"Thirty-one!" exclaimed Mrs. Burton, after counting the heap. "How complimentary!" "What doesh you do for little boys on your bifeday?" asked Toddie, after breakfast was served. "Mamma does lots of fings." "Yes," said Budge, "she says she thinks people ought to get their own happy by makin' other people happy. An' mamma knows better than you, you know, 'cause she's been married longest."
Only he's pretty big, and I'm afraid he'd be lonely without me. Don't you like the fings, Katy? They're real pretty!" It seemed to Katy as if the hottest sort of a coal of fire was burning into the top of her head as she looked at the treasures on the chair, and then at Elsie's face all lighted up with affectionate self-sacrifice.
I'll give you five shillings for it. You're not going to be fool enough to refuse an offer like that?" "I ain't goin' to be fool enough to refuse it nor yet I ain't goin' to be fool enough to take it, 'cause I'm only 'ere to see as nobody don't come in and sneak fings. I ain't got no authority to sell anyfink, and I don't know the proice o' nuffink, so there you 'ave it."
"An' you might take fings to eat wif you," suggested Toddie, "an' when you got real tired and felt bad, you might stop and have a little picnic. I fink that would be dzust the fing for a man wif the toothache. And we could help you lotsh." "I'll see how I feel after dinner," said Mr. Burton. "But what are you going to do for me between now and then, to make me feel better?"
Thomas shook his head and said, "Nope." "Did you find it?" I asked. He nodded. "I always find fings," he said. Beyond that I could get nothing out of him. I have not often sat out with a more embarrassing partner. To be continually stared at and never spoken to would, I think, make the boldest woman shy. There was a stolidity about Thomas that promised well for England's future.
I use my inflooence fer bofe ob 'em yah, yah, yah-r-r! an' hit did look lak I's gwine ter balernce fings up tell I 'lee' 'em bofe ter oncet right dar! Bofe of 'em got de nomination yah, yah, yah-r-r! But I say 'rah fo' little Miss Phyllis! She de one 'at know how to pull de right string yah, yah, yah-r-r!" The wedding at Sommerton Place came on the Wednesday following the fall election.
"Yes, massa, we all put fings on, but we much sooner play cricket widdout." "Nonsense," shouted back the Model Man. "Cricket is a civilised game, and must be followed in a civilised way, or not at all. We will be on the ground at ten o'clock." The messenger rowed off, and a great discussion began as to the constitution of our team.
I arsked 'im wot they did, an' 'e says, 'Make boats an' fings, with now an' agin a little flurry in shippin' ter break the monotony.... Anyway, I traced the devil wot nearly got you, Guv'nor, and that's somefing. And if I don't give 'im a taste of the 'appy 'ereafter, well, my name's not Dollops." Cleek laughed and laid a hand upon the lad's shoulder.
"Does he know Oonomoo?" "Certainly; he has known him for several years." "Well, den, dey will come together, and dey'll fix up fings so dat dey will got you out of dis place afore long." "I hope so; I hope so. Death would not be more terrible than the suffering I undergo here, especially at night. Oh! will you not stay by me?" asked the prisoner, the tears starting to her eyes.
"You could if you'd wanted to, I live in ve brown house, and I've seen you lots of times. Once you 'most stepped on me." "Did I? How did that happen?" "You were finking of fings and got in my way." "Was that it?" "Vat's what my papa says, when I do it. He says I ought to look where I am going." The boy's tone was severe. There was a pause, while Mac swung his hoop against a post.
