Henry's got so far 'long now that he'd rather have his head in a book than be workin'. He don't take no interest in the stock, nor in the farm improvements. Everybody else is dependent in this world on the farmer, and I think that we've got too many eddicated fellows settin' 'round now for the farmers to support."
Then there's a history by Mister Parley, and a hull secretaryfull of books of all kinds. Oh, Sam's literary; there ain't no gittin' raound that. "Yaou might hear him speak of their son John? Wall, he was a chip o' the old block. He was as wild a yonker as they make 'em; but Sam never laid the whip on him; he argued with him and eddicated him on a literary principle.
He opened the door and entered, just in time to hear Shif'less Sol's cry of triumph: "Thar, Jim Hart, ef that don't settle you, I'd like to know what will! Now, who's doin' too much talkin'?" "I can't see jest how it happened," said Jim Hart ruefully. "No, an' you never will. Them things are too deep fur you. It's only eddicated men, like me an' Paul, that kin see to the bottom o' 'em."
They'll listen to you, because you're eddicated." "I don't know anything about politics," answered Wetherell, with an appealing glance at the silent group, group that was always there. Rias Richardson, who had donned the carpet slippers preparatory to tending store for the day, shuffled inside. Deacon Lysander, his father, would not have done so.
Shif'less Sol shook his head and sighed. "I can't truly call myself an eddicated man," he replied, "though I have the instincks o' one. But I ain't had the proper chance. No, Paul, me an' Alexander is strangers." "Then I'll make you acquainted," said Paul. He settled himself more comfortably before the fire, and the others did likewise. "Alexander lived a long, long time ago," said Paul.
"Something of the sort," replied Doggie cautiously. "One can always tell you eddicated blokes. Making your five quid a week easy, I suppose?" "About that," said Doggie. "What were you?" "I was making my thirty bob a week regular. I was in the fish business, I was. And now I'm serving my ruddy country at one and twopence a day. Funny life, ain't it?" "I can't say it's very enjoyable," said Doggie.
"I didn't know thar was one fer girls," said Amarilly. "I'm glad thar's a way fer me to git eddicated, fer I must hev larnin' afore I kin go on the stage. Mr. Vedder, the ticket-seller to Barlow's, told me so." "Amarilly," and an earnest note crept into the gay, young voice "you may find things that you will like to do more than to go on the stage."
"An artist," said Yan, wondering what this had to do with his dismissal. "Does an artist hev to be bang-up eddicated?" "They're all the better for it." "Av coorse, av coorse, that's what I tell Sam. It's eddication that counts. Does artists make much money?" "Yes, some of them. The successful ones sometimes make millions." "Millions? I guess not. Ain't you stretchin' it just a leetle?" "No, sir.
Whin he finds all them balls an' rainbows an' eddicated secrets, he forgets iverything else; he's contint wit 'his discovery. 'Tis th' wise head th' doctor has; an' Oi make no doobt he's th' real Jarados." The red-haired man went on to say that the professor knew of Chick's coming from the beginning.
"Yes," said the voice of Mrs M'Swat, "her hair is near to her knees, and a plait as thick as yer arm; and wen she writ a couple of letters in a minute, you could scarce see her hand move it was that wonderful quick; and she uses them big words wot you couldn't understand without bein' eddicated."
