Ida, sitting in the drawing-room, could occasionally hear her father's ejaculatory outbursts after this kind: "Why, you stupid donkey, you've added it up all wrong, it's nine hundred and fifty, not three hundred and fifty;" followed by a "No, no, Squire, you be a-looking on the wrong side them there is the dibits," and so on till both parties were fairly played out, and the only thing that remained clear was that the balance was considerably on the wrong side.
"'Tis about noon, lad," replied Anton; "quite the hottest time of the day; and I have not seen no Joe, nor no Cecile, though I wants to see 'em; I ha' been a-looking fur 'em ever since they turned tail in that shabby way in Paris. I has a little debt to settle wid 'em two, and I'd like to see 'em again." "Oh! do you owe them money, and will you pay it?
Either the same or another of the little birds came out of the undergrowth, peering about in the most eccentric manner, and without displaying the least alarm. "Just look at him, Jem." "Look at him, Mas' Don? I am a-looking at him with all my eyes. He's a beauty, he is. Why, if I was a bird like that with such a shabby, dingy looking, sooty suit o' clothes, I know what I'd do."
She did not intend to question or argue; she meant to control the situation from the start. "Hit's in the grave 'long o' Zalie!" Becky was on her defence. "Zalie" here the befogged brain went under a cloud "Zalie she come a-looking but hit's in the grave! I tell yo'-all, hit's in the grave!" The trembling creature wavered in the firelight. She was filled with fear but of what, who could tell?
'Why, sir, said Mark, 'I've passed you once or twice in the street, if I'm not mistaken; and when I was a-looking in at the beef-and-ham shop just now, along with a hungry sweep, as was very much calculated to make a man jolly, sir I see you a-buying that. Martin reddened as he pointed to the table, and said, somewhat hastily: 'Well! What then?
I asked. "What's the use of that?" "None o' your imporence, Master Tommy; jest you look at me!" "All right, father," said I. "I am a-looking at you now!" "Very good, Tom one dog one bone! Well, what d'ye see?"
I'm terrible feared as little Maurice has quite strayed away and got lost, and here am I, a-standing talking to you when there ain't one moment to lose. Ef you won't leave me, you must come along wid me, fur I'm a-looking fur little Maurice."
Dick took a good look, and said, "I'm blest if I don't, though; it is the doctor that cut my throat." This strange statement drew forth quite a shout of ejaculations. "Oh, better breathe through a slit than not at all," said Dick. "Saved my life with that cut, he did, didn't he, Pheeb?" "That he did, Dick. Dear heart, I hardly know whether I am in my senses or not, seeing him a-looking so blank.
"I saw him, I tell you, Master Charles, as plain as I see you now; and as true as I am standing by your side the sarpint jumped right over the Amphitrite when Gil Saul and I was a-looking up, and carried away our maintopmast and everything belonging to it!" "Well, it must have been wonderful, Jim," said I.
Then he gets sick only a bit of fever, but it laid him out bad for a time: and he couldn't shave, and he couldn't bath, and that hurt him wuss'n the fever. We was here, then; jist in this same camp. And when he got well enough to talk again I took him his cawfee one morning, and sees him a-looking at himself in a little glass: and he looked fair frightened!
