From his slow, stooping poke of the sulky fire the old Butler glanced up with a certain plaintive intentness. "All dogs is too many," he affirmed. "Come Christmas time I wishes I was dead." "Wish you were dead ... at Christmas Time?" cried Flame. Acute shock was in her protest. "It's the feedin'," sighed the old Butler.
Gentlemen, said he, I will begin the sale by putting up Jerry Oaks, of Apple River, he's a considerable of a smart man yet, and can do many little chores besides feedin the children and pigs, I guess he's near about worth his keep.
Then I lit out for the barn, and after feedin', I come back and tuck my pen and ink out on the porch, and jest cut loose. I writ and writ till my fingers was that cramped I couldn't hardly let go of the penholder. And the poem I send you is the upshot of it all. Ef you don't find it cheerful enough fer your columns, I'll have to knock under, that's all!"
And, say, anyone would think, from some of the papers, that we was all a bunch of crooks down here, spendin' our time feedin' wads of hundred-dollar bills to the yellow dog. Maybe it don't stir up Mr. Robert some thorough, though! "Why," I heard him say to the old man, "it's a beastly outrage, that's what it is! All the fellows at the club are chaffing me about it, you know.
The little one clingin' to its mother's hand and feedin' the chickens looked cute enough to kiss. She favored Babe a good deal in her looks. "The Cemetery in Delmatia" and the "Market Scene in Cairo," by Leopold Muller, struck hard blows onto my fancy. And so did three by Madame Weisenger "Mornin' by the Sea-shore," "Breakfast in the Country," and "The Laundress of the Mountain."
So so, I'll cut out the wash-trough." "You most generally do," said Toby pleasantly. "You ain't comic 'cep' when you're feedin'," retorted Sunny, nettled. Then he turned to Minky, just as the doorway of the store was darkened by the advent of Sandy Joyce. But he glanced back in the newcomer's direction and nodded. Then he went on immediately with his talk.
We've been feedin' it out ever since some time this side o' the middle o' November I never see nothin' sweeter, and I don't want to see nothin' sweeter than it is! and the cattle eats it liked May roses they don't know how to thank you enough for it." "To thank you, Mr. Douglass," said Fleda, smiling.
As soon as 'twas dark, I picked up the rifle, and, kind er slowly, made my way down ter where their critters was feedin', and picked out the best hoss of the lot, put a saddle on him, and started down the river towards the fort at Phantom Hill. 'Twas a good hundred miles away; but I made up my mind I'd fetch it, if nothin' happened.
What with Bankers, Councillors, Judges, Bishops and Public Officers, and a whole tribe of Lawyers as hungry as hawks, and jist about as marciful, the country is devoured as if there was a flock of locusts a feedin on it. There's nothin left for roads and bridges. When a chap sets out to canvass, he's got to antagonise one side or tother.
I'm considerable sharp set. It must be gettin' tolerable late now. It wanted a quarter to six. 'My! sakes, sais I, 'five hours and a quarter yet afore feedin' time; well if that don't pass.
