I can't understand it; Miss Molly, to my eyes, is much the most taking! 'Mr. Russell is our landlord, responded Mrs. Giles; 'he's a proper sort o' gentleman, and he won't hurt the child by a-paintin' of her. He lives all alone since his little girl died, and maybe she'll cheer him up; he's very downhearted, folks say.
If he ain't paintin' that barn, like a perfect old idiot, in the night." Uncle Ethan, working desperately, did not hear her feet pattering down the path, and was startled by her shrill voice. "Well, Ethan Ripley, whaddy y' think you're doin' now?" He made two or three slapping passes with the brush and then snapped out, "I'm a-paintin' this barn-whaddy ye s'pose? II ye had eyes y' wouldn't ask."
Wa'n't there a feller that pulled hair outer the cat to paint Injuns with? Yes, I thought they was; I allus thought they could paint theirselves good enough; but that story an' some others she read an' read when she was a little gal, an' she was allus a-paintin' an' makin' things with clay.

"I reckon he told ye he was a-paintin' Dusk's picter," "Mis'" Harney said to her boarders a week later. "Mr. Lennox?" returned Rebecca; "yes, he told us." "I thort so," nodding benignly.
This lunch infused new energy into him, and in a short time "DODD'S FAMILY BITTERS, Best in the Market," disfigured the sweet-smelling pine boards. Ethan was eating his self-obtained supper of bread and milk when his wife came home. "Who's been a-paintin' on that barn?" she demanded, her beadlike eyes flashing, her withered little face set in an ominous frown. "Ethan Ripley, what you been doin'?"

If ye had eyes y' wouldn't ask." "Well, you come right straight to bed. What d'you mean by actin' so?" "You go back into the house an' let me be. I know what I'm a-doin'. You've pestered me about this sign jest about enough."

He run afeoul o' a couple o' old sheep o' mine up on the headlan's somewheres, an' spent a 'tarnal three months a-paintin' of 'em deown onto some canvarss. I told 'im, says I, 'Thar'! says I, 'I'm glad to see them sheep put somewheres 't they'll stay, says I. 'It'll be the first time in existence 't they hain't broke fence, says I. 'I'm r'a'ly obleeged to ye.
