I'm sure we never had such queer weather afore. But them bugs are the hardest critturs to kill. It's almost impossible to dispose on 'em; and it does seem enough, what with ploughin' and plantin' and harrowin' and hoein' to git a few potatoes, and like enough, wet weather to rot 'em, without havin' to fight over 'em, for the last chance, with a whole army of varmint.
"Poor critturs!" said Tom, "what made 'em cruel? and, if I give out, I shall get used to 't, and grow, little by little, just like 'em! No, no, Missis!
Sartin we must trust to Him an' let things slide a bit, jest as He may direct 'em. To go out of our kiver now 'ud be the same as steppin' inter the heart o' a forest fire. Them sogers air mounted on swift horses, an' 'ud ketch up wi these slow critturs o' mules in the shakin' o' goat's tail. Thurfor, let's lie by till night. Tain't fur off now.
Pretty well for one night's work, ain't it? and for me too, that's so fond of the dear little critturs, I wouldn't hurt a hair of their head, if I could help it, to save my soul alive. What a spot o' work! "What the plague do people mean here by askin' a mob to their house, and invitin' twice as many as can get into it?
"Yes, yes," said Haley; "but your good fellers are just the critturs to want ter run off. Them stupid ones, as doesn't care whar they go, and shifless, drunken ones, as don't care for nothin', they'll stick by, and like as not be rather pleased to be toted round; but these yer prime fellers, they hates it like sin. No way but to fetter 'em; got legs, they'll use 'em, no mistake."
You were all I had, and when you gave yourself away from me I was left alone with the heart-ache, and began to think myself born to live without love. 'In spite of the lovers you had in London? 'You know better. That was the Honourable Miss Martindale. What did they know of the real Theodora? 'Poor critturs, what indeed! They would have run far enough if they had. 'I knew it.
Of all the starved, God-forsaken critturs as I've ever seed they're 'bout the worst!" They were.
This was all the work of a minute, and he was back again; but so exceedingly out of breath that it was necessary for him to stop a moment and rest himself. Uncle Lot looked ungraciously satisfied. "What under the canopy set you to scampering so?" said he; "I could a' driv out them critturs myself."
"You tarnation critturs!" he at last bawled, with the accents of one driven to desperation, "if there a'n't no dodging you, then there a'n't. Here's for you, you everlasting varmints due your darndest!"
They were interrupted at this moment by the appearance of Jake Wheeler and Sam Price, who came gaping out of the darkness of the store. "Was that Jethro, Mose?" demanded Jake. "Guess we'll go along up and see if there's any orders." "I suppose the humblest of God's critturs has their uses," Moses remarked contemplatively, as he watched the retreating figures of Sam and Jake.
