They slept soundly after their wanderings.
If I'd told the truth, I'd 've said the baby wuz a sickly, yaller-lookin' little thing, for so it wuz; looked haff-starved, too. Couldn't help comparin' it with that big, fat baby in its mother's arms over the way. "Bill," says I, "here's a ten-dollar note for the baby, 'nd God bless you!" "Thank ye, Mr.
It only tells what be in some other unfort'nate person's mind. It don't affect what's in my own," "Hullo!" hailed a voice behind them. "Comparin' love-letters, you young men?" The speaker was Nicky-Nan, come to survey the desolation of his 'taty-patch. Young Obed hastily crammed his envelope into his pocket. But Seth Minards turned about with a frank smile. "You may see mine, Mr Nanjivell.
I could only see the withered old hand held tremblingly out for the smoking cup of tea, which the boy handed to her with a benignant smile, and I could hear the soft voice say "Thank you, Robin dear boy so like!" "I tell you what it is, granny," returned Slidder, with a frown, "I'll give you up an' 'and you over to the p'leece if you go on comparin' me to other people in that way.
"If it comes to that, I might do a bit of comparin' too." "I should be the last to prevent you, old boy. But I'm sure you've often done it already and always made up your mind afterwards that she wasn't quite up to the marrying mark." "Who wasn't?" "The other horrid creature." He could not repress a chuckle. "You're deuced conceited," he said. "You've made me so." "I how?"
All round and under it is a arch, where I spoze the poor condemned prisoners wuz kep' and the wild beasts that wuz to fight with 'em and kill 'em for the pleasure of the populace. Miss Meechim got dretful worked up seein' it, and she and Arvilly had words, comparin' old times and new, and the different wild beasts they encourage and let loose on the public.
And then she went on to draw up metafors, and haul in illustrations, comparin' married life and single jest as likely metafors as I ever see, and as good illustrations as wuz ever brung up, only they every one of 'em had this fault when she got to drawin' 'em, she drawed 'em too fur. And though she brought the school-house down, she didn't convince me.

"Why, Aunt Keziah!" she exclaimed those who knew Keziah Coffin best usually called her aunt, though real nephews and nieces she had none "why, Aunt Keziah! What do you mean by comparing the the person you just mentioned with a MINISTER!" "Oh, I wasn't comparin' 'em; I'll leave that for you Come-Outers to do. Drat this carpet!
"Now I know it's you, sure enough. He took that up when he wa'n't hardly out o' pinafores," she said to Lydia. "What?" Lydia managed, through her anger at him. "Comparin' everything with his first wife. Where'd he get it, mother?"
Peedick would lead 'em out to dinner the very second they got into the house, and Miss Peedick didn't want her husband to know that she had borrowed vittles, for he would be sure to let the cat out of the bag, right at the table, by speakin' about 'em and comparin' 'em with hern.
