"In the first place she ain't got a notion of how to put it together again; an' in the next place she ain't fit to go liftin' an' haulin' things about the way she does. She's gettin' to be an old woman. Ain't she most eighty?" "She's not far from it," answered Lucy.
"Very like, very like," responded the Trapper; "fur the gullies be deep on the carry, and it must have been slippery haulin'. Didn't ye git a leetle 'arnest in yer feelin's, Bill, afore ye got to the top of the last ridge?"
"Well, what is 't he thinks 'tis that's haulin' him?" asked Sophronia, who was not imaginative. "Why, all I mean is, he don't take things for what they're wuth. He believes every goose's a swan till it up and honks, and he's jest as likely to think a swan's a goose." "You don't mean he ain't suited with Mariana?" "No, no.
"Skipper, dear, would ye be haulin' me an' me wooden leg out into sich a desperate flurry as this here?" inquired Pat, aghast. "Saints be good to ye, skipper, but I'd die in me tracks!" Some of the foolish delight went out of Nolan's face. His lips closed and his black eyes began to glint like moonshine on new ice. "It bain't no more nor a step or two," he said.
And sure enough, by rubberin' in through the door, I can see a clerk haulin' out a tray of rings. Think of that! Vincent.

And by makin' a quick maneuver I manages to bump into him as he's leavin' the front door with the little white box in his fist.
'Come nigh haulin' me in tew. ''Tain't possible, said Uncle Eb. Mose expectorated, his hands upon his hips, looking down at the water. 'Wouldn't eggzac'ly say 'twas possible, he drawled, 'but 'twas a fact. 'Yer mistaken, said Uncle Eb. 'No I hain't, was the answer, 'I tell ye I see it. 'Then if ye see it the nex' thing ye orter see 's a doctor. There's sumthin' wrong with you sumwheres.
Such distaste animated the tone of that response that Mariana involuntarily raised herself from her listening posture, and the dishes clinked. "What's that? Didn't you hear suthin'? Why, Jake Preble's a kind of a hind wheel. He goes rollin' along after t'others, never askin' why nor wherefore, and he thinks it's his own free will. He never so much as dreams 'tis the horse that's haulin' him."
There's Madam Budd, now; why, she's quite a navigator, and knows all about weerin' and haulin', and I dares to say could put the schooner about, to keep her off the reef, on a pinch; though which way the craft would come round, could best be told a'ter it has been done.
I intended to cut some timber an' haul it to the village this winter so I could pay a part o' the note an' git more time as I told ye, but the roads have been so bad I couldn't do any haulin'." My uncle went and took a drink at the water pail. I saw by his face that he was unusually wrought up. "My heavens an' earth!" he exclaimed as he sat down again.
These fellers generally come alone, scoutin' around to see the lay of the country I run into 'em right along drivin' livery rigs, see 'em around for a couple or three weeks sometimes. Then they go away, and the first thing I know they're back with their immigrant car full of stuff, haulin' out to some place somebody went broke on back in the early days.
