Look at the Seer, now. Fwhat could a man like him an engineer, mind ye fwhat could the Seer do widout the men wid money to back him?"
Heard ye ever the like, to rin awa' frae his new-made wife afore the blessin's been weel spoke; an' a' for the whimsie of that daft English lassie that made siccan a piece of work wi' her cantrips." "I am afraid she is right now," said the Colonel, "and my brother must not be left any longer."
'Blessin's on the man that invented it, says I, 'and put folks in the notion of havin' their lawns kept neat, 'cause they could do it cheap. And there's what Andy and Jim has made a-drivin' the cows, and Barney and Tommie a-takin' care of the geese. Wennott's the town for them as can work. And bad luck to lazy bones anyway. It's thankful I am I've got none of 'em in my family."
So, thinks I, Tammy sall big a lichthoose o' pates upo' da Heogue, and Tammy sall be the licht-keeper, and des be a bonnie lowe when the winds blaw.

He's a true man, is Gough, every inch of him, and men and women that's bin used chiefly to cursin' in time past have heaped more blessin's on that man's head than would sink you, Crux, if put by mistake on your head right through the lowest end o' the bottomless pit."
Well, she's been a blessin' to us, there's no doubt about that." "Indeed she has," concurred Zoeth. But Isaiah had the final word. "Huh!" he declared, "she's more'n one blessin', she's a whole shower. That's what set me to singin' about 'em." He departed for the kitchen once more, the falsetto rising triumphant: "There shall be showers of blessin's, Send 'em upon us, oh Lord!"
Why," he cried with lofty contempt as he saw from Paul's face that the coin was not producible, "y'ain't got no suffering! Garn away, and don't try to tempt a pore cabby as has his livin' to make.

"East Harniss is blessed with a great man, Bailey, and, like consider'ble many blessin's he ain't entirely unmixed." Obed and Simeon looked puzzled, but Captain Stitt bounced in his chair like a good-natured rubber ball. "Ho! ho!" he chuckled, "you don't surprise me, Sol. We had a great man over to South Orham three years ago and he begun by blessin's and ended with with t'other thing. Ho! ho!"
