The way it begun wuz and the way Josiah Allen and me come to have any connectin with the story wuz as follers: Some time ago, and previus, we had a widder come to stay with us a spell, she that wuz Tamer Shelmadine, Miss Trueman Pool that now is. Her husband died several years ago, and left her not over and above well off. And so she goes round a-visitin', and has went ever sense his death.
I confine myself to the company apartments, and them that's allotted to me! Havin' no family, I take nobody with me a-visitin', keep good hours, and give as little trouble as possible; and as for goin' to the servant-gall's room, under pretence of wanting a candle, I'd scorn such an action. Now, as there is lots of good things in this vessel, rat like, I intend to have a good dinner.
"The preacher comes from Treddleston, then, does she?" "Nay, sir, she comes out o' Stonyshire, pretty nigh thirty mile off. But she's a-visitin' hereabout at Mester Poyser's at the Hall Farm it's them barns an' big walnut-trees, right away to the left, sir. She's own niece to Poyser's wife, an' they'll be fine an' vexed at her for making a fool of herself i' that way.
Angy bent down and whispered in his ear: "I'd ruther dew it, tew, Father. Anythin' else would seem like goin' a-visitin'. But yew don't want ter go an' blame me," she added anxiously, "ef yew git all riled up an' sick abed ag'in." "Pshaw, Mother," he protested; "yew fergit I was adopted then; naow I be adoptin'. Thar's a big difference."
"I'm a respec'ble sailor man, an' I'll have you treat me decent or I'll know why." "Sailor!" said another. "That means to float on the water not IN it. What are you doing down here?" "I'm jes' a-visitin'," answered Cap'n Bill. "He is the guest of our queen," said Merla, "and so is this little girl. If you do not behave nicely to them, you will surely be sorry."
She went a-visitin' a good deal, and got pieces of the women's dresses where she visited for blocks. So it wuz quite a savin' bedquilt, and very good-lookin', considerin'. But to resoom and continue on.
"I didn't think it was very likely as you'd call in," said Pap, "seein', Missy, as you'd never called in afore." "My name's Sissy, not Missy. Well, I'll call again, Mr. Spooner, when you've no comp'ny." "Jee-roosalem! Call again will ye? An' s'pose I ain't to home hey? No, Missy wal, Sissy, then no, Sissy, you speak out an' tell me what brought you a-visitin' me?" She shuffled very uneasily.
He used them as masks to hide from prying eyes the things that he did not wish others to see. "Come a-visitin', Lawler?" asked Simmons as Lawler halted midway in the room and smiled faintly at the greeting he received. "Not exactly, Simmons." "Not exactly, eh? I reckon that means you've got some business. I'll be glad to help you out if I can."
"If I was sure she’d be gone for a week," she said, "I’d go a-visitin’ myself." "She’ll be gone a week," said Joshua; and the manner and matter of his speech were both those of a prophet. Then he went out and the door slammed to behind him. Aunt Mary’s arrival in the city just coincided with the arrival of that day’s five o’clock.
"It'll go no furder, Con, I'll swear," said the horse-thief, lifting his hand to Hite's shoulder, and affecting to see in his words an appeal for secrecy. "This," he added blandly, "is Mr. Persimmon Sneed, ez hev been a-visitin' me. Lemme make ye acquainted." He seemed to perceive nothing incongruous in the fact that Mr. Persimmon Sneed should be blindfolded.
