"Well, he's in the devil of a rage just now, to judge by the look of him, an' the way he was smackin' his leg with an ash-plant as he went by." "Was he now?" 'Bias considered for a moment. "You may depend he took advantage, not expectin' either of us to turn up to-day. . . . I shouldn't wonder if the maid properly scared him with news we were here."
You ain't done nothin'. But you're goin' to do somethin' talk!" Simmy's pale tongue swept across working lips. "What ... you want wantta ... know?" he stuttered. "You expectin' to meet some friends heah?" "Th' rest o' the boys an' th' cap'n; they may be ketchin' up." "How many 'boys'?" Simmy's tongue tripped again. He swallowed. Drew thought he was trying to produce a crumb of defiance.
"You go to work on your estimates, order your material, hire your men. I'll see how bad the people in the basin want the water they've been expectin'."
The wagon-maker hung by one careless leg to his horse before cantering off, and inquired with neighborly interest: "How far West you folks goin'?" "We're goin' to Illinois," replied Grandma Padgett. "Oh, pshaw, now!" said the wagon-maker. "Goin' to the Eeleenoy! that's a good ways. Ain't you 'fraid you'll never git back?" "We ain't expectin' to come back," said Grandma Padgett.
And sez I, "I will faithfully follow at your side, and together we will bask in the rays of beauty, together will we be lifted up and inspired by the immortal spirit of loveliness." So payin' our 30 cents we advanced up the steps, I expectin' soon to be made happy, and Josiah held up by the expectation of soon havin' his eyes blest by that vision of enchantin' beauty, he had so long dremp of.
The boy pursed his lips. "Wall, no," he exclaimed at last, nonchalantly. "No-o-o! I can't say's it was. We'd both been expectin' it, I reckon. Old Tom, he often sed he knew that some day he'd go and git just blind, stavin' drunk enough to try an' swim the upper rapids and two weeks ago he done so!" And the rest of the words were quite casual.
"Och tub-be sure, not at all," he would answer cheerfully, "I wouldn't look to there bein' e'er a one sooner than to-morra. I hadn't the notion of expectin' a letter whatever. 'Twas just for the enjoyment of the bit of a walk I went." "Why tub-be sure it was. But be comin' in, man, for you're fit to dhrop, and be gettin' your ould brogues dhried.
"They've stopped," whispered the Ring Tailed Panther, joyously. "After all they're not goin' to run away an' they will give us a fight. They are expectin' reinforcements of course, or they wouldn't make a stand." "But we must see what kind of a position they have taken up," said Obed.
Sherman's promenadin' through it just as it suits him, and he's liable to pay a visit at any hour. We're expectin' him all the time, because it was generally understood all through the Army that we were to take the prison pen here in on our way." I mentioned my distrust of the concentration of Rebels at Cheraw, and their faces took on a look of supreme disdain.
Do you know Charlotte ain't never wore that handsome mantilla she had when she was expectin' to marry Barney?" "Ain't she?" "No, she ain't, nor her silk gown neither. I said all I darsed to. I thought mebbe she or Sarah would offer; they both of 'em know how hard it is to get anything out of Silas; but they didn't, an' I wa'n't goin' to ask, nohow.
