But it's a matter as he doesn't like to be spoke to about, and I can only pray to the Lord to bless and direct him." "Aye, thee't allays ready enough at prayin', but I donna see as thee gets much wi' thy prayin'. Thee wotna get double earnin's o' this side Yule. Th' Methodies 'll niver make thee half the man thy brother is, for all they're a-makin' a preacher on thee."
Austell, an' while we're there you shall do up Geake's notes in an envelope with a note sayin' your compliments, but on second thoughts you couldn't think o' takin' his money." Bricknell's face fell somewhat. "You gowk! You'll have twenty-five pound' o' mine in exchange: solid money, an' my own earnin's. I've more 'n that in my pocket here." "But I don't see why you should want to give me money."
She wouldn't be contented now same's she was before she went, and I should get wuss and wuss if I was waited on stiddy. 'No! says I to every one, 'let me be and let her be. She's free to come, and she's puttin' by her good earnin's.
'Father, I shall have to give Mrs. Tubbs the five shillings for a few weeks. She's going to let me have a new dress. 'Your earnin's is your own, Clara. 'Yes; but I hope very soon to be able to give you something. It's hard for you, having no work. John brightened wonderfully. 'Don't you trouble, my dear. That's all right. Things'll come round somehow. You're a good girl.
"I ain't goin' to stan' by an' see you givin' twice as much for eggs as they're worth 'cause it's a gal you're tradin' with. That wa'n't never my way of doin' business, an' I ain't goin' to have it done in my store. I shouldn't have laid up a cent if I'd managed any such ways, an' I ain't goin' to see my hard earnin's wasted by you.
You was with Mis' Farrington's folks; wasn't you, she that was Theodora McAlister?" "Yes." "She does a good deal of writin', I hear. Does she get much out of it?" Phebe hesitated, assailed by doubts as to how large a story Mrs. Richardson would swallow, and her hostess swept on, "She's spreadin' herself a good deal, and it can't all be her earnin's. Do you take after her?"
Such a beautiful hand he wrote! When he was barely turned sixteen they gave 'en a place in Gregory's Bank Wilkins an' Gregory it was in those aged times. He still lived home wi' his mother, rentin' a room extra out of his earnin's, and turnin' one of the bedrooms into a parlour. That's the very room you're lookin' at.
"Miss Daisy won't never do everything for herself?" "Yes, I must," I said. "All the girls do." "I'd hire out then, Miss Daisy, while you don't want me I'd be right smart and I'd bring all my earnin's to you regular. 'Deed I will! Till Miss Daisy want me herself." I felt my cheeks flush. She would bring her earnings to me. Yes, that was what we were doing.
They oughta be a state law against lettin' such animals exist. No wonder Chavon's that land poor he's had to sink all his clay-pit earnin's into taxes an' interest. He can't make his land pay. Take this hundred an forty. Anybody with the savve can just rake silver dollars offen it. I'll show 'm." They passed the big adobe barn in the distance.
'I know, says she, 'the law gives you the right to your wives' earnin's and everything they've got, down to the clothes on their backs; and I've always said there was some Kentucky law that was made for the express purpose of encouragin' men in their natural meanness, a p'int in which the Lord knows they don't need no encouragin'. There's some men, says she, 'that'll sneak behind the 'Postle Paul when they're plannin' any meanness against their wives, and some that runs to the law, and you're one of the law kind.
