Ma air been worryin' fearin' Myry weren't comf'table." Tess bobbed her curly head. "I'll tell 'er in a minute," she assured him; "but, 'Satisfied, I were a goin' to ask ye somethin'." Longman nodded. "An' I were goin' to ask you somethin' too, brat," he said. "How air the singin' goin' in church?" Tessibel sparkled like the morning dew. "Oh, it air goin' fine, 'Satisfied. I love it more'n more.
The ugly portraits and the stiff old engravings on the wall retired into a becoming dusk. The old-fashioned room became more homelike. "Now won't you sit down?" repeated Captain Cy. "Take that rocker; it's the most comf'table one aboard so Bos'n says, anyhow." Miss Phoebe took the rocker, under protest. Her host remained standing. "It's been a nice afternoon," he said.
I did SO! But the only good reasons I could scare up for makin' you stay to home was because home was safe and comf'table and where you was goin' wan't. And that kind of reasonin' might do fust-rate for a passel of clams out on the flats, but it wouldn't be much credit to decent, self-respectin' humans.
Robert, my next move would have been to get away from the spot as quick as my feet would let me; but so long as he'd assigned me a waiting part that's what it had to be. With Marie's help I finds the garden out at the back of the house and makes myself comf'table on a rustic seat.
"Ye mustn't go in there," she warned me. Delightful suspicions came out of the warning and their smiles. "We're goin' to be more comf'table ayes," said Aunt Deel as I resumed my chair.
Little while ago, as we thought, there was young Master Carey dying as fast as he could, and us just waiting to go to the bottom. Now here's that there dear lad asleep comf'table and getting better, and you and me with the pick o' the berths and the saloon all to ourselves, getting ready to have a reg'lar good, square meal. Aren't got so werry much to grumble at, have we?"
Well, after I had reasoned with him severe that-a-way a while, he says, says he, thess ez sweet an' mild, says he, "Daddy, nex' time y'all gits christened, I'll come down an' be christened right like a good boy." Th' ain't a sweeter child in'ardly 'n what Sonny is, nowheres, git him to feel right comf'table, and I know it, an' that's why I have patience with his little out'ard ways.
Say, it had sittin' behind the brass rail in the office beat to a froth, and I was enjoyin' it, lazy and comf'table, with my feet up on the bench and my head back; when all at once there's a big spasm of applause, the doors openin' on the back veranda are swung open, everybody starts chatterin' together, there's a swish and a rustle and a clatter of high heels; and the next thing I knew the whole blamed garden was full of 'em.
The clerk was inclined to be rather curt and perfunctory at first, but when he learned that the captain was not anxious concerning the price of accommodations, but merely wanted a "comf'table berth somewheres on the saloon deck," and appeared to have plenty of money, he grew polite. Captain Cy was shown to his room, where he left his valise. Then he went down to dinner.
"Find out by seein' the cow if he hez gone, an' by not seein' no cow if he hain't. I'm comf'table either way it turns out. One o' them writin' fellers that was up here summerin' said, 'They also serve who'd ruther stan' 'n' wait' 'd be a good motto for me, 'n' he's about right when I've ben hayin'. Look down there at the shiners, ain't they cool? Gorry! I wish I was a fish!"
