Spriggins, and I am your debtor for life," said the young man, extending his hand to the obliging Moses and giving him that hearty shake which often betokens lasting gratitude. "Call on me at any time, Mr. Spriggins; you will be in again soon, I presume." "After hayin', sir." "Very well," and bowing the visitor out the lawyer once more took up the letter and read it slowly through.
"I wanted it before hayin', but I s'pose any time before Thanksgivin' 'll do, seein' it's you." "What's wuth doin' 't all 's wuth takin' time over, 's my motto," said Jabe cheerfully, "but seein' it's you, I'll nail that cover on ter night or bust!" A Village Sabbath. It was Sunday morning, and the very peace of God was brooding over Pleasant River.
"Enough to pay for a night's lodgin'?" His voice sounded strangely soft from one so large and rugged. It hinted at unused possibilities. But though Amelia felt impressed, she was conscious of little more than her own cold and stiffness, and she answered sharply, "No, I don't. I don't calculate to hire, except in hayin' time, an' then I don't take tramps."
He worked with unusual speed this morning, and ended by milking all the cows himself as a sort of savage penance for his misdeeds the previous evening, muttering in self-defence: "Seems 's if ever' cussid thing piles on to me at once. That corn, the road-tax, and hayin' comin' on, and now she gits her back up "
"Find out by seein' the cow if he hez gone, an' by not seein' no cow if he hain't. I'm comf'table either way it turns out. One o' them writin' fellers that was up here summerin' said, 'They also serve who'd ruther stan' 'n' wait' 'd be a good motto for me, 'n' he's about right when I've ben hayin'. Look down there at the shiners, ain't they cool? Gorry! I wish I was a fish!"
"And why has he come back before the Legislature's over?" said Wetherell. "Cuttin' of his farms. Always comes back hayin' time. That's the way Jethro spends the money he makes in politics, and he hain't no more of a farmer than " Moses looked at Wetherell. "Than I'm a storekeeper," said the latter, smiling. "Than I'm a lawyer," said Moses, politely.
Have a cookey?" and Quincy's pockets were filled with cakes that contained raisins and citron. "Them's seedless raisins, Quincy. I had a boarder once, a reg'lar hayseed who came down here from Montrose to work hayin' time, an' he asked me how I got the stuns out of the raisins.
They are all pretty well worn. A week or so in the field will remedy the defects of my face and hands, and make them more like your husband's." "I'm goin' to try ye out fer a week," Jake remarked, "an' if ye understand hayin' as well as ye do wrestlin' ye're the man fer me." "Just for my board and lodging," Douglas added. "Well, that's fer you to say." "I prefer it that way."
An' the hay-mower wus to be got ready fer hayin'. She mostly drove that herself, an' I 'lows I wus glad." Arizona paused and took a fresh chew. Then he went on. "Guess you ain't never got hitched?" Tresler denied the impeachment. "Not yet," he said. "Hah! Guess it makes a heap o' diff'rence." "Yes, I suppose so. Sobers a fellow. Makes him feel like settling down." "Wal, maybe."
'Bout twenty-five years after that Reuel was gettin' on by that time he was out fishin', and a squall come up and swamped his boat. He was in the water quite a spell, and come next day he was all doubled up with rheumatiz. He was the maddest man you ever see. He wouldn't do a thing, only sit hunched up in his chair and ask about the weather. It was summer-time, and good hayin' weather as a rule.
