Solomon answered. "So was I. My soul were a-sweatin' all night." The morning was chilly. They gathered birch bark and dry pine and soon had a fire going. Solomon stole over to the thicket where the woman and child were lying and returned in a moment. "They're sound asleep," he said in a low tone. "We'll let 'em alone."
No doubt when he sat down on the rock he felt warm, an' bein' a narvish sort o' chap, I make no question but he was a-sweatin' pretty hard, so, without thinkin', he up with his arm, quite nat'ral like, an' drawed it across where his brow would have bin if the helmet hadn't been on.
"Just as the clock struck, the devil come along, an' he said to the blacksmith, standin' there a-sweatin' like a colt, 'Well, I see you got her all up hunkey dorey. 'Yes, said the blacksmith, 'an' now I want my pay. 'Let's see about that, said the devil; 'did you do that job because you wanted to, or because you didn't want to? The blacksmith didn't know what to say, so he hemmed and hawed, an' finally he says, 'Maybe I done it because I wanted to, an' maybe I done it because I didn't want to. 'All right, said the devil; 'if you done it because you wanted to, I don't owe you nothin', an' if you done it because you didn't want to, there ain't nothin' I can pay you. An' he sunk in the ground, with his thumb to his nose an' his fingers a-wigglin' at the blacksmith."
