"I think 'twas on the long stretch of the Trumet road that we beat Tobias. I know we passed somethin' then, though just what I ain't competent to testify. All I'm sure of is that, t'other side of Bayport village, the landscape got some less streaked and you could most gen'rally separate one house from the next. "Bradbury looked at Henrietta and smiled, a sort of sickly smile.
Gen'rally her words are broken-like an' wild, an' I pays no heed to 'em; but tonight she talked wonderful clear, all about India at first, an' of a band playin', with sogers marchin' past. Then she spoke about some people called coolies. There was a lot about them, in lines an' tea gardens. An' she seemed to be speakin' to another Mrs. Fenley."
"I mean you want to have the water bilin' hot when you put him in," he explained. "Wait till she biles up good and then souse him; see?" "I guess so. How do you know when he's done?" "Oh er I can't tell you. You'll have to trust to your instinct, I cal'late. When he looks done, he IS done, most gen'rally speakin'." "Dear me! how clear you make it.
I'm proper hungry didn't have much of a dinner today." "I believe you half starve yourself most of the time down at that light," said Mrs. Doctor Dave severely. "You won't take the trouble to get up a decent meal." "Oh, I do, Mistress Doctor, I do," protested Captain Jim. "Why, I live like a king gen'rally. Last night I was up to the Glen and took home two pounds of steak.
I think myself, gen'rally speakin', 't is just as well to let anybody know you're comin'." "Them seemed to be Mis' Cap'n Timms's views," said Miss Pickett in a low tone; but the stage rattled a good deal, and Mrs. Flagg looked up inquiringly, as if she had not heard.
I don't know what time you go to bed here, but I may be a little late getting back." She fumbled in her pocket and produced a purse, from which she extricated the required article. "I'm not gen'rally in bed not much before midnight, sir," she said. "If you should be later per'aps you'd be kind enough to turn out the gas in the 'all. I'll send you up some 'ot water by the girl."
Sometimes, as in the weather-bureau foolishness, the disease left him and t'other two patients meanin' me and Cap'n Jonadab pretty weak in the courage, and wasted in the pocketbook; but gen'rally they turned out good, and our systems and bank accounts was more healthy than normal.
"Now, 'twas the talk pretty gen'rally that the cap'n had had a hand in that business himself in his early days, and that it set uncomfortable on him afterwards. It never was known how he'd got his money. He didn't have any to begin with. He was always a kind of a lone bird and dug his way along up somehow. Nobody knows what was workin' on him while he sot there; he looked awful sick.
"Oh, it just sort of drifted around. I've got pretty big ears maybe you've noticed 'em and they gen'rally catch some of what's blowin' past. There was a coachman mixed up in that night's work and he talked some, I shouldn't wonder; most of his kind do." "Well, what of it?" I asked, sharply. "I helped her as I would your daughter if she had been caught alone in a storm like that.
The word passed through the island, and a great stir it made among all us Daggetts. There's plenty of our Vineyard people wandering about the 'arth, and sometimes one drops in upon the island, just to die.
