I tuk him by the scruff av his neck, my heart was hung on a hair-thrigger those days, you will onderstand an' 'Out wid ut, sez I, 'or I'll lave no bone av you unbreakable, 'Speak to Dempsey, sez he howlin'. 'Dempsey which? sez I, 'ye unwashed limb av Satan. 'Av the Bob-tailed Dhragoons, sez he, 'He's seen her home from her aunt's house in the civil lines four times this fortnight, 'Child! sez I, dhroppin' him, 'your tongue's stronger than your body.
"Can't be done," said Old Man Hatton. "Another three months and I'll show you." "Hope you do, son. Hope you do." But in another three months Chug Scaritt was one of a million boys destined to take off a pink-striped shirt, a nobby belted suit, and a long-visored cap to don a rather bob-tailed brown outfit.
Now when he rode up to the house, he had a pig's foot to his mouth and was eating. He got down off the bob-tailed, big-headed, spavined and spotted horse, and came in. "I heard there was a young fellow at your house and I want him to take service with me," said he to the Spae-Woman. "If the bargain is a good one I'll take service with you," said Gilly. "All right, my lad," said the Churl.
"Once, while I was watching them, this cry was given, and all flew as usual except one bob-tailed baby, who stood on a big stone in the middle of the field. He was perhaps so comfortable that he did not want to go, or it may be he was afraid, and thought mamma would not notice him. But mothers' eyes are sharp, and she did see him.
The liveryman gave us two bob-tailed nags, a big one for dad and a small one for me, but they didn't have any army saddle for dad, and he had to ride on one of these little English saddles, such as jockeys ride races on, and dad is so big where he sits on a saddle that you couldn't see the saddle, and I guess they gave dad a hurdle jumper, because when we got right amongst the riders, men and women, his horse began to act up, and some one yelled, "Tally-ho," and that is something about fox hunting, not a coach, and the horse jumped a fence and dad rolled off over the bowsprit and went into a ditch of dirty water.
"An' I'm not the only wan that doesn't kape to barricks," sez he. I tuk him by the scruff av his neck, my heart was hung on a hair- thrigger those days, you will onderstand an' "Out wid ut," sez I, "or I'll lave no bone av you unbreakable." "Speak to Dempsey," sez he howlin'. "Dempsey which?" sez I, "ye unwashed limb av Satan." "Av the Bob-tailed Dhragoons," sez he.
Never did the tail of the dog work harder than does this little bob-tailed thing called silver, that we find moving around among our legs, trying to trip us up every time the political procession makes a move. There is distress because there is not money enough in circulation, say these peddlers of silver.
I do not care for leaves as a covering, unless something coarse underlies them, for in wet seasons they form a cold and discouraging poultice to everything but the bob-tailed meadow mice, who love to bed and burrow under them. Such tea roses as it is possible to winter in the north should be treated in the same way, but there is something else to be suggested about their culture in another place.
It is well for this little man's peace of mind that the dispersion was an accomplished fact before he made his appearance. The Jersey cattle would have been winked at, and the silo regarded as an object of curiosity; but the eye-glasses and the bob-tailed coat would not have been tolerated. But if Pinetucky had its peculiarities, it also had its advantages.
Before night the parties were all in, one detachment bearing the body of the bob-tailed catamount swung over a pole, like the mighty cluster of grapes from Eshcol, and another conveying with wise precaution that monstrous snapping-turtle which those of our friends who wish to see will find among the specimens marked Chelydra, Serpentine in the great collection at Cantabridge.
