"I can't give you 'commodation, because there's just the baby and myself, James being with Ashby. You kin rest here till evening. Maybe a wagon'll come along and give you a lift, so's you can get there in time " "Get where, ma'am?" "Why, wherever the battle's going to be!" "Yaas, yaas," said Steve.
A barrel had been taken from the van and placed on a small table; glasses of beer were being served to a thirsty crowd; and all around were little canvas shelters, whence men shouted, "'Commodation, 'commodation." The sun had risen high, and what clouds remained floated away like filaments of white cotton.
'Get a day with the harriers, too, if you like, continued the shooter, increasing the temptation. 'Better still! thought Sponge. 'I've only bachelor 'commodation to offer you; but p'raps you'll not mind roughing it a bit? observed Romford. 'Oh, faith, not I! replied Sponge, thinking of the luxuries of Puffington's bachelor habitation. 'What sort of stables have you? asked our friend.
We are not far now, sir, from my little bower of repose which is the name I give my humble abode small, but snug, sir. You'll see another gintleman there, sir, before you. He is waitin' for bail these three or four days, sir can't pay as he ought for the 'commodation, but he's a friend o' mine, I may almost say, sir a litherary gintleman them litherary gintlemen is always in defficulties mostly.
Where has he gone?" "Nobody ain't knowing exactly just gone! I expect he'll turn up again when his stomick done clutch him. Dat chile never done us-all no 'commodation job, but he was too good to live up to that cabin in de Holler. If I knowed whar he done hide himself, I clar I'd fotch him some victuals even if he was sharp as a sarpint's tooth in a bargain."
Even the 'commodation men left their canvas shelters and pressed forward inquiring which had won.
Lordee, Lordee," he gazed at them admiringly, "you sho' is genoowine corn-fed, sterlin' silver, all-woolan'-a-yard-wide, pure-leaf, Green-River Lollapaloosas. Does yo' folks know 'bout yer? Lordee! What I axin' sech a fool question fer? 'Course dey don't. Come on, I gwine to take y' all off 'n dese cars right here at dis Woodstock, an' we kin ketch de 'commodation back home."
I says to myself often, says I Sally Taber, jes' so long as you can make a friend or do a 'commodation job, you is useful to de community when yo' can't why den!" And with that Sally gave a "pouf!" as if blowing away a feather.
How come they let you march?" "Why, I didn't," said Steve, "want to be left behind. I wanted to be in the fight with the rest of the boys. So the captain said, says he, 'Well, you can try it, for we need all the good fighters we've got, but if you find you're too weak to go on, fall out! Maybe some good Seraphim will give you 'commodation "
"The boy was'n't got up for my 'commodation," said Jim, when the proposition was placed before him. "I seen the thing comin' for a week, an' I've brung my mind to't. We hain't got no right to keep 'im up here, if he can do better.
