The result of this examination was waited for by all on board, including Roswell, with the deepest anxiety. The last held the lantern by which the height of the water in the well was to be ascertained; the light of the moon scarce sufficing for such a purpose. Daggett stood on the top of the pump himself, while Gardiner and Macy were at its side.
Daggett, to whom the above remark had come to signify not merely a statement of fact, but a gentle reprimand. "I know you like 'em good and hot; and cold buckwheat cakes certainly is about th' meanest vict'als.... There!" And she transferred a neat pile of the delicate, crisp rounds from the griddle to her husband's plate with a skill born of long practice. "About that furnitur'," remarked Mr.
He was here peelin' 'taters for supper, cookie says, jest b'fore we landed. Now he's sloped." "He saw you comin', it's likely," rejoined Preston. "He suspected what you was after." "Well, I'm goin' to leave Daggett. And, Lem!" "Yes, sir?" said that slouching person. "You got to get him. Now mind that.
"My next-door neighbour, Miss Daggett." "What! Not Locky Ann Daggett!" exclaimed Elsie, laughing merrily. "It was Miss Rachel Daggett. I don't know why you call her by that queer name," said Patty. "Oh, I've known her ever since I was a baby, and mother always calls her Locky Ann Daggett, and grandmother did before her. You know Locky is a nickname for Rachel." "I didn't know it," said Patty.
Daggett summed up in a single pithy sentence all the legal phraseology of the Document, which by now had been signed by everybody old enough to write their names: "Well! we certainly are glad you've come home, Lyddy; an' we hope you'll never leave us no more!" "Fanny," said Ellen suddenly; "I want to tell you something." Mrs.
The leg of Daggett was certainly broken, a little distance above his ancle; and various bruises in other places, gave notice of the existence of other injuries. To do anything with the poor man, lying where he was, was out of the question, however; and the first thing was to remove the sufferer to a more eligible position.
Burchell Daggett is enthused about it, him being a superb horseman himself, and, if I know what she means, don't I think she carries herself in the saddle almost better than any girl in her set, and won't her style show better than ever in this duck of a costume, and she must get her tan shoes polished, and do I think Mr.
It had been diligently pointed out to Joe by his thrifty parents that all rich men began life by sweeping out stores and other menial tasks, and for some time Joe had been working for Mr. Daggett with doubtful alacrity. Joe liked the store. There was a large stock of candy, dried fruit, crackers and pickles; Joe was a hungry boy, and Mr. Daggett had told him he could eat what he wished.
"That would hardly quit cost, Daggett; it would be better to come over and pass the heel of the winter with us, when the supplies get to be short here. As we eat, we make room in the hut, you know; and you will be so much the more comfortable. An empty pork-barrel was broken up for the camboose yesterday morning." "We shall see we shall see, Gardner.
Daggett was obviously relieved by Roswell's pledges; for, amid the anguish and apprehensions of his unexpected state, his thoughts had most keenly adverted to his vessel and her fortunes. Now that his mind was somewhat relieved on this score, the pains of his body became more sensibly felt. The situation of our party was sufficiently embarrassing.
