His first words indicated that he had been trying to pump them, but without success. "Say, soldier, where might you be a-travellin' to?" he asked as Bob came up.

"They were on foot and carried carbines. Seen anything of such a party?"
We will jes' leave him hyar in the road, an' the folks that find what's down thar in the valley will find him too. I wonder somebody ain't passed a'ready. An' sure we-uns oughter be a-travellin'." But Holvey revolted against this offhand assumption of confidence. He made a supplemental effort on his own account. "Why don't ye tell yer name, Bubby?" he asked cajolingly.
Jest think on't! there Josiah Allen and I wuz a-travellin' way off to places too fur to be reached only by our strainin' fancy places that we never expected or drempt that we could see with our mortal eyes only in a gography.
And she wuz a-travellin' along peacible, with her father's old mair, and a-leanin' back in the buggy a readin' a article her father had sent over by her to Deacon Widrig, a witherin' article about female Deaconesses, and the stern necessity of settin' 'em apart and sanctifyen' 'em to this one work deacon work and how they mustn't marry, or tackle any other hard jobs whatsumever, or break off into any other enterprize, only jest plain deacon work.

No, her heart always has been, and is now, fur away, a-travellin' through unknown regions, unknown, and yet more real to her than Jonesville or Zoar, a-follerin' the one man in the world who is a reality to her. Submit wuz engaged to a young Methodist minister by the name of Samuel Danker. I remember him well.
As we went in we see old Miss Burpy from 'way back of Loontown. She wuz never on the cars before, or see 'em, but she wuz sent for by her oldest boy who lives in the city. She was settin' in a big rocken'-chair rocken voyolently, and as I went past her she says: "Have we got to New York yet?" "Why," sez I, "we haint started." She sez, "I thought I wuz in the convenience now a-travellin'."
But I frowned on the idee, and I hurried him off by the model of the Eiffel Tower into Persia. There it wuz agin, my pardner and I a-travellin' in Persia the very same Persia that our old Olney's gography had told us about years and years ago a-visitin' it our own selves.
