Why dey's nuthin dat is more nutritious. You never saw a healthier or finer lookin' bunch of negroes dan wuz on Colonel Harvey's place. "I 'member one time tho' when he changed us off cotton-seed, but we didn't stay changed fo' long. No suh. Of all de grumblin' dem niggers did, becase dey insides had got so used to dat cotton-seed and corn-meal dey wouldn't be satisfied wid nothing else."
"Pongo," insinuated someone at this moment, "I thought as 'ow you never grumbled." "Pongo's" voice sank to its ordinary level. "That ain't grumblin'," he said. "I ain't a one to grumble." But for the better part of an hour I heard him growling away to himself, and "plum and apple" was the burden of his growl. For even "Pongo" Simpson cannot always practise what he preaches.
They hante set up the brazen image here to worship, but they've got a gold one, and that they do adore and no mistake; it's all pay, pay, pay; parquisite, parquisite, parquisite; extortion, extortion, extortion. There is a whole pack of yelpin' devils to your heels here, for everlastinly a cringin', fawnin' and coaxin', or snarlin', grumblin' or bullyin' you out of your money.
He had grinned widely when, just before the outfit had departed, he had heard Rogers whisper to Harlan: "You've made yourself solid with the bunch, for sure, by offerin' 'em a bigger divvy. They've been grumblin' about it for a long time. They're all sore at Haydon an' Deveny for bein' greedy. But you're sure cookin' up a heap of trouble with Haydon an' Deveny!"
"McClosky, the second mate, was not a fellow who stood any nonsense, an' th' men weren't long before they was out o' th' fo'c's'le, grumblin' an' swearin' as only men who've lost their watch below can. They just stayed long enough t' shove th' unopened bottles o' stout well out o' sight underneath th' mattresses o' their bunks an' then they was up on deck working like niggers.
"What's the use o' grumblin', Stub?" said Hawkson, lifting a live coal with his fingers to light his pipe. "Don't `Stub' me," said Stubley in an angry tone. "Would you rather like me to stab you?" asked Hawkson, with a good-humoured glance, as he puffed at his pipe. "I'd rather you clapped a stopper on your jaw." "Ah so's you might have all the jawin' to yourself?" retorted Hawkson.
It was blowin' when I got in to go and sleep, 'cause she was allus grumblin', and then somethin' ketched me, and my arm went crack, and it got very hot, and I went to sleep. I don't 'member no more. I say." "Yes." "I shan't take no more doctor's stuff, shall I?"
I'd a deal sooner hear him grumblin' about her Ladyship as he used to do. It 'ud be more natural-like, so it would. Why would we be callin' him 'Old Blood and Thunder' if 'twas to be like an image he was? Och, the ould times were ever the best!" "He'll come to himself yet," said Bridget more hopefully. The room was a long bare one, with three deep windows.
Sure didn't himself tell us that only he pitied us an' felt for us, he'd a' been ten times harsher than he was, an' so he would, be coorse, an' 'tis thankful we have a right to be, an' not grumblin' at all at all.
"Lod! he's like a wannert thunder-storm, growlin' and grumblin', as if he had got lost frae the rest o' his company. But he seems to hae plenty o' siller anyway," she concluded, "an' he can drink whusky wi' anybody I ever seen try it." By and by a village worthy came in, and he was at once hailed by Black Jock, and invited to have a glass. "What are you drinkin', chappie?" he enquired.
