McTrump," said Edith, slyly, "do you know you almost scared old Hannibal out of his wits by the wonders you wrought last night or this morning in that same garden you inquire about so innocently. How can you work so fast and hard?" "The woonders I wrought! Indeed I've not been near the garden sin ye told me not to coom. Ye could hardly expect otherwise of a Scotchman."
His eyes lighted on me and their wandering ceased. "Coom here, lad," he whispered very faintly, so very faintly that his lips seemed to give out no sound at all. "Coom here!" I heard, though, and went to his side, listening earnestly, for I could not speak. He did not notice this, however, making up, with his slowly ebbing senses, what he wished himself to say.
"I'm thinking there'll be no necessity of me swallowing any salts for some time to coom, be the towken that I've enough to last me me life-time." "We are all right now!" said the stranger. "I can swim, but I was just about used up when your dog took me in tow. May I inquire who my friends are?"
Suddenly the door was opened from the inside, and Bachelor Billy stood there, shading his eyes with his hand and peering out into the darkness. "Ralph," he said, "is that yo' a-stannin' there i' the rain? Coom in, lad; coom in wi' ye! Why!" he exclaimed, as the boy entered the room, "ye're a' drippin' wet!" "Yes, Uncle Billy, it's a-rainin' pirty hard; I believe I I believe I did git wet."
Eh, but we get sich a sight of strangers here now, the yan fairly drives the tother out of a body's mind. 'Doos foak coom for t' summer? asked David, lifting his eyebrows a little, and looking round on the bleak and straggling village. 'Noa, they coom to see the church.
"Would you like to see him standing?" he asked, giving the mass a prod with the handle of his walking-stick, which to my cockney mind seemed rather cruel, but which, taken from an agricultural point of view, was no doubt the correct thing. "He can stand. Coom up, Brownie!" I humbly entreated that the ill-used mass might be allowed to sprawl in undisturbed misery. "Thorley!" exclaimed Mr.
In the darkness they could see nothing; only, standing still and holding their breaths, they could hear the faint sound, ever growing fainter, of some creature splashing in a hasty gallop over the wet moors. "Yon's him! Yon's no fox, I'll tak' oath. And a main big un, too, hark to him!" cried Jim. Then to Gyp, who had rushed off in hot pursuit: "Coom back, chunk-'ead.
"A graidely lot, yore Grace," she answered; "but not so much i' Stone Hover as i' Temple Barholm. He's coom!" Then the duke vaguely recalled rumors he had heard sometime before his indisposition. "The new Mr. Temple Barholm? He's an American, isn't he? The lost heir who had to be sought for high and low principally low, I understand."
"Nay, ma'am, coom your ways in an' sit ye down. There's no hurry. I'm nobbut puttin' away our Teddy's little clothes." Not another word did she say in allusion to her sorrow, and no tears fell on the little worn garments. Poor little garments, so pathetically bringing to mind the wee lost personality!
"Well, Biddy, Miss Annie wants some one to wait on her in the place of Jessie, who has gone. She has taken a fancy to try your girl. When can she come?" "Coom! Why, this very hour, an' ye like. A blessin' on yer swate, pale face!" said Biddy, looking pityingly towards Annie. "She must be gentler here," said Mrs. Lee; "she must govern her temper.
