"Aye, 'tis a fine marnin'," announced Thomas, "but I were thinkin' 'twould be better to wait over till to-morrow for the trip. After your long voyage 'twould be a bit trying for you to turn back to-day to Fort Pelican without restin' up, and I'm not doubtin' a day whatever'll do no harm to the potaters and things." "I believe you're right, Thomas," and Doctor Joe spoke with evident relief.
And all through the long, long time that he looked through the shadows for a more sure foe than had ever lain in Southern ambush for him, he wuz on duty. Not an impatient word, not an anxious word. Of all the feerin', doubtin', hopin', achin' hearts about him, he only wuz calm.
"She's right over where the trap were set! The trap's gone," said one of the sons. "I'm doubtin'," Skipper Tom was measuring the distance critically with his eye. "The trap's tore to pieces," insisted the son with discouragement in his voice. "The berg's to the lee'ard of she," declared Skipper Tom finally. "Tis too close t' shore." "'Tis to the lee'ard!" "Is you sure, now, Pop?"
For our Lord plainly said to 'is disciples arter he came out o' the tomb 'Behold my hands and my feet, handle me and see, an' to the doubtin' Thomas He said 'Reach hither thy hand and thrust it into my side, and be not faithless but believing. David, you mark my words! them as 'as their bodies burnt in crematorums is just as dirty in their souls as they can be, an' they 'opes to burn all the blackness o' theirselves into nothingness an' never to rise no more, 'cos they'se afraid!
But she can never live here among these people. I must take her to Halifax." "No," said Mr. Allan; "her work will be here. She belongs to her people in heart, all the same. She will not be discontented."

"Maybe," he began, and then finished weakly: "I be damned!" "There ain't no reasonable way of doubtin' that unless you put out that smoke. Hear me?" Shorty Kilrain, coming from the kitchen, grinned broadly. Having felt the lash of discipline himself, he was glad to see it fall in another place. He continued his gleeful course around that side of the table.
'I'd as soon think of distrustin' that Laredo divorce of my former he'pmeet! An' as the sheriff drives off two hundred head of my cattle by way of alimony, I deems the fact of that sep'ration as fixed beyond cavil. No, Colonel, you has my fullest confidence. I'd go doubtin' the evenhanded jestice of Cherokee's faro game quicker than distrustin' you.
Hopewell, says he, 'I won't write, but if ary a Unitarian crosses my path, I'll jist over the fence with him in no time, as the parson did the boxer; FOR WRITIN' ONLY AGGRAVATES YOUR OPPONENTS, AND NEVER CONVINCES THEM. I NEVER SEED A CONVERT MADE BY THAT WAY YET; BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I HAVE SEED: A MAN SET HIS OWN FLOCK A DOUBTIN' BY HIS OWN WRITIN'. YOU MAY HAPPIFY YOUR ENEMIES, CANTANKERATE YOUR OPPONENTS, AND INJURE YOUR OWN CAUSE BY IT, BUT I DEFY YOU TO SARVE IT. These writers, said he, 'put me in mind of that 'ere boxer's pupils.
"Some careless cowboy's cigarette, I'll bet." Stillwell rolled out his laugh. "Al, you sure are a free-hearted, trustin' feller.

"Four hundred fifty," said Marks, and he drew forth a roll of bills and counted out the money. "There's the cash. Take it. I want this fur. It's a big price." "I can't take un," Toby declined, unmoved. "I'm not doubtin' 'tis a fair price, but I'll not sell un. The fur's for Dad to sell when he comes home." "You're a stubborn young fool!" blurted the man in a burst of temper.
