Then the two hussies would talk of nature, 'our beautiful nature' Dorindy says Eve had the impudence to call it, and, as if human nature and its failings and backsliding wore not a fitter subject for a young woman's discourse, than a silly conversation about lakes, and rocks, and trees, and as if she owned the nature about Templeton. It is my opinion, Mr.
"I come back from the post-office," said Lute, "and I was cal'latin' to read the newspaper, but Dorindy had some everlastin' chore or other for me to do I believe she thinks 'em up in her sleep and I left the paper on the dinin'-room table and went out to the barn. Dorindy she come along to boss me, as usual. When we went back to the house there was Mrs.
I give you my word I couldn't scurcely tell where your neck left off and the strip of red flannel you made me tie 'round it begun." "Don't make no difference! I FELT pale, anyhow. And I didn't eat no more'n Ros does. You'll have to give in to that, Dorindy. I didn't eat nothin' but beef tea and gruel." "You et enough of them to float a schooner." "Maybe I did," with grieved dignity; "maybe I did.
I I didn't know you and she was was " "Never mind that. What were you doing here?" "I was chasin' after you, Ros. I just heard the most astonishing thing. Jed Dean was to the house to make Dorindy and me promise to say nothin' about that Shore Lane 'cause you never sold it, and he said Mr. Colton had offered you a turrible fine job along of him and that you was goin' to take it.
"Sittin' on the stairs there, listenin', wan't you?" Lute raised himself to his knees. "I think," he panted, "I I swan! I shouldn't wonder if I'd broke my leg!" "Um-hm! Well, if you'd broke your neck 'twouldn't have been no more'n you deserve. Shame on you! Sneakin' thing!" "Now, Dorindy, I I wan't listenin'. I was just " "Don't talk to me. Don't you open your mouth.
Dorindy maintains that it is impossible to get a sentiment out of her concerning a single fellow-creature. When she talked of the late unpleasant affair of poor neighbour Bronson's family a melancholy transaction that, Mr. Dodge, and I shouldn't wonder if it went to nigh break Mrs.
She's my wife and it's my duty to think for her and look out for her." He paused and reached into his overalls pocket for a pipe. Finding it, he reached into another pocket for the wherewithal to fill it. "Have you suggested to her that she's flying in the face of Providence?" I asked. Lute shook his head. "No," he admitted, "I ain't. Got any tobacco about you? Dorindy hove my plug away yesterday.
Um-hm. I want to know! Well then MAN, where did the cash in that pocket come from?" Lute squirmed. "I I " he stammered. "Where did it come from? Answer me." "Well well, Dorindy, you see when you sent me up to the store t'other day after the brown sugar and and number 50 spool cotton you give me seventy-five cents. You remember you did, yourself."
Now, Captain Dean, I believe you were sending a message to me just now. I am here and you can deliver it. What is it you have to say?" Before he could answer Dorinda spoke once more. "Lute," she said, "you come along with me into the dinin'-room." "But but, Dorindy, I " "You come with me. This ain't any of my business any more, and it never was any of yours. Come! move!"
"Zing! here comes one of the Almighty's no'theasters, same as we're likely to have to-morrer, and the consarned yard is just as dirty as ever. Ain't that so?" I looked at the yard. "It seems to be about as it was," I agreed, with some sarcasm. Lute was an immune, so far as sarcasm was concerned. "Yup," he said, triumphantly. "Now, Dorindy, she's a good, pious woman.
