"Uncle Lot," said he, looking up, "this is the best flute that ever I saw." "I hate them tooting critturs," said Uncle Lot, snappishly. "I declare! I wonder how you can," said James, "for I do think they exceed " So saying, he put the flute to his mouth, and ran up and down a long flourish. "There! what do you think of that?" said he, looking in Uncle Lot's face with much delight.
Buffum, "that folks made a great fuss about his gettin' away from here and never bein' found. I thought 'twas a good riddance myself, but people seem to think that these crazy critturs are just as much consequence as any body, when they don't know a thing. He was always arter our dinner horn, and blowin', and thinkin' he was the Angel Gabriel.
Her good mistress taught her to read the Bible; and she's brought her Bible here to hell with her!" and the woman laughed a wild and doleful laugh, that rung, with a strange, supernatural sound, through the old ruined shed. Tom folded his hands; all was darkness and horror. "O Jesus! Lord Jesus! have you quite forgot us poor critturs?" burst forth, at last; "help, Lord, I perish!"
Then go to the park, and see what's a goin' on there; whether those pretty critturs, the rads are a holdin' a prime minister 'parsonally responsible, by shootin' at him; or whether there is a levee, or the Queen is ridin' out, or what not; take a look at the world, make a visit or two to kill time, when all at once it's dark.
He walked along in silence for a few minutes, and then said, "'Tis curus how folks kin sometimes change 'emselves, one way or the other. 'Tain't so with critturs; 't least so fur's I've obsarved. The way they're born, that way they'll stay. Now look at them oxen! When they was young steers, hardly more'n calves, I began to train them critturs.
Our meetin' to-morrow is for deliberation and liberty-principles generally. We may pass some indignation resolutions about aristocrats, for nobody can bear them critturs in this part of the country, I can tell you."
"We shall soon know, Sir John," he observed, hitching the sea-lion skin into symmetry, "whether it is sink or swim!" "Pray explain yourself, Mr. Poke," cried I, in a little alarm. "If anything serious is to happen, you are bound to give timely notice." "Death is always untimely to some critturs, Sir John." "Am I to understand, sir, that you mean to cast away the ship?"
"Waal, to own the truth, he laugh'd at it, like all natur'. I don't believe they put any great weight on a syllable the major told 'em. I never see critturs with such onbelievin' faces! After talking as long as suited themselves, they ordered the major to be shut up in a buttery, with a warrior at the door for a sentinel; a'ter which they took to examining me."
The taciturn storekeeper, who regards his customers with a stare of solemn amusement as Critturs born by some extraordinary vicissitude of nature to the use of a language that practically amounts to deafness and dumbness, never suffers his philosophical interest in them to affect his commercial efficiency; he drops them now and then a curt English phrase, or expressive Yankee idiom; he knows very well when they mean to buy and when they do not; and they equally wary and equally silent, unswayed by the glib allurements of a salesman, judge of price and quality for themselves, make their solitary offer, and stand or fall by it.
Let's make a trap'; 'n' when the rail fences all hollered out, 'We're goin' to turn agin you! 'n' when a bit of swamp hollered louder than any, 'Let's suck down Billy Maydew suck down Billy Maydew! 'n' when a lot o' bamboo vines running over cedars, up with 'Hold him fast until you hear a bullet whizzing! 'n' I got to the Shenandoah and there wa'n't no bridge, 'n' the Shenandoah says 'I'd just as soon drown men as look at them! when all them things talked so, I knew just how the critturs feel in the woods; 'n' I ain't so crazy about hunting as I was and I say again this here air a most con-ve-ni-ent bridge."
