He wouldn't shake hands with me! Sam told me he was going, and I gave him some money well! why do you look at me like that? Gad-a-mercy, ain't he my grandson? Besides, since our love-feast, ain't it my duty to help his father along? I've had a change of heart," he said, grinning; "where's your joy over the one sinner that repenteth? I'm helping young Sam, so that old Sam may get some sense.
"Gad-a-mercy, Master Tony Fire-the-Fagot!" said Lambourne, by way of reply. Foster scowled darkly at him, as he replied, "Hark ye, friend Mike; forget that name, and the passage which it relates to, if you would not have our newly-revived comradeship die a sudden and a violent death."
Gad-a-mercy! niggers have no sense." Simmons came stumbling in, the whites of his yellow eyes gleaming with excitement. While he was fumbling over the lamps, his lean brown fingers all thumbs, Benjamin Wright insisted upon filling Dr. Lavendar's tumbler with whiskey until it overflowed and had to be sopped up by the old minister's red bandanna. As soon as Simmons could get out of the room, Dr.
Come and have some supper. Didn't I tell you you might have to try a dozen publishers before you found one who had any sense? Your experience just shows they're a fool lot. And you tore up your manuscript! Gad-a-mercy!" He grinned and swore alternately, and banged his hat on to his head so that his ears flattened out beneath the brim like two red flaps.
"Oh, madam, you are too kind, I am sure you know what I mean; it is your excessive kindness that permits the visits of a foolish boy wearying, I am sure, to a lady so accustomed to the world. I will ask you to forbid those visits. Do you hear me?" he cried shrilly, pounding the gravel with his cane. "Gad-a-mercy! Do you hear me? You will forbid his visits!" "You are not very polite, Mr.
"Much Willy King has accomplished! It's just what I've always said; if you want a thing done, do it yourself. It's another case of these confounded canaries. If they are not to be eaten up by some devilish cat, I've got to sit out here and watch over 'em. If that boy is not to be injured, I've got to watch over him. My neighbor is going to help? Gad-a-mercy! Help!" Dr.
He comes up every day. Well, Lav-Lavendar, sometimes I think I was at fault?" "I know you were, Benjamin. Have you told him so?" "Gad-a-mercy! N-no!" snarled the other. "He would be too puffed up. Won't do to make young people v-vain." He "took notice," too, Simmons said, of the canaries; and he even rolled out, stammeringly, some of his favorite verses.
"Well;" he said, "got over your fool falling in love with a female old enough to be your mother?" Sam looked at him. "I hope your trip has put sense into you on that subject, anyhow?" "I love Mrs. Richie as much as I ever did, if that's what you mean, sir," Sam said listlessly. Upon which his grandfather flew into instant rage. "As much in love as ever! Gad-a-mercy!

"Gad-a-mercy," said Mr. Wright, in a whisper, "he doesn't understand!" He pulled himself on to his shaking legs, and laid his hand on the young man's shoulder.
