The clammy, half-plucked fowl in her hand seemed to share her expression of irreparable injury. She allowed her daughter to climb over her without moving, and when Parker appeared she wiped one long yellow hand on her apron, and gave it to him in a nerveless grasp. "I hope you'll excuse me fer not gettin' up," she drawled; "I guess you c'n get a-past me. Idy, come an' set a rocker fer Mr. Lowe."
"They want to go, and you've done mighty well in the mill. If it wasn't for my health, I reckon I might go in and try to learn to weave, myself. But there I came a-past with Mandy t'other evenin' when she was out, and the noise of that there factory is enough for me from the outside I never could stand to be in it. Looks like such a racket would drive me plumb crazy."
No, sir, I don't like it. Uh course," he went on, letting himself loose-jointedly to the ground, "they couldn't get nothing on Tom not unless they framed something. But I wouldn't put it a-past 'em to do it. No, ma'am, I wouldn't." "Your bread's burning, Riley. I can smell it. Don't you never think they'll frame on Tom. They may try it but that's as far as they'll get.
He was as weak as a cat; yet if ye'll b'lieve me, he tried to get a-past me and get out. I just carried him like a baby, and threw him on the pallet. Three days after, he tried it again: that time reached the wall. Lord help you! he fought like a tiger, giv' some terrible blows. Fightin' for life, you see; for he can't live long, shut up in the stone crib down yonder. Got a death-cough now.
"All the same," sullenly asserted Mr. Getz, "I wouldn't put it a-past you after the way you passed your opinion to me this after!" "I must be going," returned Miss Margaret with dignity. Mrs. Getz came forward from the stove with a look and manner of apology for her husband's rudeness to the visitor. "What's your hurry? Can't you stay and eat along? We're not anyways tired of you." "Thank you.
I mind the fight off Brest in the French wars Oh, that was a fight, surely! when the Regent and the French Carack were burnt side by side, being fast grappled, you see, because of Sir Thomas Knivet; and Captain Will gave him warning as he ran a-past us, saying, says he " "But," said Amyas, seeing that the old man was wandering away, "what do you mind about America?" "America? I should think so!
"Oh, you are heading for the house where Kevin Hooban is lying sick?" "Yes." "The priest is going to read over him?" "Yes." "And maybe they are expecting him?" "Yes." "We heard it said he is very low, a strangeness coming over him." "Is the house far?" "No, not too far when you are once a-past the demesne wall, with the ivy upon it. Keep on the straight road.

"Just a few nails and a little wrappin' of twine'll make it all right," he informed his niece. "I stopped a-past and borried the nails and the hammer from Jeff Dawes; I mighty nigh pounded my thumb off knockin' in nails with a rock an' a sad-iron last week." "Looks like nobody ain't got no sense," returned Laurella Consadine ungratefully.
And I wouldn't put it a blame bit a-past him, neither," he added, slightly out of drawing for the time. "You are well named, Lafitte," I smiled. "You are a good business man. But the day is long." It was, indeed, long, and I put in part of it wandering about with Partial, hunting for squirrels, which he took much delight in chasing up trees.
