"'I's feelin' ez well ez a' ole nigger could feel w'at had los' his only son, en his main 'pen'ence in 'is ole age. "'But den my son wuz a bad boy, sezee, 'en I could n' 'spec' nuffin e'se. I tried ter l'arn him de arrer er his ways en make him go ter chu'ch en pra'r-meetin'; but it wa'n't no use.
I use to take 'im to the 'Eath of a summer Sunday, an' 'e use to stand on them little ridges below the Spaniards Road, with 'is eyes shut against the sun, never botherin' to take no aim. I can see 'im now, a-pulling of the string of 'is bow it 'ad an 'igh note, like the beginnin' of a bit o' music an' then awf 'e'd go like a rebbit, to see where the arrer fell.
Queerest thing is, though, that a poison so deadly doesn't spoil meat for eating." "Huh?" exclaimed Tim. "Mean to say them cannibals can kill us by scratchin' us with a poison arrer and then stummick us afterwards?" "Exactly. You'd taste just as sweet as ever, Tim maybe more so. Cheer up! They say it doesn't hurt much to die that way; you're paralyzed so quick you just sort of fade out."
"Though some I wouldn't trust now." "Would ye trust me, Bill, like I do you, fer sake o' the old times, when friends was friends?" "Shore I would, no matter how come, Jim. My hand's stiddy as a rock, even though my shootin' shoulder's a leetle stiff from that Crow arrer." Each man held out his firing arm, steady as a bar. "I kin still see the nail heads on the door, yan. Kin ye, Bill?" "Plain!
And sez he, as he took his change back, "Do you know what you're doin'? You're drivin' Samantha and me away from this place, and Blandina." And sez he, with an air of shootin' his sharpest arrer, "We shall go to Miss Huff's to-morry." And so we did. Blandina and I wanted to go there in the first place, so we felt well about it.
But slowly he raised his hands as if holding a bow; twitched his right thumb and forefinger in the motion of loosing a shaft; let the hands sink. His gaze calmly lifted from theirs and dwelt on the farthest wall. Not another word did he speak. "Begorry! there's yer answer!" triumphed Tim. "He says, 'Fight! And I bet he can sling a wicked bow and arrer, at that.
The room where the daggers and pistils and other weppins is kept is interestin. Among this collection of choice cutlery I notist the bow and arrer which those hot-heded old chaps used to conduct battles with.
Malicious little boys who had not been allowed to buy tickets to my theatre used to cry out after me in the street, "'Who killed Cock Robin? 'I, said the sparrer, 'With my bow and arrer, I killed Cock Robin!" The sarcasm of this verse was more than I could stand. And it made Pepper Whitcomb pretty mad to be called Cock Robin, I can tell you!
"And she a pretty woman, too," said the milliner; "as straight as an arrer, and slim, and with all that hair, scarcely turned at all." Miss Carew, with all her haste to assume years, remained a pretty woman, softly slim, with an abundance of dark hair, showing little gray. Sometimes Jane reflected, uneasily, that it ought at her time of life to be entirely gray.
I had finger to trigger and had took up the slack, and a hair's weight more pull would have spattered yer head all around. And besides givin' me heart failure ye let that guy git away. We'll never find him " "You saw him?" McKay cut in. "I seen somethin' beyond ye couldn't make out what 'twas, but from the way ye was goin' over the top I knowed it must be a man.
