Then how we all fly round! Mother sends Helen up into the attic to get a squash while Mary's makin' the pie-crust.
Ye was just out huntin' flies, wasn't ye, Frederick? Don't never stay long or ye'll git hit with a spear. Ezry Longman don't like ye nuther, 'cause I kisses ye, and 'cause, on my birthday, I hit his mug with a dishrag when he was tryin' to kiss me fifteen times, and was askin' me to marry him. I'd rather kiss " Her sentence remained unfinished.
He was just like that yesterday, and he didn't even say a word to me when he left. Oh, I wish that I could think of some way to help him." "Who are the other scouts?" Miss Arabella asked. "Well, there's Jimmy Perkins. He's corporal, and " "Old Ezry Perkins' son, eh? I guess I know his pa, a mean old skinflint, if ever there was one.

If 'twas the skipper I shouldn't wonder if she'd have knocked him down after she got over the surprise of his darin' to do such, a thing. She had HIM trained, I tell ye!" "Miss Colton thinks me rather a bully, I am afraid," I said. "I did order her about rather roughly." Mr. Atwood burst into a laugh. "That Ezry Jones woman was the skipper's wife," he declared.
I never asked nobody what they wished aboard the Ezry H. Jones." "And do they tell them to 'sit down and keep still'?" "Gen'rally they tell 'em to get up and keep movin'. If they don't they start 'em pretty lively with a rope's end." "I see. Even when they are ladies?" "Ladies? Godfreys! we never had but one woman aboard the Ezry.
"I dunno but yew be right," said Abner, thoughtfully, "I never thort on't ezzackly that way," and Isaiah Goodrich also expressed the opinion that there was "somethin into what Ezry says."

I tried to git the floor, but Ezry Graves " "Confound Ezra Graves, and wait till I have done, can't you," interrupted the first citizen, angrily. "What do you mean by putting a bath-tub into my house with the tin loose, so that I cut my leg on it?"
Come along. Glad ter see ye." "Are you Mr. Pollard?" His surprise not only marked the tones of his voice but the expression of his face. "No, jes' Ezry Pollard, that's all. Hope Mr. Slade's up and hearty?" Mr. Slade was never so "up and hearty" as was Oliver that next morning. Up with the sun he was, and hearty as a young buck out of a bed of mountain-moss.
"I guess like's not ye hev the rights on't, Ezry. I wuzn't a thinkin on't that air way, ezzactly. I wuz a thinkin that if govment paid one kine o' debts 't orter pay t'other kine.
