The same powdered, liveried, lazy, idle, good-for-nothin', do-little, stand-in-the-way-of-each-other, useless sarvants. Same picturs, same plate, same fixin's, same don't-know-what-to-do-with-your-self-kinder-o'-lookin'-master. Great folks are like great folks, marchants like marchants, and so on. It's a pictur, it looks like life, but' it tante.
She's bound to Pensacola in ballast, or with just a few notions of hardware sent out as a venture, for a load of pine lumber to fill out a contract I've taken in New York. She can run into the St. Mark's and drop you jest as well as not. But you'll have to pick up and raft your fixin's down to Bangor in a terrible hurry, for she's going to sail next week, Wednesday, and it's Tuesday now."
"He never had no young uns of his own, and it mout be he uses 'em well. He's the high sheriff now." "I was countin' on gittin' to see 'em agin an buyin 'em some little Chrismus fixin's," the father wheezed. Hopelessness was coming into his rasping whisper. "I reckon it ain't no use to to be thinkin' of that there now?" "No 'arthly use at all," said Shem, with brutal directness.
"Now, if you'll reach into that box behind you and get the potatoes," he said, "I'll do the rest of the fixin's." He removed his hat, and taking down a big oil-cloth apron, checked red and black, tied it about his ample waist. He reached up and drew from behind the clock a pair of spectacles in steel bows. He adjusted them to his blue eyes with a little frown.
But here they were, and "Across the Ohio and we're safe, boys," quoth Simon. "Hooray! Didn't we come it over 'em proper?" The wind was blowing a gale, up-stream, and the Ohio was whipped into white-caps. It looked like a stormy passage. "You fellows tote our fixin's over on a raft; I'll swim with the hosses," bade the nimble Simon.
The girl followed his eye. "Dad's a mighty hunter afore the Lord." "What does he do with these skins?" "Trades 'em off for grub and fixin's. But he don't believe in trottin' round in the mud for gold." "Don't you suppose these animals would have preferred it if he had? Gold hunting takes nothing from anybody."
"Them sea-soaked, sun-dried biscuit was pretty mean prog, as you might think, but we eat so many of 'em that afternoon, an' 'cordingly drank so much water, that I was obliged to put us all on short rations the next day. `This is the day afore Christmas, says Andy Boyle, `an' to-night will be Christmas eve, an' it's pretty tough fur us to be sittin' here with not even so much hardtack as we want, an' all the time thinkin' that the hold of this ship is packed full of the gayest kind of good things to eat. `Shut up about Christmas! says Tom Simmons. `Them two youngsters of mine, up in Bangor, is havin' their toes and noses pretty nigh froze, I 'spect, but they'll hang up their stockin's all the same to-night, never thinkin' that their dad's bein' cooked alive on a empty stomach. `Of course they wouldn't hang 'em up, says I, if they knowed what a fix you was in, but they don't know it, an' what's the use of grumblin' at 'em fur bein' a little jolly? `Well, says Andy `they couldn't be more jollier than I'd be if I could git at some of them fancy fixin's down in the hold.
Furniture an' fixins, lemmee see! Wal, when it comes to buyin' fixin's, Mis' Panel beats the world. Put down ten thousand more. Total, please!" "Two hundred and fifteen thousand and one hundred dollars." "Make out yer personal note to me an' Mis' Panel fer that amount. One day after date. An' consideration.
I'm doin' her work every day, an' her dressin' an' pore little Sunday fixin's is all still a-hangin' on the wall. She wus the only gal " Washburn came back with the change.
"Surely you're not going to let Mr. Sutton have it for Dave Wheelock!" "Er Cynthy," said Jethro, slyly, "w-what'd you say to me once about interferin' with women's fixin's?" Cynthia saw the point. She perceived also that the mazes of politics were not to be understood by a young woman, of even by an old soldier. She laughed and seized Jethro's hands and pulled him from the bed.
