And Mitch was ridin' on the side of a car with his foot hangin' down that he had cut in two, draggin' against the wheel, which he didn't notice because his foot was numb from being cut in two when he was four or five years old. So the train gave a lurch and dragged him under; and the wheels cut him at the hip. It couldn't be amputated by the doctor, and they couldn't stop the bleedin'.
But I wouldn't 'a' knowed that voice for Skipper Jim's 'twas so hollow and breathless. 'She's draggin', says he. 'Let her drag. They's a better anchorage in there a bit. She'll take the bottom agin afore she strikes them craft. "We was draggin' fast bearin' straight down on the craft inside. They was a trader an' two Labrador fishin'-craft.
"Wall," sez he, cross as a bear, "that is the way you'll have to take me back, if you go on in this way much longer." "In what way, Josiah?" sez I. "Why a findin' springs and draggin' a man off to 'em, and makin' him drink." "Why, Josiah Allen," sez I, "I told you not to drink don't you remember?" "No! I don't remember nuthin', nor don't want to.
"For what he done to Peggy damn him! He sneaked into the house an' hurt her head, draggin' her to Okar to Maison's. I've killed Maison, an' I'll kill him!" "He ain't here, then Dale ain't?" demanded Sanderson. "They ain't nobody here," gruffly announced Nyland. "They've been here, an' gone. Dale, most likely. The house looks like a twister had struck it!"
When I look at Jim, handsome and head up in the air, and think how he'd look all bowed down, hair turnin' gray, and not carin' whether he's shaved and has on a clean shirt or not, 'cause he's got loaded down with debt, and the grocery-man and the butcher after him, and no work, and me and the children draggin' him down, I can bear anything.
Sez I, "That bolster is thin cloth, Josiah Allen, and you'll probably have to pay now for draggin' it all over the floor. If anybody should see you with it there, that bolster would be charged in your bill. And how would it look to the neighbors to have a bolster charged in your bill? And I should treasure it, Josiah Allen, as bein' the last bill you made before you broke your neck !"
Old Mother Nolan sat beside the bed, smoking her pipe. "Was it ye let off the old gun out the door?" he asked. "Nay, 'twas Mary done it," replied Mother Nolan, blinking her black eyes at him. "An' where bes Mary now?" he asked. "In me own bed. Sure, when she was draggin' ye into the house, didn't some divil jab her in the neck wid a great knife."
Bimeby, we hear steps on de peazzer, en yer come a couple er young fellers wid strops on der shoulders, en der sodes a draggin' on de flo', en der spurrers a rattlin'. I won't say I wuz skeer'd," said Uncle Remus, as though endeavoring to recall something he failed to remember, "I won't say I wuz skeer'd, kaze I wuzzent; but I wuz took'n wid a mighty funny feelin' in de naberhood er de gizzard.
Next mornin' I was eatin' breakfast in a barn miles away, and dreadful lonesome, when he came tearin' in, all mud and wet, with a great piece of rope draggin'. He'd gnawed it and come after me, and wouldn't go back or be lost; and I'll never leave him again, will I, dear old feller?"
There he was draggin' me up an' down at the tail of a plough, wid the wet soakin' in through the holes in his brogues, till I couldn't stand it any more, an' I come away wid meself, an' I've been waitin' for ye this two hours. 'Ho then, indeed, says the Spider, 'I'd have been glad enough to be out of it before this; I never was so put about in me life as I was up there, says he.
