Something else stood in its place, a shiny, black affair, with a generous supply of oven doors, and altogether such a comfortable, home-like look about it, as if it would say "I'm going to make sunshine in this house!" "Oh, Joel," cried his mother, turning around on him with very black hands, "you haven't told!" "No," said Joel, "but she's hearin' the noise, Polly is."
And, say, we must have been a great pair, sittin' side by side in the armchairs, puttin' away sweitzer sandwiches and mugs of chickory blend; him in his tall lid, and with his quiet, old timy manners, and me well, I guess you get the tableau. I used to like hearin' him talk, he uses such a soothin', genteel brand of conversation; nothing fancy, you know, but plain, straightaway goods.
"Best of sons! but aren't you all good, for how could you be otherwise with her blood in your veins? bring me away; come you, Dora darlin' ay, that's it support the: blessed child between you and Hanna, Kathleen darlin'. Oh, wait, wait till we get out of hearin, or the noise of the clay fallin' on the coffin will kill me."
"I gotta have my breakfast," said Mag. "Four cups of coffee ain't nothin' to me." Gert got up and stretched herself impatiently. "I'm sick an' tired of hearin' you all talk about eatin'. Mag's idea of Heaven is a place where you spend ten hours makin' money an' two eatin' it up. Some of us ain't built like that.
"It was just so from the first. It used to go to my heart to see that little thing lookin' after herself, every way, and not askin' anybody's help, but just as quiet and proud about it! She's her mother, all over. And yest'day, when she set here waitin' for the stage, and it did seem as if I should have to give up, hearin' her sob, sob, sob, why, Mr.
"All right, then. Now I'm goin' to fix the hearin' fur to-morrow mornin' at ten. The other side is askin' fur a quick decision; and I rather figger they're entitled to it. Is that agreeable to you?" "Whutever you say, Judge." "Well, have you retained a lawyer to represent your interests in court? That's the main question that I sent fur you to ast you." "Do I need a lawyer, Judge?"
Boggs tells me himse'f he comes mighty near bein' caught in some speritual round-up one time, an' I allers allows, after hearin' Boggs relate the tale, that if he'd only been submerged in what you- alls calls benigner inflooences that a-way, he'd most likely made the fold all right an' got garnered in with the sheep. "It's just after Short Creek Dave gets to be one of them 'vangelists.
I was mad to treat you as I did." Thus speaking, he bowed low with the grace of a man sometimes used to the society of ladies, and then went out of the gate. "Where did you come from?" asked Helen, looking up at Jonathan. He pointed under the lilac bushes. "Were you there?" she asked wonderingly. "Did you hear all?" "I couldn't help hearin'." "It was fortunate for me; but why why were you there?"
'Read her out, Dan; I'd play the hand, but I has to ride herd on the culprit. "'I can't read it, says Boggs, handin' the note to Tutt; 'I can't read readin', let alone writin'. But I'm free to say, even without hearin' that document none, that I shorely hesitates to string this party up. Bein' tongueless, an' not hearin' a lick more'n adders, somehow he keeps appealin' to me like he's locoed.
I 'low he'd be some surprised to see us. I'd like to tell him, too, what the Earls of Lambeth done fo' him that they was always loyal, and thought a heap better of him than their neighbors done, and mebby some better than he deserved. Don't you reckon that not hearin' from us, he's got the notion the Cavendishes has petered out?" Mr. Yancy considered this likely, and said so.
