Wi' the use o' my fingers I can do simple addition pretty well, an' I can screw round subtraction, but multiplication's a terrible business. Unfort'nitely my edication has carried me only the length o' the fourth line, an' that ain't enough." He paused, and the lively lizard, ready to fly at a moment's notice, put its head on one side as if interested in the man's difficulty.
Captain Carrington thanked Newton for his assistance, and acknowledged his error to the first lieutenant. The officers and men looked upon Newton with respect and increased good-will; and the sailors declared that the captain was a prime little fellow, although he hadn't had an "edication." Nothing worthy of remark occurred during the remainder of the passage.
My father and mother died afore I was old enough fur tu read, and I was bound tu a man that didn't gin me a big edication, I never seen a Bible in his house," "Then you don't know about Jesus Christ?" said Fanny, quite pitifully "Laws yes, I've heern ministers preach a leetle about him once in a while when I went to church fur tu go hum with Recta; but, somehow, I want much took up with him."
And John Bolderfield was three pounds poorer that quarter than he need have been all along of Saunders. And now Saunders was talking 'agen him' like this blast him! 'Oh, an then he went on' pursued Bessie with gusto 'about your bein too ignorant to put it in the post-office. Yer couldn't see more nor the length of your own nose he said it was edication you wanted.
But, after all, I don't see that having the misfortune to be born in a country should tie one to it in any sort of way; and I should have hoped your English edication, Colambre, would have given you too liberal idears for that so I reely don't see why you should go to Ireland merely because it's your native country."
"Well, as to unl'arnin', I suppose a fellow that had as little edication as myself will have an easy time of it," answered Betts, with perfect simplicity and good faith; "for most of my schoolin' was drowned in salt water by the time I was twelve." "I am glad of one thing," put in the governor, half in a congratulating way, and half inquiringly; "and that is, that the Rev. Mr.
This man you love rings true. He has learnin' and edication. I have nothin' but muscle and a quick eye. And that'll serve you and Alfred when you are in danger. I'm goin' now. Stand here till I'm out of sight." "Kiss me goodbye," whispered Betty. The hunter bent his head and kissed her on the brow. Then he turned and with a rapid step went along the bluff toward the west.
He's had a first-rate edication he don't talk about it, but one would be blind not to see that he will make his way wherever he goes, and I don't blame him for striking out from the river. He likes the river, too; but it ain't the place for making a fortin, unless you've got money at your back, as you have, boss.
I taught on the general system, all sorts of things in the edication way; and had one of my scholars made such a blunder as to say 'clark, or 'aingel, or 'harth, or 'cowcumber, he wouldn't have heard the last of it, for that week, at least. But I despise an Englishman from the very bottom of my soul; for heart isn't deep enough for my feelings."
You see, although my edication has not been neglected, it still remains a fact that I can't read without specs, that in cipherin' I am slow slow, though sure and that in the matter of penmanship I am neither swift nor legible.
