Three thousand went out over the ice hittin' the high places, an' half ez many again went down to the caches, and the market's loosened some considerable. Jest what Welse figgered on, everybody speculated on a rise and held all the grub they could lay hand to. That helped scare the shorts, and away they stampeded fer Salt Water, the whole caboodle, a-takin' all the dogs with 'em.
"Did anybody ever see sech a boy, an' he that's had no pains spared 'n his bringin' up? Well, he's ten to-day, thank fortune, an' he'll soon be a-takin' care o' himself." Phronsie crept closer to Polly. "Take me home," she said. "I want my Mammy." "O dear me," thought Polly, "whatever shall I do! It will make dear Mr. and Mrs. Beebe feel so badly if I don't stop her.
"To find her father and mother," answered the Man-Who-Makes-Faces, stoutly. At that Jane shook her huge pompadour. "Father and mother!" she cried. "Indeed, you won't! Not while I'm a-takin' care of her." And reaching out, caught Gwendolyn by a slender wrist. The Man-Who-Makes-Faces seized the other.
Look at me and my fancy beau a-takin' a walk!" Putnam glanced at his companion, who colored nervously and looked away. "Saucy little giglets!" he laughed. "Did you hear what she said?" "Yes," almost inaudibly. "I hope it didn't annoy you?" "It was very rude," walking on. "Well, I rather like naughty school-girls: they are amusing creatures.
"They ain't hurtin' nothin'," she said, impatient of the interruption to her story. "I wisht you might 'a' seen that ole fool Mason a-lordin' it aroun', an' that little devil Nance a-takin' him off to the life. Everybody nearly died a-laughin' at her. But he says he's goin' to have her up in court, an' I ain't got a blessed thing to wear 'cept that ole hat of yours I trimmed up.
The giant smiled uneasily: "I'm keepin' out o' the sun an' a-takin' keer o' my health," he said, and his eyes dropped hungrily to the corn pone and fried fish, but the boy shook his head sturdily. "You can't git nothin' to eat from me, Babe Honeycutt." "Now, looky hyeh, Jason " "Not a durn bite," said the boy firmly, "even if you air my mammy's brother.
"You'll have to lose your arm, my good fellow," said the doctor, kindly, but in a business-like way, "the bone is badly shattered." "I was afear'd o' that ever since I got hit. I was just a-takin' aim when I missed my fire, I didn't know why, didn't feel nuthin', but I couldn't hold the gun.
I might've knew with all them clo'es bedaubled over though I can't, ez the doctor says, see how me a-takin' a pill is goin' to help matters but of co'se I wouldn't let on to him, an' he a bachelor." He stopped talking and felt his wrist. "Maybe my pulse is obstropulous, an' ought to be sedated down. Reckon I'll haf to kill that steer or sell him, one though I swo'e I wouldn't.
You took care of me down there to Sky Top. I want you to keep on a-takin' care of me, whether I'm here or not. Now, there's my house and yard, right at the head of the cañon, where they've got to come if they get in. That little old place, and my little old team, is about all I've got in the world.

When he wasn't no mo' 'n three year old we commenced a-takin' him round to church wherever they held meetin's, 'Piscopals, Methodists or Presbyterians, so's he could see an' hear for hisself. I ca'yed him to a baptizin' over to Chinquepin Crik, once-t, when he was three. I thought I'd let him see it done an' maybe it might make a good impression; but no, sir! The Baptists didn't suit him!
