Ah' now, Miss Anthea mam, seeing you're that rich wi' Master Georgy's fortun', why you can pay back for the furnitur' if so be you're minded to. An' I hope as you agree wi' me as I done it all for the best, Miss Anthea?" Here, Adam unscrewed his hat, and knocked out the wrinkles against his knee, which done, he glanced at Anthea: "Why what is it, Miss Anthea?"
"Sorry to disturb you, Ma'am, especially as Mr. Sandford isn't at home; but duty is duty, and must be 'tended to. My orders is, to 'tach the furnitur', and stay till I git a receipter." Mrs. Sandford's reply was inaudible. The voice proceeded: "Can't help it, Ma'am. Won't be back to-night, won't he? Bad, cert'in. But duty is duty, as I said afore.
"Squire didn't ask no more, for there was too much to do getting out your moother, lad, and trying to save the furnitur, 'sides throwing watter on the fire. "Bud, theer, it warn't no use. Plaace burned like a bit o' paaper, and we could do nowt bud save the best o' the things." "Did you save the clock?" asked Dick.
He hasn't broke no cups or sassers, or furnitur of any kind. He eats his wittles with a knife and a fork. People of this kind should be encurridged. I purpose 'is 'elth!" What could I do but modestly get up and express a fervint hope that the Atlantic Cable would bind the two countries still more closely together?
The furnitur in this house is mine; and as I presume you intend your lady to sleep in the streets, I give you warning that I shall remove it all tomorrow. "Mr. Smithers will tell you that I had intended to leave you my intire fortune. I have this morning, in his presents, solamly toar up my will; and hereby renounce all connection with you and your beggarly family.
I Set out early with the Chief and 2 young men to hunt Some trees Calculated to build Canoes, as we had previously deturmined to proceed on by water, I was furnished with a horse and we proceeded on down the river Crossed a Creek at 1 mile from the right verry rockey which I call rock dam Creek & Passed down on the N side of the river to a fork from the North which is about the Same Size and affords about the Same quantity of water with the other forks we halted about an hour, one of the young men took his guilt and killed 6 fine Salmon two of them were roasted and we eate, two Canoes Came up loaded with the furnitur & provisions of 2 families, those Canoes are long Stedy and without much rake I crossed the South fork and proceeded up on the South Side, the most of the way thro a narrow Pine bottom in which I Saw fine timber for Canoes one of the Indian Canoes with 2 men with Poles Set out from the forks at the Same time I did and arrived at our Camp on the Island within 15 minits of the Same time I did, not withstanding 3 rapids which they had to draw the Canoe thro in the distance, when I arrived at Camp found Capt Lewis verry Sick, Several men also verry Sick, I gave Some Salts & Tarter emetic, we deturmined to go to where the best timbr was and there form a Camp
"Padre! who'd believe a Mexican priest? Mr. Jones, that tame beaver of your'n must have been born in the States, where he hadn't trees and mud to build dams with, and had to resort to furnitur." "That beaver," responded Jones, "was as near like a human bein' as any man present." "How do you make that out, Mr. Jones?" "Why, one day his master died.
"Ah! but it weren't no good, sir," returned Adam, "because she sez as 'ow your 'ome being in America, you couldn't really need the furnitur', nor yet want the furnitur', an' blest if she wasn't talkin' of handing you the money back again." "Hum!" said Bellew.
We may come an' go as we like, at all hours o' the day and night, an' do exactly as we please, so long as we don't smash up the furnitur', or feed without payin', or make ourselves a gineral noosance. They don't even forbid swearin'. They say they leave the matter o' lingo to our own good taste and good sense.
Fill your pipe, and, while you smoke, confide your cares to me, put me wise, or, as your French cousins would say, make me 'au fait." "Well," began Adam, when his pipe was well alight, "in the first place, Mr. Belloo sir, I begs to remind you, as Miss Anthea sold her furnitur' to raise enough money as with what the 'ops will bring, might go to pay off the mortgage, for good an' all, sir." "Yes."
