You kin find more kindness and charity and long-sufferin' and tenderness and goodness right here amongst the cantankerous-seemin' of Coldriver 'n you kin find anywheres else on earth.... They're narrer, Eva, and they got sot notions, but they got a power to do kindness, once you git 'em started at it, that hain't to be beat.... I kind of calculate God hain't so disapp'inted with the folks of Coldriver as a stranger might git the idee he is.... Now we'll go ahead."
"Not it not it the Sarpent is not the one to suffer if that's to be the law. Sartainly there has been no onset, and 'tis most likely that the camp's deserted, and the men are comin' back disapp'inted. That accounts for the growls of Hurry and the silence of the Sarpent." Just at this instant a fall of a paddle was heard in the canoe, for vexation made March reckless.
"Somebody tried to kill me, but somebody didn't kill me; here I am, getting stronger every day, so we'll let it go at that." "Why then I'm done!" said the Old Un, rising. "Guv, you're crool an' stony-'carted! 'Ere 's me, a pore old cove as has been dreamin' an' dreamin' o' gallers-trees an' 'lectric chairs, and 'ere 's you been an' took 'em off me! Guv, I'm disapp'inted wi' ye.
But now it be tur'ble 'ard to be disapp'inted like this, Peter arter I'd set my 'eart on it an' me such a old man such a very ancient man. Oh, Peter! you be full o' disapp'intments, an' all manner o' contrariness; sometimes I a'most wishes as I'd never took the trouble to find ye at all!" And, with this Parthian shot, the old man sighed, and turned his back upon me, and tottered out of the forge.
By the way, speakin' of hypocrites, I suppose there's just as much 'Dunnin'' as ever goin' on up there?" "Yes. A little more, if anything, I'm afraid. Your niece and Mrs. Dunn and her precious son are together now so constantly that people are expecting well, you know what they expect." "I can guess. I hope they'll be disapp'inted." "So do I, but I must confess I'm fearful.
And he stood aside, giving place to the pilot. "Shipmates," said Dyer, turning to the crowd of eager-eyed men clustered thickly about the deck below him, "you do all look most terrible disapp'inted because we'm leavin' thicky island astern, instead of goin' in and anchorin' before mun. But though he do look so good and enticin' he baint quite so good as he do look.
He remembered well what the paper had said concerning the treasure, yet he did his best to steel himself against possible disappointment. Plum Deemed to read his thoughts, for as he rode up he said: "Jack, thet treasure might have been here years ago, but don't be disapp'inted if it's gone now. Them waters may have washed it away." "I am willing to take what comes, Plum," was the answer.
"In which case, old Tom, why was their first salute an attempt to cut our throats?" "We don't know that their design was so bloody. It's natural and easy for an Indian to fall into ambushes and surprises; and, no doubt they wished to get on board the ark first, and to make their conditions afterwards. That a disapp'inted savage should fire at us, is in rule; and I think nothing of that.
Gran'ther lived to be old, and there was ten or a dozen years after his wife died that he lived year and year about with Uncle Tobias's folks and our folks. Uncle Tobias lived over on the Ridge. I got home from my first v'y'ge as mate of the Daylight just in time for his funeral. I was disapp'inted to find the old man was gone.
The mother faced the visitor at this announcement and for a moment she appeared to be gazing at a vision, for her wrinkled countenance was glorified. "You've seen 'em, haven't you, mister?" "Mountains? A great many." Allegheny broke in: "I dunno's these di'mon's is just what I expected 'em to be. They are and they ain't. I'm kind of disapp'inted." Gray smiled.
