The work did not seem to him to be called for in such a hurry. What was the use of altering anything? It was a very good accommodation, spacious, well-distributed, on a rather old-fashioned plan, and with its decorations somewhat tarnished. But a dab of varnish, a touch of gilding here and there, was all that was necessary. As to comfort, it could not be improved by any alterations.
"Oh! well," said Blake, "you must remember that the beggars were Ghazees; they're hard to stop. Then our men were worn out and had been sniped every night for the last week or two. However, the bugler's the key to my explanation; I'll put this dab of cigar ash here to represent him.
"You have been reading and thinking, haven't you, Reverdy?" "Oh, yes, all the time. What I am afraid of is a war. I had a little dab of it in the Black Hawk trouble. But a war between these states would shake the earth. I have two boys, you know. Sarah worries about it. Everybody's beginning to live in a kind of terror." "I have read about it too, ever since I have been in America.
Bluebell observed that her decorative preparations were restricted to a dab of violet-powder on her nose, and a slight application of lip-salve. "I can't let her go down such a figure," thought she, "though she is dreadfully angry with me," and, seizing a comb, began silently to effect a reformation in Coey's chevelure. "Oh, thank you," said the other distantly. "Isn't it right? Never mind.
"Ay, and every mile shining to the eye. I've seen pictures in my time, but never one that made a dab of paint look a mile deep. Besides, why draw a thing when you can lie on your back and look up at it?" I was about to answer when Dick raised his head, with a queer alertness in his eyes. Then he vented a long, low whistle, and went on binding up Meg's jaw.
Thar was only a little dab o' meal in the box, and just a rind o' hog meat. Thar is two more littler children than this un, an' they was cryin' for some'n' to eat. I know how it was; John was jest too weak to git out o' the way o' the wheels. Oh, don't mind me, Miss! He's dead he's dead dead dead! Oh, God, have mercy! Kill me kill us all an' put us out o' pain." Tears stood in Irene's eyes.
"Bully for you," said Ford; "but you mustn't forget there's a stove in our room, when cold weather comes. Got your books out?" "Here they are. I will pile them upon the table." "Stick to it, Dick," said Ford. "But it's about time we set out for Dr. Brandegee's. Dab, hadn't we better kindle a fire before we go? It makes me feel chilly to think of it."
"Now, Doctor," he said, pointing to the pumpkin, "there is the 'arth, and here is the tar-pot just mark down the position of your island of Leaphigh, if you please, according to the best accounts your academy has of the matter. Make a dab here and there, if you happen to know of any rocks and shoals.
If you had, man or boy, you wouldn't have been game for much reading when you got home; you'd do just what these poor fellows do, tumble into bed at eight o'clock, hardly waiting to take your clothes off, knowing that you must turn up again at five o'clock the next morning to get a breakfast of bread, and, perhaps, a dab of the squire's dripping, and then back to work again; and so on, day after day, sir, week after week, year after year, without a hope or a chance of being anything but what you are, and only too thankful if you can get work to break your back, and catch the rheumatism over.
Why not?" "I aint a w'ite boy." "What of it? Don't you learn well enough over at the school?" "More dar like me. Wot'd I do in a place whar all de res' was w'ite?" "Well as anybody." "Wot'll my mudder say, w'en she gits de news? You isn't a jokin', is you, Dab Kinzer?" "Joking? I guess not." "You's lit on me powerful sudden, 'bout dis.
