There was a new breeze, spicily cool. Miss Hoag breathed out, "Ain't this something grand?" "Giddy-ap!" cried the Baron, slappity-slappity at the great boulder of the Granite Jaw's head. "Giddy-ap!" They plowed forward, a group out of Phantasmagoria as motley a threesome as ever strode this side of the Land of Anesthesia. "How do you like it at Mrs. Bostum's boarding-house, Mr. Jastrow?
It was a vigorous and healthy grower, and the clusters were full and handsome. W. J. Fowler, of Monroe County, saw the vine in October, with the leaves still hanging well, a great bearer and the grape of fine quality. C. L. Hoag, of Lockport, said he began to pick the Niagara on the 26th of August, but its quality improved by hanging on the vine.
It was to Miss Hoag that he continued his attentions. "You miserable, swindlin' make-believe!" he growled, his voice shaking with emotion. "You you come here and and pretend Oh, by The Almighty, if you was a man, if you wasn't the the poor, pitiful fool that you be, I'd I'd " His daughter had reached his side. "Father," she begged. "Father, for my sake " "Be still!
THE DOCTOR: Come now; all this is not a drop in the bucket. This man needs an operation and then constant attention. If he pulls through, it is a question of months. What he actually needs then is country air, fresh milk, eggs, professional nursing, and plenty of it! Miss HOAG: That's me, Doc! That's me! I'm going to fix just that for him. I got the means. I can show you three bank-books.
Within her own room, a second-floor-back, augmented slightly by an immaculate layout of pink-celluloid toilet articles and a white water-pitcher of three pink carnations, Miss Hoag snapped on her light where it dangled above the celluloid toilet articles.
When that Marietta Hoag or that Chinee critter or Cap'n Jeth's ghost's wife or whoever 'twas talkin' that spirit jabber when she them, I mean give out that a small, dark man was right there in that house, I thought " "Primmie, go to bed." "Yes'm. And when I remembered that Nelse Howard was " "Go to bed this minute!" "Yes'm. But how do you 'spose he's goin' to "
He is dreadfully shaken, poor man, and he seems to feel as if the last plank had foundered from beneath him, as father used to say; but, if it doesn't have any worse effect than that, I shall declare the whole business a mercy and a miracle. If it has the effect of curin' him of the Marietta Hoag kind of spiritualism and it really looks like a cure then it will be worth all the scare it gave us.
To toil so devotedly, and to have such filthy, humiliating words for thanks! He wondered if even his Uncle Mike would have shown so vile a spirit. Hoag gave free rein to his tongue, and found in his pal, Bill Hawkins, one with ready ears to hear his tale of woe. The wretch began to feel himself frightfully ill-used.
Be still, girl!... Marietta Hoag, you answer me. Who put you up to tellin' me to sell that stock to Pulcifer? Who did it? Answer me?" Marietta tried, but she could do little but gurgle. She gurgled, however, in her natural tones, or a frightened imitation of them. Little Cherry Blossom had, apparently, fluttered to the Chinese spiritland. "I I Oh, my good land!" she wailed. "Answer!"
"Talkin' about what I'm tryin' to tell you," said Zacheus, who seemed, for him, a good deal disturbed. "All able believers, fo'mast hands, and roustabouts and all full-rated ghosts, spooks, sperits and Chinee controls are ordered to get together in the parlor next Saturday night and turn loose and raise-whatever 'tis they raise.
