"He wadna gie a bodle to save us frae famishing," said Hobbie; "and, if he did, the bread that I bought wi't would stick in my throat, when I thought it was part of the price of puir auld Scotland's crown and independence." "There's the Laird o' Dunder, ane o' the auldest families in Tiviotdale."
"Merciful goodness!" cried Frank, in pretended horror, as he hovered over Hans, also taking care to cling to his nose. "The whole top of his head is shot away!" The Dutch boy gave a wild, despairing wail. "Und you said dot feller vos goin' to run avay! Dunder und blitsens! I vos a fool dot I don'd run avay meinseluf pefore mein prains he shot oudt!" "Never mind," said Frank.
"Yaw," said Hans, with a lazy yawn, "I pet me your life some folks peen plame fools enough to peen sdirring to-nighd. Dot makes me dired. Vy in dunder don'd dey gid in dere peds und sday dere, ain'd id?" "Oh, some people don't know enough for that," said Ned Gray. "And then there are people who are afraid to go to bed at this season of the year." "Vot vos dot? Afrait uf vot?" "Centipedes."
A more extensive acquaintance with the ocean, has shown that this appearance is not unique; a similar one on the coast of Patagonia, has more than once deceived both French and English navigators; and rock Dunder, in the West Indies, bears a resemblance, at a distance equally illusive.
As I am a true catholic except that it is six times as big 'tis a nose, said the centinel, like my own. I heard it crackle, said the drummer. By dunder, said the centinel, I saw it bleed. What a pity, cried the bandy-legg'd drummer, we did not both touch it!
She glanced up at him now, smiling faintly. "My, I was scared!" She stepped away from him a little very little. "Aw, he wouldn't hurt a flea." But Bella looked over her shoulders fearfully to where Dunder stood by the roadside, regarding Ben with a look of uncertainty. He still thought that perhaps this was a new game.
"Is her husband, that rascally Ferrington, living?" Oonomoo replied that he was. "And is their baby, too?" "Yes, they have two pappooses." "Dunder and blixen!" exclaimed Hans Vanderbum, and then resuming the English language, or rather his version of it, he added: "Dat gal wanted to marry mit me once." "Why no marry den?" inquired Oonomoo, also coming back to the more difficult language.
He felt his face redden as they approached each other. To hide his embarrassment he swung his little hickory switch gaily and called to his dog Dunder, who was nosing about by the roadside. Dunder bounded forward, spied the newcomer, and leaped toward her playfully and with natural canine curiosity. Bella screamed. She screamed and ran to Ben and clung to him, clasping her hands about his arm.
"Dunder and blitzen;" thought Watson. "If I only knew more of Kentucky geography I might get myself out of this scrape." "We come from the southeastern part of the county," said Macgreggor, after an awkward pause. "Near what town?" Another pause. Oh, for the name of a town in the southeastern part of Fleming County, Kentucky. The Major was looking at the visitors curiously.
She arose, stepping cautiously and carefully, and when she found herself in the open air once more, with the cool night-wind blowing upon her fevered cheek, she almost fainted from excessive emotion. "Come, now, walks right behind me, and if you sees dunder and blixen! dere comes an Injin!"
