She showed us all through the back part o' the house, and we praised everything and told her it looked like old experienced housekeepin' instead of a bride's. "Well, when we went back to the dinin'-room on our way to the porch, if there wasn't Harvey bendin' over the table countin' the silver teaspoons!
I'm here on business, and I ain't no fence, and I'll just trouble you to leave." Offitt's face turned livid. He growled: "Of all Andylusian jacks, you're the beat. I ain't agoin' to hurt you nor your friend Farnham. I've got all the p'ints I want for my story, and devilish little thanks to you, neither. And say, tell me, ain't there a back way out? I don't want to go by the dinin'-room door.
Only a few days after I was totin' an armful o' plates to the dinin'-room for Aunt Milla. All at once I's so happy I didn't know myse'f. I drop my plates, an' broke I don't know how many. But I didn't stop for plates; I shouted, 'Bless Massa Jesus! Glory! Glory hallelujah to God!
Seems to me I ought to be mistered to-day. Someone ought to do it, anyway." "Why to-day any more than yesterday?" asks Vee. I waits until the dinin'-room steward has faded, and then I remarks haughty: "Maybe it ain't come to you that I'm a near-plute now." "Pooh!" says Vee. "You're not a bit richer than I am." "Boy, page the auditin' committee!" says I. "How strong do you tally up?"
Company are all come, and now they have to be marshalled two and two, lock and lock, and go into the dinin'-room to feed. "When I first came I was nation proud of that title, 'the Attache; now I am happified it's nothin' but 'only an Attache, and I'll tell you why. The great guns, and big bugs, have to take in each other's ladies, so these old ones have to herd together.
Now you're got your chance to a fresh start and don't you ever think I'm going to be the one to let you spoil it by beginnin' to walk out with a dinin'-room Lizzie like me." "Don't say that, Birdie," Ted put in. "It's the truth," affirmed Birdie. "Not that I ain't a perfec'ly respectable girrul, and ye know it.
I was a tellin' Miss Hetty yesterday she couldn't live here alone, noways: we couldn't any of us stand it. Come along into the dinin'-room, an' Cæsar he'll give you a glass of his blackberry wine. Cæsar won't let anybody but hisself touch the blackberry wine, an' hain't this twenty year." "Here, Cæsar! you, Cæsar! where be yer? Come right in here, you loafin' niggah."
I recognized them immeditly. Ye mind the auld gasoliery i' the dinin'-room had twa lichts? Ay, then, the parlour brackets is made oot o' the auld gasoliery." "Weel, Leeby, as sure as ye're standin' there, that passed through my head as sune as Tibbie mentioned them!" "There's nae doot about it. Ay, I was in ane o' the bedrooms, too!" "It would be grand?" But the chairs dinna match.
Why, she says, she never for one second doubted as it was a earthquake. The canary-bird cage come sailin' out o' the dinin'-room window, all the chimneys went down with a crash, an' Amelia give one yell an' fainted. Mrs. Brown says she an' young Dr. Brown did n't really know which way to turn for a minute.
Besides, I hadn't made up my mind just how I was goin' to turn down his proposition. I towed him in, though. He was glancin' around the room approvin', and makin' a few openin' remarks, when the folks come strollin' out from the dinin'-room. I glances up, and sees Mr. Ballard just as he's about to pass the door. So does Dorsett.
