Well, if I thought for a minute it'd be as dry I'd take a big drink and join the church, you can bet money on that. What's the matter have you got enough?"
"Who tawld her I ban't able to say, but she knawed he'd gone just arter feedin' the fowls, and she went down valley alone, so slow, wi' her purty head that bent it looked as if her sunbonnet might be hiding an auld gran'mother's poll." "She'll come round," said Martin; "she's only a young girl yet." "And there 's fish as good in the sea as ever came out, and better," declared his brother.
Leveson's place, and when I told 'em that there the sugar was weighed out, and the tea dispensed by the ounce, as if it was chemicals, and that please the Lord and anybody else that likes, they'd have better feedin' if they came along with me, they struck a bargain there and then.
"Then there's Miss Carewe" he went on "you haf'ter cal'clate on feedin' several wives in one, with her. But say eleven mo' by her. That's thirty-seven mo'." Joe jumped up. "Is she willin'?" "Done seen her," said Jud; "she say come on." "Hold on," said Travis with feigned anger. "Hold on. Joe is fixin' to start a cotton-mill of his own. That'll interfere with the Acme.

'tisn't all bad." said Ronypart eagerly. "There's th' Missin' Link, fer instance; he a glutton. Blime, th' food that Missin' Link gets makes me lose all patience, an' sometimes I'd like t' get right up from my chair, an' bite him. He's in the 'ospital just now, sufferin' from his over feedin'. It's a judgment on him." "A monkey in the hospital!" "Well, he ain't exactly a monkey.
Where'd you be if I hadn't found out about it, huh? Wouldn't you look nice feedin' other folks' cows on yore grass?" "Alla same, they wouldn't 'a' been Jack Harpe's cows." "Which is all you know about it. You never would take warning, and you know it. How about the time when Blakely was the 88 manager, and they were rustling yore cattle so fast it made a quarter-hoss racing full split look slow?"

To be sure, now that the scalpeens is sowld, there's no use in goin' to Fingal, and we may as well jist go home."
"Well, well," said the captain, "no wonder they looked so thin; and no wonder they're beginnin' to be a little better in flesh now, wi' the legs o' mutton an' chops an' such like things that I get in to take the edge off my appetite which, as you justly observe, Miss Ruth, is not a bad one.

Old Bob warned me, though, ez Steve, the tarrier, air a mighty thief an' deceivin' ginerally. Old Bob say he reckons my mother will spile the dog with feedin' him, an' kill out what little good he hev got lef' in him with kindness. But I tuk him, an' brung him home ennyhow. An' yander he is now, asleep on the chil'ren's bed!" A long pause ensued.
