It was a very painful thought, and he did his best to put it away from him. Still, it was a little hard to have a young lady, whom he had known since before she began to walk, remark to him, "Excuse me, sir, but can you tell me if Mr. Dabney Kinzer is here?" "No, Jenny Walters," sharply responded Dab, "he isn't here." "Why, Dabney!" exclaimed the pretty Jenny. "Is that you?
Dabney, I shall want you to go over to the Morris house with me after breakfast. Then you may hitch up the ponies, and we'll do some errands around the village." Dab Kinzer's sisters looked at one another in blank astonishment, and Samantha would have left the table if she had only finished her breakfast.
We got in company with her in the fog, after the storm. That was yesterday evening." "Down the Jersey coast? Do you mean you've been out at sea?" "Yes, father; and I'd go again, with Dab Kinzer for captain. Do you know, father, he never left the rudder of 'The Swallow' from the moment we started until seven o'clock this morning."

Finally, the joint being in the oven, and vegetables prepared, the cook had compounded Jim's favourite cake, which was now baking; during which delicate operation, with a large dab of flour on her nose, the cook sat at the table, and wrote a letter.
The Kinzer family knew all about those cuffs and collars, and Ham Morris and the younger ladies were trying hard not to laugh. "Joe," said Fuz snappishly, "can't you take a joke?

But don't you think three meals a day is rather short allowance for a boy like Dab?" Miranda thought a moment, but then she answered, positively: "No, I don't. Not if he does as well at each one of them as Dab is sure to." "Well," said Ham, "that was in his old clothes, that were too tight for him. Now he's got a good loose fit, with plenty of room, you don't know how much more he may need.
"My father'll know just what to do about your baggage, and so forth." There were endless questions to be asked and answered on both sides; but at last Dab yawned a very sleepy yawn, and said, "Ford, you've had your nap. Wake up Dick, there, and let him take his turn at the tiller. The sea's as smooth as a lake, and I believe I'll go to sleep for an hour or so.

"'I gets mingled up with a wounded buck once, says Dave Tutt, takin' a dab of paint, 'an' I nacherally wrastles him down an' lops one of his front laigs over his antlers, an' thar I has him; no more harm left in him than a chamber-maid. Mine's a white-tailed deer over on the Careese.
"I know it's foolish, and there isn't a bit of danger; but I must confess to being a good deal frightened." Dab Kinzer was a little the proudest boy on Long Island, as he walked along at Annie's side, in compliance with her request.
