Walking up and down near the edge of the wood were Messrs. Clyde and Raybold. Phil smiled. "They don't seem to be happy," he said to himself. "I guess they're hankerin' to take a share in her edication; but if you don't know nothin' yourself, you can't edicate other people." Matlack directed his steps towards Mrs.
We went off to do her bidding, and left her muttering, "And what folks as can edicate their own children sends 'em all out of the house for, passes me; to come back looking like a damp handkerchief, with dear knows what cheap living and unwholesome ways, and want of native air." Cook's bark was worse than her bite.
They say Grand 'as promised 'er a fine 'ome in Washington and will edicate Christine abroad, besides offering enough diamonds to fill a 'at. But she just despises 'im more and more every week. He'll never get 'er no sirree! Why, she just couldn't do it! 'T ain't in 'er! "Early this season he lent Tom five or six thousand, and Tom can't pay it back, I know, business 'as been so bad.
I thought she was a poor child," exclaimed one woman, who was dreadfully disappointed to lose the anticipated object of charity. "So she is," cried another "as poor as Job's turkey, but Mr. King has dressed her up, you know, an' he's goin' to edicate her, too." "Well, she'll pay for it, I reckon. My! she looks smart, even the back of her!"
"I conceit it is a good deal in the breedin'," answered the trapper. "There be some that don't know good from evil in natur', leastwise, they don't seem to have any eyes to note the difference; and what isn't born in a man or a dog you can't edicate into him. The breedin' settles more p'ints that the missioners dream, as I jedge.
I've nothin' agin learnin', but 't a'n't the best use you can make on 't to plough it in. The only way to promote the agriculteral interests of Essex County, Sir, is to keep the farmers jest as they are. Greek 'n' Latin a'n't state-prison offences, but they're sure death to pork 'n' potaters. Minute you edicate the farmers they'll be as uneasy as a toad under a harrow.
Show me a rose that's as sweet and as well growed as that child, he says, 'and I'll give you my head, Minister. That's the way Daddy talks, you know, Imogen. And the minister asked him was he qualified to teach. 'Not yet, I ain't! says Daddy Captain, 'but I'm a-going to be. I want a book, or maybe a couple of books, that'll edicate me in a manner all round! he says.
But ef ye do ye be a wise dog to keep yer face steddy, for ef ye showed yer feelin's, old as ye be, I'd edicate ye with the help of a moccasin." And he looked at the old dog, whose face, as if he realized the peril of his position, bore an expression of supernatural gravity, with interrogative earnestness.
ELINOR. O, my child; you shall not take her away! If you valooed your child, you'd be right glad to have her go. She's got bad notions enough. We'll edicate her now. ELINOR. Lisa! Lisa! ELINOR is led off. EDITH. Where are you going to take me? EDITH. You shall not; I am Miss No, I will not tell him. I want to see what they would have done with Lisa. I can come away whenever I tell my name.
"There is but one Littlepage gal; if you saw them out this morning in the carriage, you saw two York gals and parson Warren's da'ghter with her." "Und dis parson Warren might be rich, too?" "Not he; he hasn't a sixpence on 'arth but what he gets from the parish. Why he is so poor his friends had to edicate his da'ghter, I have heern say, over and over!"
