Do not be chagrined, and excellent lady, if I should demand interest in advance for my loan; but if possibly I can get my errands ready, I shall stop the passing coach, and load you with freight and commissions; not compliments and congratulations, merely. Do not misconceive me but messages relative to merest chores. And so with thanks, Yours, R. W. E.
"Nary one that I know of that's fastened to me all the time." "How's that?" "When I'm living with old man Jones, I'm Scrub Jones, and when I'm with Mr. Foster, I'm Scrub Foster, and that way. I don't belong to nobody, an' I just live around doing chores for my keep.
Of course he had the evenings to himself, after he had done the "chores" at the barn, brought in the wood and piled it high in the box, ready to be heaped upon the great open fire. John used to say that he supposed nobody would do his "chores" if he did not get home till midnight; and he was never contradicted.
A farmer doing his chores will walk up and down a rickety ladder a dozen times. He will carry water for years instead of putting in a few lengths of pipe. His whole idea, when there is extra work to do, is to hire extra men. He thinks of putting money into improvements as an expense. Farm products at their lowest prices are dearer than they ought to be.
"Oh, he went to Captain Skinner's the first of March, chores round, and goes to school up there. Captain is strict, and won't let Bob come to town, except Sundays; but he don't mind it much, for he likes horses, has nice grub, and the Hill fellows are good chaps for him to be with. So he's all right, if he only behaves."
Fur 's that was concerned, all his boys used to ketch it putty reg'lar till they got too big. One on 'em up an' licked him one night, an' lit out next day. I s'pose the old man's disposition was sp'iled by what some feller said farmin' was, 'workin' all day, an' doin' chores all night, an' larrupin' me an' all the rest on us was about all the enjoyment he got.
I sent Cornelius Twombly to do some chores." "I'll drive you down," said Evelyn, "having a telegram to send." "And I'll stay and help Lucy unpack," I said. "Lord, people, I'm glad you're not going!" The moment we were alone Lucy said: "You did it." "Did what?" "Don't beat about the bush! Don't pretend that you are not a blessed angel in disguise!" Her face was very grave and lovely.
He busied himself with those astrogational chores which began with orienting oneself to galactic directions after leaving a planet which rotates at its own individual speed. Then one computes the overdrive course to another planet, from the respective coördinates of the world one is leaving and the one one aims for.
'Twas a comfort to cook for him, he was that hearty. I'll have it ready in the jerk of a lamb's tail." Moses came down the stairs and went out "to do his chores," casting another keen glance at the stranger ascending them with Miss Maitland to the sitting-room chamber.
A boy had been shot down that morning while doing chores on a homestead a little way across the river. He was the son of one of the men on the death-list, and these men, the father among them, had come to enlist Macdonald's aid in running down the slayer. The boy's mother had seen the assassin hastening away among the scant bushes on the slope above the house.
