Deakin, with whose point of view I thoroughly agree, have repeatedly explained the great political, national, and I might almost say moral aspects of that policy. There is a great deal more in it than a readjustment of duties twopence off this and a penny on that. I do not say that such details are not important.
The deakin looked him over in a don't-care kind of a way, an' didn't 'parently give much heed to what I was sayin'. Finely I says, 'Wa'al, what do you think of him? 'Wa'al, he says, 'he seems to be a likely enough critter, but I don't believe he'd suit Mr. White 'fraid not, he says. 'What you askin' fer him? he says.
"Yes, an' no, an' mebbe, an' mebbe not," was the categorical reply. "Wa'al," she answered with a snap, "mebbe you call that an answer. I s'pose if you don't want to let on you won't, but I do believe you've ben playin' some trick on the deakin, an' won't own up. I do wish," she added, "that if you hed to git rid of a balky horse onto somebody you'd hev picked out somebody else."
With a swift pass of the hand, the old gentleman caught up the lamp and had shaken a drop of burning oil into the bowl. A great blaze leap'd to the ceiling. There was a howl a scream of pain; and as I push'd Mistress Delia through the doorway and out to the head of the stairs, I caught a backward glimpse of Sir Deakin rushing after us, with one of the stoutest among the robbers at his heels.
As I come along to within a mile f'm the deakin's house I seen somebody in the road, an' when I come up closter I see it was the deakin himself, in trouble, an' I kind o' slowed up to see what was goin' on. There he was, settin' all humped up with his ole broad-brim hat slopin' down his back, a-sheddin' water like a roof.
"By gosh, it's kinder tough," he said, "I wuz jess a dreamin ez I wuz latherin deakin. I'd jess swotted him one in the snout wen ye woke me, an naow, by gorry, I've got tew go an work fer the critter." "An ye better hurry, tew," urged his wife anxiously. "Ye know ye didn't dew the fuss thing all day yis'dy."
I am glad to think that some account of the rich and singular flora of the Coliseum has been preserved by Deakin and Sebastiani, and possibly by others. I could round their efforts by describing the fauna of the Coliseum. The fauna of the Coliseum especially after 11 p.m. would make a readable book; readable but hardly printable. These little local studies are not without charm.
"Didn't the deakin have a chance to try him?" "He had all the chance he ast fer," replied David. "Fact is, he done most of the sellin', as well 's the buyin', himself." "How's that?" "Wa'al," said David, "it come about like this: After I'd got the hoss where I c'd handle him I begun to think I'd had some int'restin' an' valu'ble experience, an' it wa'n't scurcely fair to keep it all to myself.
Deakin, it is true, was making his second voyage; but Willie Weeks, though young, had begun early; and Upton, a man of forty, knew the banks and currents of the North Sea as well as Weeks. "It's all right," said the skipper, "if the weather holds." And for a month the weather did hold, and the catches were good, and Duncan learned a great deal.
Bixbee, looking up at her brother, "thet after all the' was anythin' you said to the deakin thet he could ketch holt on." "The' wa'n't nothin'," he replied. "The only thing he c'n complain about's what I didn't say to him." "Hain't he said anythin' to ye?" Mrs. Bixbee inquired. "He, he, he, he! He hain't but once, an' the' wa'n't but little of it then." "How?"
