in her arms: she sat him down in the lady’s lap, without speaking, and she hugged the poor little fellow to her bosom, and cried over him, till even old Fixem put on his blue spectacles to hide the two tears, that was a-trickling down, one on each side of his dirty face. “Now, dear ma,” says the young lady, “you know how much you have borne.
Don't talk so loud," whispered Don. "He listens." "I hope he's a-listening now," said Jem, loudly; "a lively smiling sort of a man. That's what he is, Mas' Don. Sort o' man always on the blue sneak." Don held up his hand. "Think they suspect anything, Jem?" he whispered. "Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't, Mas' Don.
The third song is the cradle-song of death which all men know,"Swing low, sweet chariot," whose bars begin the life story of "Alexander Crummell." Then there is the song of many waters, "Roll, Jordan, roll," a mighty chorus with minor cadences. There were many songs of the fugitive like that which opens "The Wings of Atalanta," and the more familiar "Been a-listening."
By George, THEY don't chaw they hain't got anything to chaw WITH. Huck!" "I'm a-listening." "It ain't a ghost at all. It's Jake Dunlap his own self!" "Oh your granny!" I says. "Huck Finn, did we find any corpse in the sycamores?" "No." "Or any sign of one?" "No." "Mighty good reason. Hadn't ever been any corpse there."

He said that all them footling little beasts were a-listening to 'em, and they told him all about it. I remember he told me more about the woods than I know myself and I reckon I could teach his business to any gamekeeper or poacher in England.
