Then all at once there was a cessation of the hubbub that the new speaker might be heard. 'Look at this man! he cried, pointing at Mutimer, who had drawn as far aside as the cart would let him. 'He's been a-tellin' you what he did when somebody died an' left him a fortune. There's just one thing he's forgot, an' shall I tell you what that is?
'What's one's meat's another's pison. You couldn't fetch up Mis' Pennel's children, and she couldn't fetch up your'n, so let's say no more 'bout it." "I'm always a-tellin' my wife that ar," said Captain Kittridge; "she's always wantin' to make everybody over after her pattern." "Cap'n Kittridge, I don't think you need to speak," resumed his wife.
"Er the student," broke in Tess. "My brother! Tess, my brother Frederick! He must not know. It would kill him and me. You, Tess, you swear that you won't tell him?" "I ain't a-tellin' him nothin'. I swears it, ye hear? I swears I won't tell the student nothin' about the little kid." "Of course you won't," answered Teola weakly. "I trust you, Tessibel."
"She's waitin' fer you," he said at last. "She's up yonder in the garden, waitin'. She loves you, Mist' Steerin'. Don't you go fergit that, with y'all's pride an' all. She loves you." "What? What's that you are saying, Piney?" "She loves you. I know it, Mist' Steerin'. An' I'm a-tellin' ev' durn thing I know!" declared Piney vehemently, with a high-toned, stubborn self-justification in his voice.
"Never mind, Polly," Ben whispered; "Jasper's been a-tellin' me about it; his father liked it he did truly." "Oh!" said Polly, "I'm so glad!" "He had eyes," said Phronsie, going back to the charms of the "gingerbread boy." "I know it," said Jasper admiringly; "so he did." "Rather deep sunk, one of 'em was," muttered Ben.
"Say," said Eddie after a moment's silence, "if you get out o' here an' ever go back to the States promise me you'll look up maw and paw an' tell 'em I was comin' home to stay. Tell 'em I died decent, too, will you died like paw was always a-tellin' me my granddad died, fightin' Injuns 'round Fort Dodge somewheres." "Sure," said Billy; "I'll tell 'em. Gee!
'Why, look at his neck, said Sinfi, turning down my neckerchief; 'is that sunburn, or is it Romany brown, I should like to know? 'I assure you, said the speaker, still addressing her in the same grave, measured voice, 'that the Romanies have no idea what a little soap can do with the Romany brown. I know what you fine Gorgios do say, you're allus a-tellin' lies about us Romanies.
Poot soon when they git a little older 'n' they find out how you been afoolin' 'em about Santy Claus, they'll wonder if what you been a-tellin' 'em about the Good Man ain't off o' the same bolt o' goods, an' another one o' them cunningly devised fables. Think they'll come any blessin' on tellin' a lie? An' a-actin' it out? No, sir. No, sir. Ain't ary good thing to a lie, no way you kin fix it.
'Good God, woman, you are lying! you are lying! 'No, I ain't a-lyin'. She tookt to me the moment she clapped eyes on me; most people does, and them as don't ought, an' she got up an' put her arms round my neck, and she called me "Knocker." 'Called you what? 'Ain't I a-tellin' you? She called me "Knocker"; and that's the very name as she allus called me up to the day of 'er death, pore dear!
"Good evening, Mis' Pennel," said the Captain; "I's a-tellin' my good woman we must come down and see how you's a-getting along. It's raly a work of necessity and mercy proper for the Lord's day. Rather lonesome, now the Captain's gone, ain't ye? Took little Moses, too, I see. Wasn't at meetin' to-day, so I says, Mis' Kittridge, we'll just step down and chirk 'em up a little."
