"There's a big one howd o' that bait, my lads," said Dave, "and he'll give us a race. Shall we leave him?" "Leave him! no," cried the lads together. "Ah, you heven't got to pole!" said Dave thoughtfully, as he gazed at the bladder skimming along a couple of hundred yards away. "Then let me do the poling," cried Dick eagerly, "I'm not tired."
"I heven't been so moved sense the day I laid me old mother to rest in the graveyard over yonder." "Upset, did ye say?" replied another, turning suddenly upon him. "What was there to upset ye in that?" "Why, the way the parson spoke and looked." "Umph! He was only acting his part. He was trying to work upon our feelings, that was all. Ah, he is a cute one, that.
Him that's allus talkin' about lovin' our neighbours as ourselves, standin' a-tween us an' our natral rights. I hev often told Eudora, heven't I, dear? that we need a better place than this. Now, that Frenelle homestead is jist what we want, an' it seemed as if the Lord intended we should hev it, too. It is so included from all pryin' eyes, an' away from them country people who are so uncongenial.
"Poor Martha!" was the squire's first thought on rousing himself. "I know now what t' heart-ache she spoke of is like. I'm feared I heven't been as sorry as I might hev been for her." Yet that very night, while the squire was suffering from the first shock of wounded, indignant amazement, God had taken Martha's case in his own hand.
But when men are too scart an' heven't as much spunk as a chicken jist outer the shell, what else is thar to do? Is thar no one in the hull parish to stan' up fer the Lord's anointed? Tell me that. Didn't that beautiful Queen Ester stan' before her crank of a husband, Hazen Hearus, an' plead fer the lives of her people?
"I heven't forgot, I heven't forgot." "Are you all right again, Bargle?" said Dick, trying in vain to extricate his hand. "Yeees. Knock o' the yead don't hot me. See here." He slowly drew out of his pocket a great piece of dark-yellow ivory, evidently the point, and about a foot in length, of the tusk of some animal, probably an elephant. "Theer's what I promised you, lad. That's a tush, that is.
"Heave to, and let us see you a minute." "What for?" "Want to talk with you." "Can't stop." "Guess ye kin. Heven't ye seen nary nigger?" "No." "Well, stop won't ye?" "Can't stop; must get home by sunrise." "Well, ye must stop!" yelled the speaker, angrily, and with an oath. "Hossifus!" groaned Cyd, in mortal terror. "Shut up, Cyd," added Dan, sternly.
"Yah!" shouted Hickathrift angrily, "they never shot him; they heven't got no goon." Thorpeley was not badly hurt, so the doctor said when he came; but, as usual, he added, "If it had been an inch or two more to the right an important vessel would have been divided, and he would have bled to death."
"This here's what I ben a waitin' for to see you an' you only though I skurse dared to hope it. At any rate, I did hope and feel that you wouldn't go off without a word, and no more you heven't; an' I feel so happy that I could cry." It was not exaggerated. Honest Zac was unused to such emotions, and hardly understood them.
"Why, theer heven't been such a thing happen since the big fight wi' the smugglers and the king's men," said Dave. To which John Warren assented, and said it was "amaazin'." "And who do you think it weer?" said Dave, as he stood scratching his ear; and upon being told the squire's opinion, he shook his head, and said there was no knowing.
