"Laws, honey," the old woman would reply, "I aint hankerin' arter any ob dis new book larnin'. I's a heap too old fer 'rithmertic an' 'stology. I jes' keeps to de plain Bible dat served de chillen of Isrul in de wilderness.
Ruth was lookin' at me, an' maybe that throwed me off. But, anyhow, you want me for killin' Bill Whitly nine year ago!" The sheriff's jaws dropped. "Say," he whispered, "what you tryin' to do commit suicide? or write yohse'f a invite to the pen?" "I ain't hankerin' for neither," Dale answered in a dejected voice.
Throwing his rifle to a level, Joe was trying to cover the bounding deer, when the hunter struck up his piece. "Lad, don't kill fer the sake of killin," he said, quietly. "We have plenty of venison. We'll go arter a buffalo. I hev a hankerin' fer a good rump steak." Half an hour later, the hunters emerged from the forest into a wide plain of waving grass.
The men grinned as they measured the stranger with admiring glances and one drawled, "We don't know where you come from, pardner, but we sure know what you can do. Ain't nobody in this outfit hankerin' to tackle the man that can work John Gardner down." At the barn the farmer drew the minister to one side. "Look here, Brother Matthews," he began. But the other interrupted sharply.
I told Russell pretty much all I had to tell, and he was allers doin' for me and runnin' after me jest as though he'd been my brother. I didn't know how much I did think of him, till, after a while, he seemed to take a sight of notice of Major. I can't say he ever stopped bein' clever to me, for he didn't; but he seemed to have a kind of a hankerin' after Major all the time.
If it's Monday she's bound ter say she wished 'twas Sunday; and if you take her jelly you're pretty sure ter hear she wanted chicken but if you DID bring her chicken, she'd be jest hankerin' for lamb broth!" "Why, what a funny woman," laughed Pollyanna. "I think I shall like to go to see her. She must be so surprising and and different. I love DIFFERENT folks." "Humph!
"Got a piece called 'The Yella Rose o' Texas Beats the Belles o' Tennessee'?" "Never heard of it." "Got 'Whur the Silver Colorady Wends its Way'?" The clerk replied in the negative. "Why don't you git some good music?" "Why aren't you at the show?" "Too contrary, I reckon. When I'm out in the hills I'm a hankerin' to see somebody. When I git in town I want to git away from everybody.
Jean listened to the yelps and to the moan of the cool wind in the cedars with a sense of satisfaction that these lonely sounds were familiar. This cedar wood burned into a pretty fire and the smell of its smoke was newly pleasant. "Reckon maybe I'll learn to like Arizona," he mused, half aloud. "But I've a hankerin' for waterfalls an' dark-green forests.
We shore don't hone none to have 'em hankerin' 'round. "Nacherally, I makes no doubt that if you goes clost to Injuns an' studies their little game you finds some of 'em good an' some bad, some gaudy an' some sedate, some cu'rous an' some indifferent, same as you finds among shore-enough folks. It's so with mules an' broncos; wherefore, then, may not these differences exist among Injuns?
I shouldn' wonder a mite if Mis' Peasley bought that hat now. She's been kind o' hankerin' arter it, the last two or three times she was in here; but every time she tried it on, she'd say No, 'twas too showy, she guessed.
