An' Bud is a rash man, Miss Laura, an' I'm feared dat he'll do w'at he say, an' ef dey kills him er he kills any er dem, it'll be all de same ter me I'll never see 'm no mo' in dis worl'. Ef I could borry de money, Miss Laura Mars' Colonel I'd wuk my fingers ter de bone 'tel I paid back de las' cent.
The 7th and 8th Royal Irish Fusiliers had been almost exterminated in their efforts to dislodge the enemy from Hill 37. They lost seventeen officers out of twenty-one, and 64 per cent of their men. One company of four officers and one hundred men, ordered to capture the concrete fort known as Borry Farm, at all cost, lost four officers and seventy men.
"That I can't deny, sir," responded the ranger. "An' jest for the sake o' bein' neighborly, I'm down here ter arsk a favor." "What is it?" grunted the old man, doubtfully. "Why, my partner an' me have got a job to do, an' we're wantin' ter borry one or both o' your boats," and he pointed down to the water where, at the end of a little dock, the big flatboat and a long canoe were both moored.
"'Larry she answered, 'don't be talking that way, bekase you make me sorrowful and unasy don't, acushla: God above me knows I forgive you it all. Don't stay long, says she 'and I'll borry a lock of meal from Biddy, till we get home our own meldhre, and I'll have a dish of stirabout ready to make for you when you come home. Sure, Larry, who'd forgive you, if I, your own wife, wouldn't?
I'll make out a list, and the boys can attend to that to-morrow. And I'll bake up a lot of stuff for lunches on the train, too. We're not going to squander money in the dining car." "Say, we'll just borry one of them dray teams from the Acme corral, by cripes, and haul our own stuff to the depot!" Big Medicine exclaimed with enthusiasm. "Save us four or five dollars right there!"
I reckon he thought I could borry what I'd need. Biney Meal lent me enough for the little un that died; but of course some o' the coats was buried with the child; and what was left, Sis' Elvira borried for her baby.
"It'll be night 'fore long; thar ain't much daylight left him to travel in." Alice caught her breath. "But you think he'll come, don't you, Mr. Holt?" "Yes, marm, I do," he answered, laying down his axe. "'T ain't hardly possible he won't; I cal'late they'll both git in 'fore dark. It won't do to borry trouble 'fore it comes.
If the turpentine don't work, I'll try French chalk, magneshy, and warm suds. If they fail, father shall run over to Strout's and borry some of the stuff Marthy got in Milltown to take the currant pie out of her weddin' dress." "I ain't got to understandin' this paintin' accident yet," said uncle Jerry jocosely, as he handed Rebecca the honey.
It was a suggestion from one of the crowd. "Why not borry the Argonaut pump? They ain't using it." "Go get it! Go get it!" This time it was the wail of the little jeweler. "Tell 'em Sam Herbenfelder sent you. They 'll let you have it." "Can't carry the thing on my shoulder." "I 'll get the Sampler's truck" a new volunteer had spoken "there won't be any kick about it."
All three boys giggled weakly, as if this were witty. "But old Bob 'lowed ez ennybody mought know him by his name. An' then he told me that old sayin': 'Stephen, Stephen, so deceivin', That old Satan can't believe him!" Here Ben Gryce broke in, begging the others to go home, and come to "borry" the hammer next night. Ab agreed to the latter proposition, but still sat on the log and talked.
