"Have some one come in once a week to clean up." "It needs something more than a cleaner round here. What we want is a cook. I cal'late we'd best ship a general housekeeper." "A housekeeper!" exclaimed Mr. McGowan, suddenly breaking off a wide yawn. The skipper blew a cloud of smoke and watched it thin out into the air above his head. "And you have just declared that you didn't intend to propose.
Captain Elisha pulled thoughtfully at his beard. "Humph!" he grunted. "Humph! then I cal'late maybe " He took a step toward the door, stopped, turned back, and said, with calm decision, "I guess I'd better stay. You won't mind me, Caroline you and Stephen. You mustn't. As I said, I ain't comp'ny.
An' I told her, I said: 'Jane, if you don't look out you'll never wear this coat all next winter nohow. An' she up an' laughed, just like she didn't mind a thing like that. An' she paid me ten whole centses, she did. But I love her. Jane's so good to everybody, to every single body. Ain't she, grandpa?" "Aye, aye, deary. I cal'late she done it a purpose. She makes her money easy, Jane does.
I'm a widower man, so there'll be nobody to coax it out of me. I guess you're right, cal'late you be. What folks don't know they can't lie about, can they? and that's good for your business meanin' nothin' disreverent. I'll promise, Mr. Ellery; I'll swear to it. Now come on back to the shanty. The doctor wants you."
I'd have bet large that whatever conscience Adoniram was born with had dried up and blown away years ago. But no; he'd resurrected a remnant. "Mr. Small," stammered Mr. Rogers, "I'm sorry you feel bad about not buying them dishes. I I thought I'd ought to tell you that is to say, I Well, if you want another set, I cal'late I can get it for you that is, if you won't tell nobody."
"Thought over that bill of fare, Zuby?" he shouted, after a time. More thumps and threats; tears as well. Daniel began to feel pity instead of triumph. "Hadn't you better, Labe," he began. Mr. Ginn waved him to silence. "How about supper, Zuby?" he called. "Oh, all right, all right. I don't know as I'm as hungry as I was, anyway. Appetite's kind of passin' off, I cal'late.
Where, may I ask, can one find a more high-handed tyranny of spurned authority than that? It's too funny for words!" "I cal'late you'd do some disowning, too, if he'd go traipsing round asking everybody's pardon just because he steps on a few toes now and again." "I disown him?" she asked, not able to check the rush of color to her cheeks. "Pray tell! Why "
"'Then I'll look for you, says he, and off he went. I ain't seen him since. He come down along of Winnie S. and I had one of Chris Badger's teams. Now WHAT do you cal'late it all means?" "I don't know. I don't know. But I can't think Emily Hush! she's comin'." Emily entered the room and Captain Obed began philosophically concerning the storm, which he declared was "liable to be a hooter."
But I don't cal'late Mrs. Ruth Mrs. Armstrong, I mean would want to leave Charlie to home alone on Thanksgivin' Day. If she took Babbie, you know, there wouldn't be anybody left to keep him company." Miss Hunniwell twirled the fox tail in an opposite direction. "Oh, of course," she said, with elaborate carelessness, "we should invite Mrs. Armstrong's brother if we invited her.
His grandfather was the only one who refused to enthuse.
