This to Herbert, who had of course tumbled out of bed again at Glory's first rapturous exclamation. "No, I won't!" cried the boy, rebelliously; "I'll stay as long as I like. And I'll tell my ma how you was a-wantin' to go away and be the Pembertons' girl. Won't she lam you when she hears that?"
The warm, light kitchen remained untenanted for perhaps twenty minutes, when Jovial, with his Dinah on his arm and a lantern in his hand, entered, Jovial grumbling: "Law-a-mity knows, I don't see what she should be a-wantin' to come here for! partic'lar arter de treatment she 'ceived from ole mis'tess las' night! tain't sich a par'dise nohow for nobody much less for she!
For who is it else can see how he's so full of brag he's loike to boorst and a-wantin' to do big things till he can't dust good nor wash the plates clean? Dust on the father's chair, down on the rockers where you thought it wouldn't show, and egg on the plates, and them piled so slick wan on top of the other and lookin' as innocent as if they felt thimsilves quite clean. Ah, Jim! Jim!"
"If I keeps Ezy away from Tess, will ye ?" "Ye air a-wantin' me to do somethin' for ye, Myry?" Ben answered, coming toward her eagerly. "Yep." "What?" "If ye'll kiss the brat when Mammy and Satisfied ain't a-lookin' " "Scoot home, I says. Scoot home," shot from Ben's lips.
"'Bout the 'Queen, sir?" said Sal, in a low, hoarse voice, fixing her wild eyes on Calton. "If I'd only known as you was a-wantin' me I'd 'ave come afore." "Where were you?" asked Calton, in a pitying tone. "Noo South Wales," answered the girl with a shiver. "The cove as I went with t' Sydney left me yes, left me to die like a dog in the gutter."
Roy shook his head, and looked carefully round the hole they were about to quit. "Don't know, lass; it seems to me as if somethin' was a-wantin'. Did ye pack your own bundle very tight?" "Yes; I think I did it tighter than usual, but I'm not very sure." "Hum that's it, no doubt we've packed the sled tighter, and eaten it down. Well, let's off now."
"Why, Davie," she chided, brightly, "ain't I always been a-wantin' to see the city streets with the hurryin' people, 'n' tall houses, 'n' churches with towers on 'em? They ain't many folks on th' Ridge'll hev sech a lettin'-out as mine." "If I only had 'nough saved to go too," he mourned. She answered him simply: "An' who'd I hev to write to me, with you goin' 'long?
He was angry with the poor deaf servant-of-all-work, who entered the room, after one thumping knock at the door, and made, in muffled tones, the barbarous announcement, "Here's somebody a-wantin' to see yer." "Who the devil is Somebody?" Amelius shouted. "Somebody is a citizen of the United States," answered Rufus, quietly entering the room.
Rollston is below, and asked if you was gone. I thowt as likely she was a-wantin' to see you again, if you don't mind, though she didn't really ask for you. Will you be pleased to come down?" "Yes indeed!" cried Hope. "Where did I put that umbrella? Oh, I remember! It's tied to the steamer trunk. We may as well take our luggage all down, as we go so soon."
"No an' so she picked up all the bright, shiny stones what was no good at all, 'til the fairy showed her how the real jewel she was a-wantin' was an old, ugly, dirt-colored thing what didn't look like any jewel, no more 'n nothin'." "Oh, I see!" said Helen again. And Bobby thought that she looked at them as though she were thinking very hard. "Yer forgot something Mag," said the boy, suddenly.
