But Arvilly wouldn't give up; she said a ma would always try to cover up things and insisted on it to the last that she should always believe they drinked and got into a fight with Latony's boy and girl. "No," sez I agin, "it wuz Envy and Jealousy that took aim and did this dretful deed." Josiah sez: "Why didn't Ni-obe keep her mouth shet then?"
"Well! now I've drinked," said Tom, after a vast potation, "now I've drinked good we'll have a bite and rest awhile, and smoke a pipe; and then we'll use them quail, and we'll have time to pick up twenty cock in Hell-hole arterwards, and that won't be a slow day's work, I reckon."
They looked like great exclamation points set there to express the futility of our boasted knowledge. Who built them chimblys? Who started the fires under 'em? Who drinked the tea that wuz steeped there? What kind of tea wuz it? Did the water bile? How did them tea drinkers feel and look and act while them chimblys carried off the smoke of their fire? What wuz their highest aspirations and idees?
"He had drinked so much water, that it had soaked through somehow to his hair. And he turned his shirt gettin' over the fence. And we might ask Let Peedick if it wuzn't so." We could hear Letty a whistlin' out to the barn, and we knew he stood ready to say "he see the shirt turn." But we didn't ask.
Even in the first years, while pressure was still upon them, and supplies chiefly from England, one of them wrote: "Sometimes we used bacon and buttered pease, sometimes buttered bag pudding, made with currants and raisins, sometimes drinked pottage of beer and oatmeal, and sometimes water pottage well buttered." Health had come to many who had been sickly from childhood.
Well pa said dar wuz er spring whar dey got watuh. Said he went tuh git watuh outen de sping and had tuh pull dead men outn de spring an dat day drinked of'n dem dead men all while de wah wuz going on. Address: Brinkley, Arkansas "My parents name was Mary Ann and Sam Billingslea. Mother's father lived with us when I first remember. His name was Robert Todd. He was a brown skin Negro.
I'd advise you for your own sake, and the sake of your family, who would mourn your ontimely decese, to drink from that spring at once." "But," sez Josiah, with a agonized and hopeless look, "I can't drink no more now." "Why?" sez the man. "Because I don't hold any more. I don't hold but two quarts, and I have drinked 11 tumblers full now." "Eleven glasses of that poison?" sez the man.
Wall, I watched that young chap, and watched him close, and I see there wuz one thing about him that could be depended on, he wuz truthful. He seemed almost morbid on the subject, and would dispute himself half a hour, to get a thing or a story he wuz tellin' jest exactly right. But he drinked; that I know for I know the symptoms.
Some folks says rum is wrong. Hit ain't. I'll tell ye why. Last night I drinked up my lastest bottle o' that Hundson's Bay rum. Hit war right good rum, an ez I lay lookin' up at the stars, all ter oncet hit come ter me that I was jest exactly, no more an' no less, jest ter the ha'r, ez drunk I was on the leetle spree with Kit at Laramie. Warn't that fine? An' warn't hit useful?
Tom's drinked agin, and feels kind o' righter than he did kind o' first best! You'd best all drink, boys the spring's handy, close by here; and after we gits down acrost the road into the big swamp, and Hell-Hole, there arn't a drop o' water fit to drink, till we gits way down to Aunt Sally's big spring-hole, jest to home."
