That's all he ever says, you might say. I never see nothin' like it, never, the way that hired man talks to him; you'd think he was the Queen o' Sheba. "An' he goes squintin' about here an' there, changin' this an' that, an' singin' away an' laughin' you'd think he'd have a fit. Seems's if he loved to putter about 'n' fool with things in a room, like women. I heard him say so myself.
Midmore took his friends across the flat fields with some idea of showing them Sidney as a type of 'the peasantry. They hit the minute when Sidney, hoarse with rage, was ordering bricklayer, mate, carts and all off his premises. The visitors disposed themselves to listen. 'You never give me no notice about changin' the pig, Sidney shouted.
He moved around there some. I couldn't tell what he was doin' because he didn't switch on the light, but he must 'a' been changin' to his easy coat an' his slippers. I know that because he came into the room just opposite the fire escape where I was sittin' on the rail. He threw on the lights, an' I saw him plain. It was Cunningham, the old crook who had beat me outa fifteen hundred dollars."
He won't be dressed in time, as sure as the world, if he stays here much longer," Aunt Betsy said a dozen times, until at last her patience was exhausted, and going boldly in where he was, she bade him start in at once, or he would not have time to put on his best coat and jacket, let alone Katy's changin' her clothes.
'Nay, says I, 'if th' door isn't wide enough for th' pair on us, we'll stop outside, for we'll none be parted. And th' preacher spoke up for Blast, as had a likin' for him from th' first I reckon that was why I come to like th' preacher and wouldn't hear o' changin' his name to Bless, as some o' them wanted. So th' pair on us became reg'lar chapel-members.
But I was glad when I heard the shootin' and the clappin' dee doon, and they let the next turn go on. I was weak I was nigh to faintin' as I made my way to my dressing room. I had no the strength to be changin' ma clothes, just at first, and I was still sittin' still, tryin' to pull mysel' together, when Tinsley came rushing in. He clapped his hand on my shoulder.
Hartington; "seems they hitched a kind of nigger minstrel show right on to it banjos and thingumajigs in front of the curtain while they was changin' scenes, and they hitched the second act right on to that. Nobody come out of the theatre at all. Funny notion, wahn't it?" Mr. Bixby's face took on a look of extreme cunning. He smiled broadly and poked Mr.
I raly never thought o' changin' my state. Once before, ye may ha' heerd, Mrs. Alty wanted me to wed her Thomas. I was again it, dreadful again it at first, but hoo persuaded me, so I very nigh gave in. But him an' me didn't agree so well at arter, and Betty didn't dee, so that settled it. Well, then, I said to mysel', 'It's all for th' best, an' I reckoned to bide as I were.
Putty soon I comes back and says to her, 'I axed a man, an' he tole me dey was changin' de guard. 'Did de res' seem quiet? 'Yes, missy, dey is sleepin' 'round under de trees. She seemed greatly 'lieved, an' says, 'You watch aroun' an' tell me ef dere's any news. I stole out again an' crep' up 'hind some bushes, an' den I sho' dat de Linkum men was a-slippin' away toward de creek-road, but de guards kep' walkin' 'roun de pris'ners, jes' de same.
An' how I was to see an' make you keep your feet dry by changin' your hose for you when you were asleep, for you'd never change them yourself till all your toes an' heels came through 'em. Ah! daddy, it will be a bad job for mother if they kill you and me!" "But what can I do, Olly?" said the mariner, in a somewhat husky voice, when this pathetic picture was presented to his view.
