She frankly said to him that herself and husband were abolitionists, but that they knew the value of peace, and would do what could be done, in good conscience, to make peace and keep it. Bro. Burnett evidently went away from Lawrence with a good opinion of this family of Yankee abolitionists, and Bro. H. was immediately accepted as a missionary of the General Missionary Society.
"Any Saturday or Sunday that you happen to be in town." "Are you going to live in town?" "For a while. I’ve taken a house until the beginning of July. I expect some friends over, and I want to entertain them." Jack felt the sky above become refulgent. He was in the habit of spending every Saturday night in the city—he and Burnett together. "May I come as often as I like?" he asked.
As it is in the blood of most Englishmen from the "West Country" to seek adventure abroad, it is little wonder that the visit of an uncle from Australia strengthened a desire I felt to seek my fortune in that country. This uncle H. C. Corfield was the owner of some pastoral country in the Burnett district, and described in glowing terms life in the Australian bush.
The opposing players furiously stormed at the umpire for giving him his base, but Burns' trick went through. Burnett bunted skilfully, sending Burns to second. Cole hit a fly to center. Then Huling singled between short and third. It became necessary for the umpire to delay the game while he put the madly leaping boys back off the coaching lines.
He did not fail, as he urged forward his steed, to cast a look over the plain where, to his intense satisfaction, he saw a body of cavalry galloping out from behind a wood, with an officer at their head, whom he at once recognised as Burnett. On they came, fleet as the wind, towards the foe. Shouting to his men that reinforcements were at hand, Reginald dashed forward.
"I fishes an' hunts an' things like that." "A squatter eh?" "Yep, I air a squatter all right," Jake admitted, "but I air a decent man, an' allers been decent. I don't do nothin' I hadn't ought to." "Who's sayin' you do?" snapped Burnett. "Now, I want to ask you a few questions. I'm from Auburn Prison, and if you lie to me, I'll put you where the dogs won't bite you.... Do you get me?"
My daughter's affections are not likely to be placed where her parents do not approve. Her mother is her only confidante. I can tell you, Mr. Burnett, and when you are over this delusion you will thank me for being so plain with you, my daughter would laugh at the idea of such a proposal. But I will not have her annoyed by impecunious aspirants."
Tessibel gurgled and giggled, and giggled and gurgled, as if she hadn't a care in the world although she felt a paralyzing pain in her heart for the dwarf beneath her. Then she threw a mischievous glance into the man's face and offered, "While ye air searchin' the shanty, I'll sing to ye, huh?" "Now, can ye sing?" interrogated Burnett, smilingly.
"Your experience and knowledge of the people will smooth away many difficulties which beset my path, and I gladly accept your kind offer. I feel somewhat selfish, as I know you sacrifice your own convenience for my sake." "Don't talk about that, Reginald," said Captain Burnett. "If you have nothing better to do, come to my quarters and inspect my sporting gear.
Women sure are a lot of bother I'm plumb sorry for the poor devils that get inveigled into marrying one." "Why, Mr. Burnett! Do you always talk like that? Because if you do, I don't wonder " "No," Kent interrupted, looking down at her and smiling grimly, "as it happens, I don't. I'm real nice, generally speaking. Say! this is going to be a good deal of trouble, do you know?
