"Which Abby now issues forth of the O.K. Restauraw an' j'ines the pinfeather party when he emerges from the Red Light. "'This sky pilot, says Dan Boggs, approachin' the happy couple, 'sends word by me that he's over in the New York store.
When lo, and behold! jest as she wuz a-thinkin' these thoughts, she see this wild and skairful machine approachin', and Deacon Henzy a-standin' up on top of it a-drivin'. He looked wild and excited, bein' very tickled to think that he had threshed more with his machine, by twenty bushels, than Deacon Petengill had with his.
These thoughts come into my mind onbid as I looked on the heavy pall of dark clouds that hung low over our heads some like the dark drapery hangin' over a bier. But anon and bime bye these dark meditations died away, for what wuz cloud or cold, or white icy shores? It wuz home that waited for us; Jonesville and my dear ones dwelt on that shore approachin' us so fast.
Josiah took us to the train about an hour and a half too early. But I wus glad we wus on time, because it would have worked Josiah up dretfully if we hadn't been. For he had spent the most of the latter part of the night in gettin' up and walkin' out to the clock to see if it wus approachin' train time: the train left at a quarter to ten.
But," sez I, "my brain shall not totter under none of your beer and whiskey statisticks." And as I spoke I put my hand to my fore-top, and I looked quite bad, and truly I felt so. He glanced at me, and see that I wuz not in a situation to be trifled with. And as we wuz jest approachin' the station where we wuz to be left, he ceased his remarks, and held his horse in.
"However, 'Doby don't have entire charge of the round-up, an' he has to figger with Billy right along. "'Doby, shouts Billy, as he notes his pard approachin', while he balances himse'f in his moccasins a heap difficult, ''Doby, your infant Willyum is a eediot. Which if I was the parent of a fool papoose like Willyum, I'd shorely drop him down a shaft a whole lot an' fill up the shaft.
Well, so we went on for two or three days. I'd got my second sock pretty well along in that time, just think! half a week knitting half a sock! and was setting the heel, when in came Aunt Mimy. "I a'n't afeard on it," says she; "don't you be skeert. I jest stepped in ter see ef the young man wuz approachin' his eend." "No," said I, "he isn't, any more than you are, Aunt Mimy."
She wuz attended by a good-lookin' lady, who seemed to be looking out for her, and I hearn a bystander say: "That's the Queen of Holland." When I wuz told that the Queen of Holland wuz approachin' I sez, "You don't say so! you don't say that that is Willieminy?" "Yes," sez the bystander standin' by.
He laughed with great glee, and flicked one tightly clad leg with the whip he carried. "Wait a bit, Snac," his mother besought him. "Let it blow over a bit afore approachin' him." "Wait for the Beacon Hill to blow over!" said Snac, in answer. "I've no more expectations as the one 'll blow over than th' other. He'll do what he says he'll do. That's the pattern he's made in.
But with trainin', Zenas Henry now does his plowin', plantin' an' harvestin' in somethin' approachin' alarm-clock fashion. Of course, he backslides if he ain't constantly held to it; but knowin' his past it's a miracle what Abbie's made of him. She ain't never wholly reformed his temper, though. There's plenty of cayenne in that still.
