"Der der der ditter ready!" shouted Dunning, in a voice which at last went off like the terminating clap of a rattling thunder peal, as he and his two associates leaped, coatless, from the ground, to be prepared for the instant execution of the expected order.
"But what do you mean by first claim on me?" "Well, I ditter mean that I have another, when they get through with you." "Explain yourself, sir." "I will. You ditter know that your governor has offered a reward of fifty pounds for the ditter delivery of Ethan Allen for the gallows, under a law got through the York Assembly, principally by one Squire Brush.
"Mine is, that we are now drawn up, two hundred strong, in the first woods south of the village, and are ready to march." "And mine, that we are der ditto; besides being a hundred better than you, all chafing, like ditter tied-up dogs, to be let on."
"How like the ditter deuse these lawyers do scratch gravel!" exclaimed Tom Dunning, as he singled out and gave chase to Stearns and Knights, who together were making their way across the fields, in the direction of the river, as if life and death hung on their speed.
But though he regained his ditter hit and disappeared, I soon saw a piece of white paper blowing along in the water towards me. After a while, it reached the sort of point where I was, and lodging against a bush, I secured it, and found it this same thing. What do you think of it, captain?" "Why, it unfolds a plan too bold for credence." "Not too bold for my ditter credence, captain."
But der stay; didn't I catch the glimmer of a distant horseman then?" he continued, pointing along the partially wooded road to the west. "There! that was a clearer view; and, by the ditter darting kind of gait of the horse, I should think it might be Lightfoot, and the short rider the critter we've been talking about."
"Ditter, dog, my cat, if I der don't begin to believe you are considerable of a critter: and I've half a mind to risk you a piece; so come into the house, and, der let me take a squint at your phiz in the light."
This house was occupied by a middle-aged, single man, known by the name of Tom Dunning, though often called Ditter Dunning, and sometimes Der Ditter, on account of his frequent use of these terms as prefixes to his words and sentences, arising from a natural impediment of speech.
"Ditter devils and dumplings!" exclaimed the hunter, as, with eyes sparkling with excitement, he sprang to his feet, as the other finished his recital. "This must be made known directly. Come der follow me, and I'll take you to the company you ditter said you wished to see."
"It will be all right, I presume, Bill, now you perceive Bart's neck may depend on your ditter discretion. But who have we there?" added the speaker, pointing down the road towards the woods. While Dunning and Piper were thus engrossed in conversation, two men, on foot, had emerged from the woods and approached within a hundred yards, before attracting the attention of the former.
