"Cap'n John, can't you and the youngster lay your heads side and side and make out what-all this here hoss-captain mought be up to? It do look like he had some sort o' hatchet to grind, a-sending that Afrikin back to raise a hue and cry, and then a-letting his Injuns leave a trail like this here that any tow-head boy from the settlemints could follow at a canter."
Gibson, the doctor has been very kind to me all through this illness, I wish my daughter in Combermere would send me some autumn chickens I'd pass 'em on to the doctor, that I would; but she's been a-killing of 'em all, and a-sending of them to me, and the last she sent she wrote me word was the last. 'I wonder if they'll give a party for him! suggested Miss Phoebe.
"My darling Why not permit me to call you that when it is the simple and sincere truth?" An astonished little voice in Sheila's brain here seemed to counter-question mechanically "Why not, indeed?" "I cannot think of anything but you and how I love you. These little notes I am going to keep a-sending you are messengers of love.
What are you doing here?" She was a slight, plain girl, with a fairly intelligent face whose expression was doubtful. Sometimes it showed a willingness to please, oftener it was sullen, now and then merely thoughtful. Just at this moment, as she looked up at the young organist, it was crafty and greedy. "I'm taking a note," she said. "Miss Crawford's always a-sending me with notes or something."
We was too poor to have a doctor come and live here and they was a doctor over to Springfield took up my husband's county practice, so I jest naturally had to do the healing myself, only a-sending for him in the worst cases. They was a heap of teethers that summer and it kept me busy looking after 'em.
The fry had hissed vigorously whilst this conversation went on; the results were brown and unctuous. 'Now, if it ain't too bad! cried the old woman, losing self-control. 'That 'Arry gets later every Sunday, and he knows very well as I have to wait for the beer till he comes. I'll fetch it, said Emma, rising. 'You indeed! I'd like to see Dick if he caught me a-sending you to the public-house.
"Why, who's been a-brightening up the gen'ral so Christmas-like?" he exclaimed. "We did, father! Leastwise it was Polly's present," said Molly. "And who may be a-sending presents to Polly now?" asked David, with a twinkle in his eye that had seen better days but none kindlier. "It wasn't young Cuffy over at the baker's, nor Jake Tripple, now, was it?"
Now, two more years were sped since that Ruth had left us, and sometimes would we hear through friends o' th' little lad and 's mother and father, and always was Ruth a-sending of pretty messages to Keren her love, and her thanks, and how happy she was, and th' boy so like his father and more than I remember.
"They is a-sending of him along this week, and if the leg don't go it is a hundred pound to a brass farthing on the old horse." "How many times will they gallop him?" Sarah asked.
"If you talk to me about metal, young man, I'll drop into you. You've been a-sending all manner of messages to me about a barrel of gunpowder and that sort of thing, and it's my mind that you're a little out of your own. Now I ain't going to have anything to do with gunpowder, nor yet with the river. It's a nasty place is the river; and when I want a wash I shan't go there."
