"If you mean Hick Holt's Clearin', it's a leetle better'n six miles from here. He squats on Mud Crik." "There's a squatter upon it, then?" "On Holt's Clearin'? Wal, I shed rayther say there air a squatter on't, an' no mistake." "His name is Holt is it not?" "That same individooal." "Do you think I could procure a guide in Swampville some one who could show me the way to Holt's Clearing?"
"Do I think so? Possible you might. D'ye see that ar case in the coon-cap?" The speaker looked, rather than pointed, to the young fellow of the buckskin shirt; who, outside the verandah, was now standing by the side of a very sorry-looking steed. I replied in the affirmative. "Wal, I reckon he kin show you the way to Holt's Clearin'. He's another o' them Mud Crik squatters.
We must manage to git it to the edge of the clearin', anyhow, or the wolves might make free with our venison, Bill. Yer sled is a strong un, and it'll bear the loadin', ef ye go keerful."
And that is so even if the whole heart is set to be honest above all and how many hearts are so set? "You see," said Eliza, "if people knew I had lived on a very poor clearin' and done the work, they'd despise me perhaps." "It is no disgrace to any one to have worked hard, and it certainly cannot be a disadvantage in this country." "It was rough." "You are not very rough, Eliza.
"You look like a girdled pine in a clearin', Hurry Harry, that is rocking in a gale," said Deerslayer, checking his unseasonable mirth, more from delicacy to the others than from any respect to the liberated captive. "I'm glad, howsever, to see that you haven't had your hair dressed by any of the Iroquois barbers, in your late visit to their camp."
"Ez far ez that clearin'?" "Yes." "There's a hoss tethered out in that clearin'. I kin shift him to this end." "You're white all through," said the man gravely. Peggy ran off to the clearing. The horse belonged to Sam Bedell, but he had given Peggy permission to ride it whenever she wished. This was equivalent, in Peggy's mind, to a permission to PLACE him where she wished.
When the case was made known to John, he at once said, "Why didn't they apply to the Clearin' House, I wonder?" "Ah, why not?" said Sam. "Nurse doesn't know about that place, I think," suggested Gertie. "Very likely not; but if she'd only gone an' seen any one as know'd anything about the line, she'd have found it out.
When they're through layin', they jest hop off an' run away acacklin', as they should." And she shook her head heavily, as one almost despairing of enlightenment. "No, ef ye ain't got no more idees to suggest than that, I might as well be goin'." "Oh, I was jest kinder clearin' out the underbrush, so's to git a square good look at the situation," explained Barron.
After I'd got the envelope stowed away and tied the key around my neck with a string, I goes back to the office. Sweetie and Miss Allen was there, with their hammers goin'. They'd found their blue tickets and their week's pay and was just clearin' out. "I'd been planning to make a change for the last two weeks," says Miss Allen. "I was looking for something like this." "Me too," says Sweetie.
What's the use of thinkin' a man can't change? Wa'n't there ever anything in that old idee of a change of heart? What do you s'pose made Jeff let up on that feller that Jombateeste see him have down, that day, in my Clearin'? What Jeff would natch'ly done would b'en to shake the life out of him; but he didn't; he let him up, and he let him go.
