Whatever shall I do for sewin' things, now I didn't get no goober money? Well, anyway, there's that nickel o' Jane's will buy a chop for his supper an' I best hurry get it ready.
Then he went on: "And she thought perhaps you might have some medicine, and " "But what is the matter, Ranald?" "He was hurted bad and he is not right wise in his head." "But how was he hurt?" Ranald hesitated. "I was not there I am thinking it was something that struck him." "Ah, a tree! But where did the tree strike him?" "Here," pointing to his breast; "and it is sore in his breathing."
"Guess he's hurted pretty bad," he remarked again. "You bet," said the first. "Gee!" Allbright's sister came with the camphor-bottle, which she kept in a sort of folk-lore fashion, as her mother had used to do in the country.
The sheet turned scarlet and half her uniform too, as she bore the load into the kitchen. It was little Edna Gerritt, aged nine, whom Mary had known since her perambulator days. 'Am I hurted bad?

The dep'ties had a circus 'fore they got the irons on him. Caught him in a clearin' 'bout two miles back o' the Holler. He was up in a corn-crib with a Winchester when they opened on him. Nobody was hurted, but they would a-been if they'd showed the top o' their heads, for he's strong as a bull and kin scalp a squirrel at fifty yards.
Sonny rescued him from the old red rooster one day after he had nearly pecked him to death, an' he had him hoppin' round the kitchen for about a week with one eye bandaged up. When a hurted critter gits good an' strong he gen'ally turns it loose ag'in; but ef it stays puny, why he reg'lar 'dopts it an' names it Jones. That's thess a little notion o' his, namin' his pets the family name.
It was I who hurt him, but indeed I didn't mean to do it." "A noice bizness yoi've made of it atween ee," the woman said, but in a not unkind voice.

"But we hurted the tree, Marty, and 'twill do no good to we." They were both grave now; then a hopeful thought came to her aid.
The pain she suffered was most excruciating, yet the first words she uttered were: "Is the baby safe? poor little darling!" "Yes, ma'm. I hope you aint hurted any worse than the baby," replied one of the men, with genuine, though unpolished sympathy. "Thank God, the baby's safe," said Agnes. "I am hurt; but after awhile I think I will be able to get up.
