"Yes, but they are not very young or attractive, poor things," replied Elizabeth "heavy, podgy sort of girls, but very kind-hearted. By the bye, Die, I wonder if Cedric will come across the Godfreys, they are somewhere in the neighbourhood."
His list of forefathers ascended so high, that they were lost in the barbarous ages of Galwegian independence; so that his genealogical tree, besides the Christian and crusading names of Godfreys, and Gilberts, and Dennises, and Rolands, without end, bore heathen fruit of yet darker ages, Arths, and Knarths, and Donagilds, and Hanlons.
A healthy note, by Godfreys, ain't it now!" "A healthy note," or words to that effect, was exactly what it was; Martha and Lulie were in thorough accord with Zach as to that. Galusha did not say very much. He rubbed his chin a good deal and when, after Bloomer had departed, Lulie came close to breaking down and crying, he still was silent, although nervous and evidently much disturbed.
Five cold winter days and nights came and passed, yet no relief came to the imprisoned family. They dare not move out, fearing the Indians would see them and come at night and murder them. The sixth day Crabtree, who lived some miles distant from where the Godfreys had resided, having heard of the attack of the savages and the destruction they had caused, made his way to the scene of the ruins.
And three years ago the Akrae Company sold its lease, sold out completely to the Para people, for seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars." "Godfreys mighty! Well," after a moment, "that's what I'd call a middlin' fair profit on a twenty thousand dollar investment not to mention the dividends."
A hand crank to make the fourth highest-power foghorn on the coast blow! I lost my patience. 'No ma'am, says I, 'a crank ain't necessary. I just put my mouth to the touch-hole, I says, 'and breathe natural and she chirrups. She believed it, too. I cal'late I'll catch thunder from Cap'n Jeth if he finds out what I told her, but I can't help it; there's limits, by Godfreys domino, limits!"
"Godfreys mighty! so be I. But she says she b'lieves she needs a change and there's church conference up there, you know, and she figgers that she ain't been to conference she don't know when. I s'pose you'll go, won't you, Mr. Ellery?" "Probably." "Um hm. I kind of wisht I was goin' myself. 'Twill be kind of lonesome round home without her."
Say, by godfreys mighty, I'd get down on my knees and thank you this minute if if I wa'n't in such a hurry. Come right on; come quick!"
Comin' to live at our HOUSE, mind you, with her and with ME! ''Twill be so nice for you, 'Bishy dear, she says, 'to have a man in the house to keep you comp'ny and look out for you when I ain't round. Godfreys mighty!" This portion of Kyan's disclosure was surprising, if the announcement of his sister's engagement was not. "Mr. Pratt is coming to Trumet?" the minister repeated. "What for?
"He can't say it wasn't delivered this time according to promise." "Godfreys!" snorted Issy, gazing after the departing wagon. "He won't be able to say nothin' when he sees that git-up and smells it. Ves carts everything in that cart from dead cows to gurry barrels. Whew! I'd hate to have to set on that porch when 'twas built of that lumber.
