"Uncle Bart might somehow guess where I am going," she thought, "but even if he did he would never tell any one." "Where's Waitstill bound this afternoon, I wonder?" drawled Cephas, rising to his feet and looking after the departing team. "That reminds me, I'd better run up to Baxter's and see if any-thing's wanted before I open the store."
Paul expressly declares that he saw Christ after he was risen from the dead. His declaring that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve, could have been only from the report of others; but it agrees pretty well with what has been recorded by the evangelists.
I suppose if we did keep a child all night, we'd have to have some sort of a woman within hail in case of a sudden blow." Captain Cephas sniffed. "What's the good of talkin'?" said he. "There ain't no child, and there ain't no woman that you could hire to sit all night on my front step or on your front step, a-waitin' to be piped on deck in case of croup." "No," said Captain Eli.
Cephas and Peter, which signify a rock, or stone, were names given him of Christ, expressive of that firmness of character, for which he was remarkable.
But Cephas said he wuz jest dispatchin' a messenger for us when we arrove, for, he said, "in a time of trouble, then wuz the time, if ever, that a man wanted his near relations clost to him." And he said "we had took a load offen him by appearin' jest as we did, for there would have been some delay in gettin' us there, if the messenger had been dispatched."
Deacon Baxter had met in Jane Tillman a foeman more than worthy of his steel. She was just as crafty as he, and in generalship as much superior to him as Napoleon Bonaparte to Cephas Cole.
However, I was agreeably impressed with Uncle Cephas and Aunt 'Manthy, for they welcomed me very cordially and turned me over to my little cousins, Mary and Henry, and bade us three make merry to the best of our ability.
"Pies can't be made that way." "I know they can," said Cephas. "They can't, Cephas. There ain't no use tryin'. It would jest be a waste of the flour." "Why can't they, I'd like to know?" "Folks don't ever make pies without lard, Cephas." "Why don't they?" "Why, they wouldn't be nothin' more than You couldn't eat them nohow if they was made so, Cephas. I dunno how the sorrel pies would work.
"Cephas thinks a good deal an' looks into things. I kind of wish he'd waited till the garden had got started, though, for there ain't much we can eat now but potatoes an' turnips an' dandelion greens."
He said "they wuz too little to realize it now, but in later and maturer years it would be a comfort to 'em to know they had took part in such a funeral as that wuz goin' to be, and wuz dressed in black." Cephas said "it wouldn't take much crape for the children's dresses, they wuz so little, only the baby's; that would have to be long."
