Marty went out on the porch to hail him. "'I wish I was a bump A-settin' on a log, Baitin' m' hook with a flannel shirt For to ketch a frog! "And when I'd ketched m' frog, I'd rescue of m' bait An' what a mess of frog's hind laigs I wouldn't have ter ate!" "Come on in, Walky, and rest your voice."
"Troth, it's my belaif that there's no pass at all," said Larry, somewhat doggedly, as he shifted about uneasily in the saddle; "haven't we bin comin' up to places all day that we thought was the pass, but they wasn't; I don't think Mister Arryhairo knows it hisself, and this baist of a mule has blistered my hands an' a'most broke my arms with baitin' of it not to mintion other parts o' me body.
Now, ef dey should take a notion ter trouble Bre'er Nimbus, hit mout do him a heap of harm, kase he's got so much truck 'round him here ter lose. So we made it up dat I was ter go ter Bre'er Rufe Paterson's, ober in Hanson county an' see ef we couldn't find a place ter lib dar, so's not ter be baitin' de hawks on ter you, Cousin Nimbus."
Pathrick still wid the cross look on him p'intin' to the shamrock in his hand, as much as to say 'There is but the wan God in three divine Persons an' Him ye must obey. So then I took to baitin' me breast an' sayin' 'The will o' God be done! an' if ye'll believe me, Sisther, the next time I took heart to look at St. Pathrick there he was smilin' for all the world the moral o' poor Barney.
An', you poor miserable blind worm of a fool, you ain't got the sense to see it! Everybody knows it; the whole country's talkin' about it; how Temple's baitin' his trap with her an' she's baitin' her trap with herself an' " "Grandfather!" cried Steve, his own face flushing under the scathing torrent. "You don't know what you are saying!" "I know what he's saying."
"Leezur!" called the soft voice of a Basin matron from the door. "Leezur, have ye fished the bucket out o' the well?" "Jest baitin' my hook, mother," said my friend, his face breaking into the broadest human beam I ever saw. He rose, and we walked toward the well. Now first I noticed his gait; every step was a smiling protest against further advancement, which, however, was made not unwillingly.
The old woman rose chuckling from her churn and waddled across the floor to the cupboard, no bigger and broader than she. "Whar you baitin' 'em, honey?" she asked next. "Behind the barn!" She sat down, bread in hand, pulled him to her, and patted his back. That was the price he had always to pay for bread or butter or jam. Finally, she gave him the bread and let him go.
There was no more baitin' o' Mr. Clive that voyage. "'Bo'sun, says I, 'what did I tell you? I may be wrong, but that young Mr. Bob Clive'll be a handful for the factors in Fort St. George." While this narrative had been in progress, Desmond was walking with Bulger and his mates back towards the river. "How was it you happened to be hereabouts so early?" asked Desmond.
"I don't know what this is, if 'tisn't regular trawling," said Harvey sulkily. "My fingers are all cut to frazzles." "Pshaw! This is just one o' Dad's blame experiments. He don't trawl 'less there's mighty good reason fer it. Dad knows. Thet's why he's baitin' ez he is. We'll hev her saggin' full when we take her up er we won't see a fin."
Well, I needn't mind particulars, but, in short, he was murdered in Ballinasloe one night, when he was baitin' the whole town with a blackthorn stick he had; more by token, a piece of a scythe was stuck at the end of it, a nate weapon, and one he was mighty partial to; but those murdering thieves, the cattle-dealers, that never cared for diversion of any kind, fell on him and broke his skull.
