He was a drefful drinkin' old crittur, that lived there all alone in the woods by himself a-tendin' saw and grist mill. He wasn't allers jest what he was then. Time was that Cack was a pretty consid'ably likely young man, and his wife was a very respectable woman, Deacon Amos Petengall's dater from Sherburn.

"Wal, the cap'n he was drefful sort o' oneasy arter she was gone. He had a long talk in the cabin with Mr. More, the fust officer; and there was a sort o' stir aboard as if somethin' was a goin' to happen, we couldn't jest say what it was. "Sometimes it seems as if, when things is goin' to happen, a body kind o' feels 'em comin' in the air.

This time he stood still. "Dot one, two, free many's ten I fink. Tommy, he's naughty, calls my rag dolly a meal-bag I'll sell him. He's a drefful wicked boy; he snaps beans at the teacher and gets a whipping every single day." "I'll take him," said the big man. "How much shall I pay you what shall I give you for him?" "A han'kercher with some perfoomery on it."

"Huldy was a gal of spirit, and she despised the talk, but it made her drefful uncomfortable; and when she got home at night she sat down in the mor-nin'-glory porch, quite quiet, and didn't sing a word. "The minister he had heard the same thing from one of his deakins that day; and, when he saw Huldy so kind o' silent, he says to her, 'Why don't you sing, my child?

She could hardly hear the conversation of the two boys on the other side of the room, as Maggie and Nan were carrying on a lively exchange of question and answer. "Cousin Jeff, I'm quite sure you wouldn't like to have breakfast down-stairs. I did once when Nan was ill, and it was quite drefful," called out Jessie, nodding her head gravely at the recollection.

Young Mas'r George, he said he'd come for me; and he gave me this yer dollar as a sign;" and Tom drew from under his clothes the precious dollar. "O, he'll certainly come, then!" said Eva. "I'm so glad!" "And I wanted to send a letter, you know, to let 'em know whar I was, and tell poor Chloe that I was well off, cause she felt so drefful, poor soul!" "I say Tom!" said St.

He only knew that his pockets were empty and that he felt very sick and very miserable. He shut up his little lips now and raised his eyes, with a sort of scowl in their expression, to Miss Ramsay's face. "Where did you get the lollipops and ginger-beer?" repeated the governess. "That's my own business," said Orion. "I'm drefful sick; I want to go to bed."

Had anyone noticed them, they might have observed Philip and Conrad turn very pale; but all eyes were directed to little Orion, who was lying on the floor, pressing his hand to his stomach and moaning bitterly. "I'm drefful sick," he said; "I wish I had not taken that horrid ginger-beer." "But where did you get ginger-beer?" said Miss Ramsay, finding her voice at last.

Ye see I felt drefful bad, for I could year way off, but plain enuff, de bayin' of de hounds, an' I knew dat de men an' de guns an' de dogs was all after me; but de day passed an' dey didn't come.

Yes, sir, the hull lot it's nigh on ter three hundred acres, such's 'tis; a good part on't 's swamp though, that ain't wuth a copper the hull lot went to a man down in York State, when the Iron Company bust up here, and for two or three year the chap he jest sent up his note for the taxes, and they've a drefful shiftless way o' lettin' things go in this ere town, 's you know, sir; there wan't nobody that knowed what a sugar orchard was a lyin' in there, or there'd been plenty to grab for it; but I don't s'pose there's three men in the town'd ever been over back o' Birch Hill till this Ganew he come and cut a road in, and had his sugar-camp agoin' one spring, afore anybody knew what he was arter.
