Yet it was plain enough, for the inlet led up to the three trees, which seemed to invite a man to do there whatever he had planned to do. "Stuff 'em up their chimney," says Monson. "Tip the hut into the creek. That joke's on them, ain't it?" I didn't see how the joke was on them. "Why, I never knew an Injy islander to dig a cellar," he says: "They lie on the ground and get ague.
The third is yit to come. I pay a dollar a year and every year I gits a new volume. It's a grand book, too, Mark. It was wrote by one of our brethren, Brother Matthias Pennel, who went to Injy in charge of a shipload of grain gathered by our people for the sufferin' heathen. The first volume tells all about the gittin' up of the subscription and the sailin' of the wessel.
I heard the solemn ticking of the clock on the mantel behind me; I heard Mary laughing softly in her retreat beyond the table; I heard Luther, now bending over his book, mumbling to himself a few words of the text. "It is about the faymine in Injy," he said at last, holding his place on the page with a long, thin forefinger, and looking up at me. "There are three volumes, and this is the second.
The railroads in Injy are not like the Empire Express; though, as we drew near Bombay, the scenery wuz grand; some like our own Sierra Nevada's. Only a few milds back from the railroad, tigers, panthers and all sorts of fierce animals wuz to home to callers, but we didn't try to visit 'em.
Myrtle did not know she was held; she only felt she was lifted, and borne up, as a cherub may feel upon a white-woolly cloud, and smiled accordingly at the nurse, as if quite at home in her arms. "As fine a child as ever breathed the breath of life. But where did them black eyes come from? Born in Injy, that 's it, ain't it? No, it's her poor mother's eyes to be sure.
Or send myself, or one of myselfs, off to Injy, while the other one of me stayed to Jonesville. Now, honestly speakin', it don't seem to me that I ever could learn to do this, not at my age, any way, and most dead with rheumatiz a good deal of the time. I most know I couldn't.

Lor'! when my young mars' brung his bride over from Orleans dat chile didn't have a gownd in her trunk dat warn't made of Injy silk; an' she did look han'some a-trailin' round in 'em. An' you tell me I donno what fine dressin' is! Go 'long, chile! you've lost your manners."
"What is this?" He tore the fluttering garment off the projection and held it up to the light. "My lady's Injy scarf!" No one knew who spoke all recognized it. It was a little Cashmere shawl Lady Kingsland often wore. Another thrilling silence followed; then "The Lord be merciful!" gasped a house-maid. "She's been murdered, and we in our beds!"
She left me the other, an' I've got it to home, over the parlor mantelpiece." I remembered seeing it there, when I had called on the Captain. He lived all alone on West Injy Lane, in a house full of cats and curiosities. The ear-trumpet always had a bouquet of dried flowers stuffed in the big end, and I had supposed that it was a speaking- trumpet.
