But, Colonel, I'll tell ye something: the Frenchies is etarnal afeard of the Long Knives. My God! they've got the notion that if you ketch 'em you'll burn and scalp 'em same as the Red Sticks." "Good," was all that Clark answered. "I reckon I don't know much about what the Rebels is fighting for," said John Duff; "but I like your looks, Colonel, and wharever you're going there'll be a fight.
At the same moment A came trotting out from his post, gun in hand; while at a thundering gallop, blaspheming awfully as he came on, and rating them for "know-nothins, and blunderin' etarnal spoil-sports," Tom rounded the farther hill, and spurred across the level.
The land in our far west, it is generally allowed, can't be no better; what you plant is sure to grow and yield well, and food is so cheap you can live there for half nothin'. But it don't agree with us New England folks; we don't enjoy good health there; and what in the world is the use of food, if you have such an etarnal dyspepsy you can't digest it?
Archer!" grunted poor Tom, in most piteous accents "them darned etarnal Teachmans they've murdered me right out! I'll never get over this ugh! ugh! ugh! Half drowned and smashed up the darndest! Now aint it an etarnal shame! Cuss them, if I doos n't sarve them out for it, my name's not Thomas Draw!" "Well, it is not," rejoined Harry, "who in the name of wonder ever called you Thomas?
"Well! there's all the difference between being an honest feller and a rascal!" muttered Atkinson, casting his eyes upon the fire, which he fell to studying for a moment with great earnestness. Then starting up hastily, and turning to the prisoner he exclaimed "There's not a better gal in the etarnal world!
"I don't know what she's stayin' with that feller Crewe for," the farmer remarked; of all the etarnal darn idiots why, Brush Bascom and that Botcher and the rest of 'em are trailin' him along and usin' him for the best thing that ever came down here. He sets up to be a practical man, and don't know as much as some of us hayseeds in the back seats. Where be you goin'?"
"Quit, Forester quit, I say quit, now consarn the hide on you" shouted the fat man, now in great tribulation, and apprehending a second edition of the tumble "quit foolin', or by h l I'll put a grist of shot, or one of they green cartridges into you stret away I will, by the Etarnal!" and as he spoke he dropped the muzzle of his gun, and put his thumb upon the cock.
Forester," he added, turning to me "it's first best cider sperrits better a darned sight than that Scotch stuff you make such an etarnal fuss about, toting it up here every time, as if we'd nothing fit to drink in the country!" And to my sorrow I did taste it old apple whiskey, with Lord knows how much snake-root soaked in it for five years!
She was lost with all hands in the gale o' that week lost on the Devil's Fingers an' all hands drunk! An' Jack Ruddy o' Helpful Harbour," she muttered, "went down along o' she. He was a bonnie lad," she added, tenderly, "an' he kissed me by stealth in the kitchen." Very sorrowfully she dreamed of that boisterous kiss. "But," she concluded, "'twas love that put Eliza Hare in th' etarnal fires."
An inn, to be a good consarn, must be built a purpose, you can no more make a good tavern out of a common dwelling house, I expect, than a good coat out of an old pair of trousers. They are etarnal lazy, you may depend now there might be a grand spec made there, in building a good inn and a good church." "What a sacrilegious and unnatural union," said I, with most unaffected surprise.
