"'That's whatever. says Billy. looking the infant over an' beginnin' to feel as proud of it as 'Doby himse'f, 'that's whatever. An' I'm yere to remark, any gent who can up an' without no talk or boastin' have such a papoose as that, is licensed to plume himse'f tharon, an' put on dog over it, the same without restraint.
Whether he was boastin' or not I can't tell, an' it do seem strange that he should boast of it to the young parson leastwise, unless it was done to spite him. But now mark me, Pat Stiver, I'll bring that old sinner to his marrow-bones before long, and make him disgorge too, if he hain't spent it all. I give you leave to make an Irish stew o' my carcase if I don't. Ay, ay, sir!"
How folks will get to tellin' things, and finally tell 'em so much, that finally they will get to believin' of 'em themselves boastin' of bein' rich, etc., or bad. Now I have seen folks boast over that, act real haughty because they had been bad and got over it. I've seen temperance lecturers and religious exhorters boast sights and sights over how bad they had been.
"I didn't know you were heah when I came," she explained, with a shade of uneasiness in her voice and embarrassment in her eyes. "You heard everything, didn't you," he said regretfully. "I might have spared you this." "You needn't of," she replied. "Pappy came in boastin' of what Tusk was goin' to do for him, so I slipped out to listen.
That goes near about as far agin in a general way, as a crackin' and a boastin' does. Never TELL folks you can go a head on 'em, but DO it; it spares a great deal of talk, and helps them to save their breath to cool their broth.
"Guess I'm goin' on." "Where?" "I'll write you when I know; maybe I'll even send you what I owe you, but I don't feel like boastin' at the moment. Nig!" "You can't walk." "Did you never happen to notice that one-legged fella pluggin' about Dawson?" He had gone down on his hands and knees to see if Nig was asleep under the camp-bed. The Colonel got up, went to the door, and let down the flap.
That's the story she's allus had, and boastin, of course, dreadful, about John's trustin them, and Isaac doin all his business for him. The minister reflected. 'And you say the legacy wasn't much? 'Well, sir, I know some people over at Bedford where her aunt lived as left it her, and they were sure it wasn't a great deal; but you never know. 'And Isaac never said? 'Bless yer, no sir!
Curius, hain't it? How folks will get to tellin' things, and finally tell 'em so much, that finally they will get to believin' of 'em themselves boastin' of bein' rich, etc., or bad. Now I have seen folks boast over that, act real haughty because they had been bad and got over it. I've seen temperance lecturers and religious exhorters boast sights and sights over how bad they had been.
"Wah!" exclaimed Bounding Bull, with a nod of assent as he directed a look of scorn at his adversary. "Tush, tush, boy," said Little Tim to his son reprovingly, in an undertone. "It ill becomes a man with white blood in his veins, an' who calls hisself a Christian, to go boastin' like an or'nary savage. I thowt I had thrashed that out of 'ee when ye was a small boy."
"I expect you're going to tell me now that Sanson T. Wrangler got foolin' around in some low down gamblin' saloon and lost that pile of dollars over a game of poker. What?" "No," continued Isa, "that wasn't the way of it; though I allow he was in Brierley's saloon Saturday night, boastin' to his friends about how he'd rounded up the cash, and had locked it away in his iron safe back of the store.
