The light keeper, paying no need whatever, was shouting his wife's name. "Julia! Julia!" he cried. "Don't go! I want you! I need you!" Lulie called "Father" and hastened toward him. Zacheus whispered in Galusha's ear that he cal'lated 'twouldn't do no harm to turn on the glim and proceeded forthwith to turn up the wick of one of the lamps.
He fairly shoved me into the skiff, after a spell. "'Now, he says, so mad he could hardly speak, 'stop your lying and row, will you! "I was willing to row then. I cal'lated I'd done some missionary work by this time. Allie's guns was spiked, if I knew Barbara Saunders. I p'inted the skiff the way she'd ought to go and laid to the oars.
I cal'lated I could run a boardin'-house if I couldn't do anything else. But I'm just as sure as I am that I'm alive that if you hadn't come when you did I'd have run this one into the ground and myself into the poorhouse. I don't understand it." Emily smiled and put her arm about her cousin's waist. "Oh, no, you wouldn't, Auntie," she said. "It wasn't as bad as that.
Silas began going down to Latham's Folly of an evening, now and then, and setting up with Lucretia. But after a while he left off going and said he cal'lated he'd join the Quakers over to Seetawket. Playing Quaker meeting with just one girl to look at didn't suit, noway." And the old woman laughed placidly. "Tunis says he understands his aunt," ventured the girl.
I walked as far as the corner with Lute and Dorinda. Dorinda's eyes were red and her husband commented upon it. "I thought a weddin' was supposed to be a joyful sort of thing," he said, disgustedly. "It's usually cal'lated to be. Yet you and the rest of the women folks set and cried through the whole of it. What in time was there to cry about?"
Anyhow, she didn't eat nothin' after that. P'r'aps that was on account of her bein' out sailin' the day afore, though. "I said I cal'lated that was it, but all the same I was interested. And when, a day or so later, I see Grace and Willie talkin' together earnest, out back of the kitchen, I was more so.
That widow's wuth a lot of money her husband owned any quantity of cranberry bog property and all hands cal'lated Heman had his eye on it. Maybe he and the widow would have signed articles only for Miss Howes heavin' in sight." "Well, I suppose he's a good man; I never heard a word against him that way. And he's a risin' lawyer " "Yes or riz." "Yes.
I cal'lated I did n't want no more slidin' over there 'n Canady." After a little snicker, he added: "Hed all 't wus good fer me the las' time. 'S a leetle tew swift." "Gets rather scary when you see the bushes walk," I suggested. "Seen whut wus up 'fore ever they med a move," said D'ri. "Them air bushes did n't look jest es nat'ral es they'd orter.
When his grandfather's speech became sarcastic and nautical, the young man had usually found that there was trouble coming for somebody. "I I'm sorry Laban had to stay so late," he stammered. "I should have been glad to stay and help him, but he didn't ask me." "No-o. Well, it may possibly be that he cal'lated he was carryin' about all your help that the craft would stand, as 'twas.
The figure stopped, then it came forward again. "Oh, 't is you, ain't it?" with a tone of disappointment. "I cal'lated you'd stop all night, 't had got to be so late, an' I was just going over to the Knowles gals'; well, to kind o' ask how they be, an'" Mr. Peter Downs was evidently counting on his visit. "They never passed me the compliment," replied the wife.
