He put me in mind of a squirrel I once shot in our wood location. The little critter got a hickory nut in his mouth; well, he found it too hard to crack, and too big to swaller, and for the life and soul of him, he could'nt spit it out agin. If he did'nt look like a proper fool, you may depend.
But while he looked, she fell off, giving her broadside to it foot by foot, and drifting back on the breakers around Cam Du and the Varses. The rocks lie so thick thereabout that 'twas a toss up which she struck first; at any rate, my father could'nt tell at the time, for just then the flare died down and went out.
Roundjacket and himself were discussing the propriety of his marrying Redbud? He is no longer the open, frank, and fearless Verty of old days he has become a dissembler, for he is in love. "I don't know oh, sir I could'nt Mr. Roundjacket " The Squire laughs. "There's some secret here," he says; "out with it, Verty, or it will choke you. Come, Rushton, you are an adept cross-examine the witness."
I hardly think they are important at all; but I suppose every young lady learns them. It is necessary," added the little maiden, primly. "Ah, indeed? well, I suppose it is," Verty replied, thoughtfully; "a real lady could'nt get along without knowing the minuet, and all that. But I'm mighty sorry you had to go. I've lost my teacher by your going."
Thinks I to myself, old lady, its a pity you could'nt be changed eend for eend then, as some folks do their stockings; it would improve the look of your dial plate amazinly then, that's a fact. Now there was human natur, Squire, said the Clockmaker, there was pride even in that hovel.
Could'nt you invent something else that would be novel and profitable?" "There's where my new conception was coming in. That's the point I was considering when you interrupted me with Mattie's love affair," Chapman replied, looking more serious than ever. "It struck me that we might do something profitable by getting up a company for the discovery of Kidd's treasure.
I saw you fall, but could'nt see them, on account o' the hill; but as I knowed they'd be for showing themselves soon, I got Betsey into a comfortable position, and waited as patiently as I could, until the ugly face of that rascal yonder showed clar; when I told her to speak to him, which she did in rale backwood's dialect, and he died a answering her.
"It might be very bad writing not interesting such as ought to be burned, you know," said Verty. "Hum!" replied Roundjacket, "there's something in that." "If I was to write but I could'nt I don't think I would read it to my wife if I had a wife," added Verty. And he sighed. "A wife! you!" cried Mr. Roundjacket. "Is there anything wrong in my wishing to marry?"
"They were whispering almost, sir, and if I had'nt been a hunter I could'nt have heard. They were saying that there would be knives as well as shillalies," said Verty. "Hum! indeed! This must be looked to! Will we! The wretches. We are in a fine way when the public peace is to be sacrificed to the whim of some outlandish wretches." "Anan?" said Verty. "Sir?" asked Mr. Rushton.
Quarles was a stout woman, who could'nt abide to sleep up-stairs, for fear of fire; moreover, that she was a nervous woman, who took extraordinary precautions for her safety, in case of thieves. Thus, unaccountably enough, the murderer, if there was any, was as likely to have come from the outside, as from the in.
