Folks wuz settin' round of all sorts, some handsome, some humbly, some dressed up slick, some in rough common attire, but most on 'em looked like good sturdy farmers and their families. The old grand-ma of ninety with bent form and earnest face, side by side with her great grand-child. I myself with Josiah sot down by a large boneded woman with a big, calm, good-lookin' face.
Sez I, "It must be that we do have a good look to us, Josiah Allen, or else that perfect stranger wouldn't treat us as he has." "Perfect stranger!" sez Josiah. "Why, we have neighbored with him 'most a week. But," sez he, "you are right about our looks we are dum good-lookin', both on us. I am pretty lookin'," says he, firmly, "though you hain't willin' to own up to it."
I see a good-lookin' young chap a-comin' up the path from the front gate with my Josiah, and I hastily but firmly turned my apron the other side out I had been windin' some blue yarn that day for some socks for my Josiah, and had colored it a little it wuz a white apron and then I waited middlin' serene till he come in with him. And lo! and behold!
There had been a murmur, presumably of remonstrance, from Helen. "Eh?" Another murmur. "EH? WHO'D you say was there?" A third murmur. "WHO? . . . Oh, that Speranzy one? Lote Snow's grandson? The one they used to call the Portygee? . . . Eh? Well, all right, I don't care if he did hear me. If he don't know you're nice and smart and good-lookin', it's high time he did."
Wal, after that I used to take her around some, an' her folks objected becuz I was ignorant, an' she learnt me some things, an' bein' strong an' a good dancer an' purty good-lookin' she kind o' forgot about my failin's, an' we was married. Her folks said she'd throwed herself away; but I could buy an' sell the hull set of 'em now!"
"Do you mean ter 'low that she wuz changed in her cradle, er is she too good-lookin' to be my daughter?" "My deah Mis' Walden! it 'ud be wastin' wo'ds fer me ter say dat dey ain' no young lady too good-lookin' ter be yo' daughter; but you're lookin' so young yo'sef dat I'd ruther take her fer yo' sister." "Yas," rejoined Mis' Molly, with animation, "they ain't many years between us.
"Jim don't act as if he thought so much of me, an' I dun'no' as I wonder," she told her sister. Fanny looked at her critically. "You mean you ain't so good-lookin' as you used to be?" said she. Eva nodded. "Well, if that is all men care for us," said Fanny. "It ain't," said Eva, "only it's the key to it. It's like losin' the key and not bein' able to get in the door in consequence."
"He is the handsomest man I ever saw," said Sarah Lynn, unexpectedly, in an odd, shamed, almost awed voice, as if she were speaking of a divinity. Then for the first time Mr. John Mangam gave evidence of life. He did not speak, but he made an inarticulate noise between a grunt and a sniff. "Well, if you call that man good-lookin'," said Mrs. Lynn, "you don't see the way I do, that's all."
She's from Tennessee, an's got a good-lookin', sprightly daughter. Nobody knows a thing about 'em; they don't talk much about the'rse'ves. They tuk the hotel when Rick Martin sold out last fall, an' they've been thar ever sence." Supper was served in the room adjoining the kitchen. After it was over, Westerfelt and his host went back to the sitting-room.
One of 'em wuz a-cryin', I guess. His ma hadn't nothin' but love to give him, but you could see that she wuz a-givin' him that liberal. And Durant's "Spanish Singing Girl" rousted up a sight of admiration; she wuz very good-lookin' looked a good deal like my son's wife. There wuz a picter there of a boat in a storm. And on that boat is thrown a vivid ray of sunshine.
