And when you jest think how big the world is, and how long it has stood, and how many houses has been built for posies from Persia and Ingy, down to Chicago and Jonesville, then you will mebby get it into your head the immense bigness on't yes, that buildin' is two hundred and sixty thousand square feet, and every foot all filled up with beauty, and bloom, and perfume.
I meekly replied that I had no doubt Polly would be delighted to see her dear uncle, and as for inheriting, if it came to that, I did n't know any one with a greater capacity for that than she. "That depends," said the gruff old smoker, "how I like ye. A fortune, scraped up in forty years in Ingy, ain't to be thrown away in a minute.
Those East Ingy traders do make lots of money. But before I'd have that old truck in my nice new house!" And the captain gave a snort of disdain. He did not dream that before another hundred years had passed there would be comparative fortunes made in the old truck. "We'll be a little late gettin' in, but there'll be a moon. Lucky wind ain't dead agin us."
He took his name from that, most likely, and to intimidate his subjects. Now, King or Emperor don't strike the same breathless terror; but Rager why, jest the name is enough to make 'em behave."

Again the always husky voice broke, and the white apron was turned into a handkerchief for the nonce. "Now you are going to lose them, you say?" "Yes'm. They're to ship with their father for the long cruise that is, I s'pose I oughter say they're a-goin with him on the long v'yage to Ingy." "I presume he gets lonely for them too, poor man!"
"And then I'd make him educate 'em gin 'em a chance," sez I; "but whether he gives it or not the bell of Freedom is a-echoin' clear from Wyomin' to Ingy, and it sounds clear under them veils. They will be throwed off whether he is willin' or not, and I'd love to tell him so." Sez Josiah, "I guess it will be as the Rager sez."

"'Yes, replies she, 'and what do you care about them? "'It's very much I care, replied I, 'for a little bird has whispered a secret to me. "'And what may that be? says she.
"But they would not let me meet my mother, who is coming home from India, so I took all the money out of my savings-box and came by the train without telling anyone." The navvy released him. "From Ingy! That's a long way to come. And they wouldn't let you meet her! It was a darned shame. You're a well plucked one for your size. Can ye stand treat, young maister?
"Hang your salary, and confound your impudence and your seven-by-nine hovel! Do you think you have anything to say about the use of my money, scraped up in forty years in Ingy?
