She shook her head when Miss Lucretia said it, for it had to do with an incident in the 29th chapter of Genesis. Dodd was complaining to his wife of shooting pains, and "callated" he would stay at home that day. "Shootin' fiddlesticks!" said Mrs. Dodd. "Get along down to the store and face the music, Levi Dodd. You'd have had shootin' pains if you'd a went to the meetin'." "I might stop by at Mr.
Worthington, a great pleasure, to see you back," he said, coming forward. "I callated " But the great man sat in his chair, and made no attempt to return the greeting. "Mr. Dodd, I thought you were my friend," he said. Mr. Dodd went all to pieces at this reception. "So I be, Mr. Worthington so I be," he cried. "That's why I'm here now.
Heard so much talkin, callated suthin must a happened, an turned out ter see what it wuz. Fetched any news, hev ye Reub? Spit it aout. Guess it muss be pooty good, or the cap'n would'n be lookin so darned pleased." "The news I fetched is that the army in Stockbridge is going to attack you to-morrow at dawn." Abner's jaw fell.
"So I callated," he cried, still holding Wetherell's hand in a mild, but persuasive grip. "So I callated. Guess I done you an injustice, Will." "How's that?" "You're a leetle mite smarter than I thought you was. So long. Got a leetle business now you understand a leetle business." Was it possible, indeed, for the simple-minded to come to the capital and not become involved in cabals?
"It ain't so bad as it might be with sech folks as her and you araound," admitted Mr. Meader. "I'd almost agree to get run over again. She was askin' about you, and that's a fact, and I didn't slander you, neither. But I never callated to comprehend wimmen-folks." "Now, Mr. Meader," said Victoria, reprovingly, but there were little creases about her eyes, "don't be a fraud."
Meader, apologetically, "that was stupid of me wahn't it? But I callated he'd know. She's the daughter of the railrud president the 'one that was askin' about you." There was an instant's pause, and the colour stole into Victoria's cheeks. Then she glanced at Austen and bit her lip-and laughed. Her laughter was contagious.
Wen I giv Squire Edwards that air leetle morgidge on my farm, money wuz plenty, an I callated tew pay it up easy; an naow thar ain't no money, an I can't git none, if I died for't. It's jess zif I 'greed tew sell a load o' ice in January, an a thaw come an thar wan't no ice leff. Property's wuth's much 'z ever I callate, an't orter be good fer debts instead o' money, 'cordin to a far valiation."
Guess he never did, quite. He wanted to know what lawyer was to have my case. Wahn't none of his affair, and I callated if you'd wanted him to know just yet, you'd have toad him." Austen laid his hand on the farmer's, as he rose to go. "Zeb," he said, "I never expect to have a more exemplary client." Mr. Mender shot a glance at him.
But his tears did not choke his utterance. "Great Tecumseh!" said Cousin Ephraim, "so you've went and done it, Cynthy. Siege got a little mite too hot. I callated she'd capitulate in the end, but she held out uncommon long." "That she did," exclaimed Bob, feelingly. "I I was tellin' Bob I hain't got nothin' against him," continued Ephraim.
'Leastways, the debt was nine pound, and the rest was lawyers', justices' and sheriffs' fees. I callate they'll find them figgers cut into my heart, when I'm dead." And then he pointed to the sums in charcoal, covering the walls of the cell. "I callated the interest down to how much a minute. I allers liked cipherin, ye know, Perez, and I have a great deal of time here.
