For, as poor as I appear, I have friends of my own that will be blithe to help me." "Hoot-toot!" said uncle Ebenezer, "dinna fly up in the snuff at me. We'll agree fine yet. And, Davie my man, if you're done with that bit parritch, I could just take a sup of it myself.
"Maybe you have a wife, and then " "No, I have no wife, Davie. She died nearly thirty years ago. I have no one but you." "And we will grow small fruits, and raise chickens and have the finest dairy in the State, Sandy." "That is just my idea, Davie."
Presently, however, he hesitated, then stopped, and began looking this way and that from the one to the other of his treasures, both in evil hands. Doubtless his indecision would have been very ludicrous to anyone who had not such a stake in the turn of the scale. As it was, he made up his mind far too soon, for he chose to follow Davie.
David nodded, and he smiled shyly. "Well, good-bye, Davie," the foreman said. "Good-bye," said David. And he turned again and ran to his cart, and he took up the handle. And he started walking as fast as he could, dragging his cart, with his shovel and his hoe rattling in the bottom, and his cat ran on ahead; and she ran right up the front steps and in at the door, and David came after.
He arrested him as a deserter, but soon learned from him that Gates was signally defeated by the British on that day. Major Davie then retraced his steps and took post at Charlotte. On the 5th of September, he was appointed by Governor Nash, Colonel Commandant of Cavalry, with instructions to raise a regiment.
Little Davie had to do without a drink of coffee to-night, and his bread, you know, comes off theirs at every meal. It is very hard on us all!" "I don't think the children mind it, Sallie. Every one of them loves the old man God bless him! He was a good father to me." "I would love him, too, Sandy, if I did not see him eating my children's bread. And neither he nor they get enough.
"Well, then, no more need be said on the subject at present, except that I wish that I were one of you." "Tell us about the new partnership," said Jem. "It is not to be spoken of yet. It is a secret." "Davie told us," said Violet. "Oh, I don't mean it is to be a secret here! But it is not to be decided till my father comes home. Though I suppose he will let me do as I like."
She told David of one and another who had spoken to her of his father, blessing his memory, because of what he had done for them and theirs, in the service of his Master, and then she said "It is the only true and worthy life, Davie a life of work for the Master. Is it to be yours, my boy?" "Yes, mamma. In one way or another, it is to be mine. Whether it is to be as papa's was, I cannot tell."
But Davie Paine, I noticed, held his head higher than I ever had seen it before; for Roger's appreciation of his sound common sense had pleased him beyond measure and had done wonders to restore his self-confidence. First there were interwoven bushes and vines beside the road, and then tall reeds and marsh grasses; now there was sand underfoot, now mud.
First, his cousin Morrison died, and the old business was scattered and forgotten. Then Davie had to move his residence very frequently; had even to follow lengthy jobs into various country places, so that his old address soon became a very blind clew to him.
