The climbing of the steep bluff was a struggle, but they accomplished it, and at length the stranger was seated in a chair in the kitchen. "Now, the fust thing," observed Seth, "is to get them wet clothes off you. Usually I'd have a good fire here, but that miserable Ezry has that is, my assistant's left me, and I have to go it alone, as you might say.
I'll tell you when I make up my mind. Time enough between now and spring. I Ah, Ezry, how be you? Come on in. Glad to see you." The last portion of the foregoing was addressed to a man who had entered the office. Mr. Cobb did look as if he was really glad to see him. Thankful rose. "I'll go," she said, drearily. "I suppose I might as well.
My man says the beasts are quiet enough, only playful, and I say the same; but I may be making a mistake. I went in the medder this morning, with my boy Ezry, and he could drive 'em anywheres, and he's only ten. Did they trouble your young folks, sir?" "Well, Dexter: you can answer that," said the doctor. "Trouble us? no!" said Dexter, laughing.
It was a powerful hot mornin', 'n' I wus mighty dry, 'n' I stopped fur a cool drink. She didn't come out when fust I hollered, 'n' when she did come, she looked kinder skeered 'n' wouldn't talk none. Kep' her sunbonnet over her face, like she didn't want to be seen overmuch." "What does she look like, Ezry?" asked one of the younger men. Mr. Stamps meditated a few seconds.
I don't know what got into 'em. They lost their senses, Mr. Worthington, plumb lost their senses. If you'd a b'en there, you might have brought 'em to. 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?"
"I were sure he done the shootin', but 'tweren't till Ezry swore he saw 'im that the lawyer could prove I didn't do it. But Tess says Myry loved Ben. Women air queer critters, ain't they?" "Myry sure was," assented Brewer, thoughtfully. "In spite of Ezry's tellin' her, Ben'd most drowned him, an' done the killin' they was goin' to hang you fer, up she gits an' takes the brat an' goes off with Ben.
She did not follow the fisherman's glance as he motioned her to take up the cloth. "I's a tellin' yer mammy to wipe yer old eye," she said pettishly. "I ain't got no notion of bein' an hones' woman ... I hates yer like I hates Ezry Longman." She wheeled to go out, but the man stayed her with a grunt.
But sence Ezry cleared out I've been a kind of human alarm clock, as you might say. Feelin' all right, are you?" "Yes, thank you. I say," holding up the pipe and regarding it respectfully, "is this tobacco of yours furnished by the government?" "No. Some I bought myself last time I was over to the Center. Why, what's the matter with it? Ain't it good?" "Perhaps so." "Then what made you ask?
'What kind of apples do you like best, Ezry? asks Laura, 'russets or greenin's or crow-eggs or bell-flowers or Baldwins or pippins? 'I like the Baldwins best, says I, ''coz they've got red cheeks jest like yours. 'Why, Ezry Thompson! how you talk! says Laura.
"Wal, Ezry," said Israel, after a pause, "I don' see but wat we've hed our trouble fer nothin, an I declar I dunno wat's gonter be did. The silk stockins be a tryin tew fetch back the ole times, an the people be a raisin Cain, an wat's a gonter come on't Goramity on'y knows. Come 'long, Ezry," and the two old men went sorrowfully away.
