I reckon they knowed you's a gonter be the belle er the ball wheresomever it air an' that's the reason they done brung you a spechul invite." The old men of the town met on the Rye House porch after supper that night to report progress. "Everything's goin' fine," was the general report. "Not an out-and-out refusal yet." "Came mighty near not getting Miss Judith," said Colonel Crutcher.
She's not the kind to be hunting slights, but suppose we send it to her anonymous like and pretend her fairy godmother had something to do with it," suggested Pete. "And who's gonter buy it? We don't want any of the Ryeville women in on this," said Colonel Crutcher. "I got another idee," said Pete. "Let's get the motormen to get their wives down at the other end to shop for us.
"Hi, Miss Judy!" they called from the buggy. "Hi, yourself!" she cried, appearing around the side of the house with floury hands and flushed face. "We're gonter give a ball and we want to ask you to come to it," said the Colonel. "It is to be this Friday night coming." "Oh, I wish I could, but you know I never leave my mother at night. You see, she is all alone."
An naow, ye've got tew be cap'n, whether or no." "Well," said Perez, "If I can do anything for you, I will. We're all in the same boat, I suppose. But if I'm captain, you two must be lieutenants." "Yes, we're a gonter be," replied Abner. "Ye kin depend on us in a scrimmage, but ye muss sass the silk stockins."
One twilight as Perez was cutting wood for the evening fire, the young man came into the back yard and opened conversation in this wise: "Guess it's gonter rain." "Looks a little like it," Perez assented. Obadiah was silent a space, and ground the heel of his bare foot into the dirt. "D'you know what's good fer warts?" he finally asked. Perez said he did not.
Even as she spoke there were confused cries, heavy falls, and a rush in the hall, and instantly the room was filled with men, their faces flushed with excitement and drink. The guard had been overpowered. "Whar's that paper?" "Hain't they signed?" "We'll make ye sign, dum quick." "We're a gonter tie ye up an give it to ye on the bare back." "We'll give ye a dose o' yer own med'cin."
What a bulwhinger was Polly did not know but it was a pretty good name for Dink. "I just hope I ain't ever gonter see her again. I ain't scairt of her anymore though. Are you, Polly?" "I ain't 'zactly but I hope she's gone for good " The word froze on Polly's lips. She threw her arm around Peter as though to protect him. Coming along the garden path was none other than the dreaded Dink.
"Hi, what you so nimble-come-trimble 'bout this mawnin'?" asked Aunt Em'ly, as she met Billy laden with baggage, sneaking out the back way, planning to load his coach before hitching up. "Miss Ann an' me is done got a invite ter a house pawty an' we air gonter hit the pike in the cool er the mawnin'." "Wha' you goin'?" "Heaben when we die," was all Billy would divulge.
"I'll be so good to you and love you as though I were your own mother. You can have a pony to ride and a bicycle and skates " "Gee whilikins!" exclaimed Peter. "I will adopt you " "'Dopt me! No you won't! I didn't know you meant to 'dopt me. Me'n Polly ain't ever gonter git 'dopted. We's gonter jes' live along here till we gits growed up an' maybe our mother won't be dead an' will come find us.
"I reckoned he wuz a gonter lay hans ontew him." "Ef he had, by jimmeny, I b'leeve Cap'n would a hit him a crack ez would a knocked him inter the middle o' nex week," said Meshech. "Oh, gosh, I ony wisht he hed," cried Obadiah, quite carried away at the wild thought of the mighty Squire rolling on the grass with a bloody nose.
