So I stuck the tube to my ear. "You're the nurse?" she says through it, but not very loud, for a deef person, that is. "Louder," sez I. So she sed it real loud, an' I nodded. 'Then she motioned me to come into the room to the front, that I had seen the man look out of.
I don't care whether you're deef or dumb, or whether you're nummer'n a beetle! It's my bandbox I'm arter. Isr'el in Egypt! you might grind some folks in a mortar an' you couldn't make 'em speak!" It was of no use. Intimidation had been worse than hopeless; even bodily force would not avail.
How about ear trumpets? And Ed wrote that an ear trumpet would probably help some, but why didn't I try a pair of them patent fixin's that are made to put inside deef people's ears? He'd known of cases where they helped a lot. So I sent for a pair, and the biggest ear trumpet made, besides.
And out into the kitchen and here was Tillie, the maid, and Yetta, the cook, both saying it's queer, but they ain't heard a sound of 'em either, for near an hour. So I yelled out back to an old hick of a gardener that's deef, and he comes running; but he don't know a thing on earth about the kids or anything else. Then I am sick!
Who would have thought of Mark's bein' smart enough to set his Pa on that tack? The way these city folks eat anythin' that is give them is scandalous. They must have crops like yaller ducks. Have you heard 'bout Mrs. Jo G.'s Maud Grace?" "No, Susan Jane." Janet stirred the cake she was making by Susan's recipe energetically. "You're deef as a bulkhead, Janet! I bet you're envious."
And when we see Jubiter Dunlap here spreading around in the very same disguise Jake told us HE was going to wear, we thought it was Jake his own self and he was goo-gooing deef and dumb, and THAT was according to agreement. "Well, me and Huck went on hunting for the corpse after the others quit, and we found it.
"Whao! Whao! I tell ye. Be ye deef, or be ye jest contrary? "I b'lieve them critters 'd like ter see me wait 'til June fer plaoughin'." The ill-matched pair came to a standstill, and so listless was their bearing, that one would say that having decided to halt, nothing would induce them to again draw the plough.
"Hardest dollar ever I airned," repeated Walky, shaking his head, "and jest carryin' a mess of goose feathers "Hullo! who's this here comin' aboard?" Janice had run to answer a knock at the side door. Aunt 'Mira came more slowly with the sitting room lamp which she had lighted. "Well, Janice Day! Air ye all deef here?" exclaimed a high and rather querulous voice. "Do come in, Mrs.
De Lord God Amighty fogive po' ole Jim, kaze he never gwyne to fogive hisself as long's he live! Oh, she was plumb deef en dumb, Huck, plumb deef en dumb en I'd ben a-treat'n her so!" NEXT day, towards night, we laid up under a little willow towhead out in the middle, where there was a village on each side of the river, and the duke and the king begun to lay out a plan for working them towns.
"My husband, I'm telling yer. Are yer deef?" Suddenly Rhona rose and rushed to the door. "I want to send a message." "By-and-by," said the matron, and her rum-reeking breath came full in the girl's face. The matron was drunk. For an hour she confided to Rhona the history of her married life, and each time that Rhona dared cry, "I want to send a message!" she replied, "By-and-by."
