He sucked at his pipe, found that it had gone out, and slipped it into his waistcoat pocket. "If neither Sweeny nor the gentleman is making any complaint," he said, "it would suit you to keep your mouth shut." "I'm not blaming you," said the sergeant "Sure, anybody'd do the same if they got the chance."
Tira, sitting at her side of the hearth, heard, through drowsy ears, the incomprehensible vision of the tree of life with its twelve manner of fruits, and when Israel shut the Bible with an air of virtuous finality, she came awake and sat guiltily upright. "You've been asleep," he accused her frowningly. "Anybody'd think you could keep yourself awake over the Word o' God."
"She's makin' it over again right now," she announced, rising from her chair and moving toward the pantry. "You can always tell when she is 'cause she pulls down all her front curtains an' won't come to the door when folks knock. The shades was down when Abbie an' me drove by there last week an' to make sure Abbie got out an' tapped to' see if anybody'd come to let us in, but nobody did.
"You're clean enough," Grandmother observed, tartly. "Anybody'd think you had a beau waitin' for you somewheres." She flushed to her temples, but did not speak. Her face was still red when she went out, wearing a brown straw hat three Summers old. "The paper says," Grandmother continued, "that a blush is becomin' to some women, but Rosemary ain't one that looks well with a red face.
And when all's said and done, you'll never be anything anything but a fisherman!" "What else was pa?" stoutly. "Anybody'd think you was ashamed of him!"

"Anybody'd believe anything from Madame Beattie," Lydia said positively. "She told them lots of stories about you, lovely stories. Sometimes she'd tell them to me afterward. She made you into a hero." "Moses," said Jeff, "leading them out of bondage." "Yes. Come, we can't stand here. If Miss Amabel sees us she'll think we're crazy."
Ain't it well for me I wa'n't born a hunderd year ago? Shouldn't I ha' sizzled well? An' now, all there is to burn me is God A'mighty's sunshine!" Elvin laughed lightly. "I guess I don't need any fortune," he said. "Mine looks pretty fair now. I don't feel as if anybody'd better meddle with it." But he had not withdrawn his arm, and his gaze still dwelt on hers.
Oh, what an old image! Talk about a noise! Anybody'd think it was you who was getting married!" She had recovered her own nerve. She could not see the future; but her head was cool, and she stared over her mother's shoulder at the sunlight bleaching the outer grime of the neighbouring roofs.
"I should think anybody'd be ashamed," said he, "to let things go to wrack an' ruin this way." The paths were thick with weeds. Faithful sweet-william and phlox had evidently struggled for years and barely held their own against misfortune, and bouncing-bet was thrifty. But others of the loved in old-time gardens had starved and died.
I can't bear to see her broken to it!" she cried with such intensity that the man at her side caught his breath with a sort of sob. "Anybody'd think to hear you talk, Susan, that marryin' was a thing to be feared, an' that I'd been mean t' you." What had she done?
