"Buck, for God's sake tell 'em you know nothin' of Silent," cried old Daniels. "Boy, boy, it's hangin' for you if they get you to Elkhead an' charge you with that!" "Dad, you're a fool," said Buck. "I ain't goin' down on my knees to 'em. Not me." Calder, still keeping Buck covered with his gun, drew Dan a little to one side. "What can we do with this fellow, Dan?" he said.
And when I argued with him he whispered to me: "Samantha, if you insist on hangin' round their meetin' house here any longer I shall say out loud, 'By Joss!" At that fearful threat I started on, I wouldn't let him demean himself before the heathen. You can see here in this country, as in Japan, native workers plyin' their different trades, mechanics, painters, jewelers, etc., etc.
I tried to make it enthusiastic, and if it come out a little draggy it must have been on account of that ancient lid of hers that's hangin' in full view on one of the bedposts. As a matter of fact, she's one of these straight-built, husky, well-colored dames, with fairly good lines in spite of what the village dressmaker had done to her. "There!" says Mr. Leavitt.
"What would you do, Mr. Bickford?" "I'd go home and marry Sukey Smith, by gosh!" "Then I hope you'll get the money, for Miss Smith's sake." "There's a feller hangin' round her," said Joshua, "kinder slick-lookin', with his hair parted in the middle; he tends in the dry-goods store; but, if I come home with two thousand dollars, she'll have me, I guess.
"I tell ye," said he to another gentleman of leisure, whose chief occupation was to watch the coming and going of the visitors to Arrowhead Village, "I tell ye that girl ain't a gon to put up with any o' them slab-sided fellahs that you see hangin' raound to look at her every Sunday when she comes aout o' meetin'. It's one o' them big gents from Boston or New York that'll step up an' kerry her off."
"There don't seem ter be a minute in the day that Miss Polly ain't jest hangin' 'round waitin' ter do somethin' for that blessed lamb if 'tain't more than ter let in the cat an' her what wouldn't let Fluff nor Buff up-stairs for love nor money a week ago; an' now she lets 'em tumble all over the bed jest 'cause it pleases Miss Pollyanna!
"I know it's not my day to come in and that he don't want us hangin' about where he can see us, but the missus, she says, don't you dare to keep back this news from him even if he shoots you down in your tracks." The newspapers said that the Poor Boy had been wrongfully accused, wrongfully convicted, wrongfully imprisoned, and that his 'scutcheon was clear in the eyes of all men.
But I didn't get a look-in." "What makes you think they're in it? Who do you mean? Nickleby?" "Nick don't work straight from the shoulder, Mr. Kendrick; but he's got a long arm with a lot o' elbows in it." McCorquodale shook his head. thoughtfully and looked serious. "There was a guy named Weiler hangin' around I dunno. It's just one o' them hunches a feller gets now 'n' then."
"Have you seen him?" The quorum thumbed the armholes of their vests and shook an emphatic negative. "Nope," volunteered the storekeeper; "too early for him or his sort to be diggin' out o' winter quarters." "Are you sure? Do you know him?" "Wall, can't say exactly ef I know him; but I'd know ef he'd been hangin' round, sartin. Hain't been nothin' like him loose in these parts. Has there, boys?"
"There ain't enough real seamanship in the crew o' this craft to tax the mental make-up of a Chinaman. Hum m m! American bark Chesapeake. Starboard anchor out; yards braced a-box; royals an' to'-gallan'-s'ls clewed up; courses hangin' in the buntlines an' clew garnets, Stars-an'-Stripes upside down."
