'E said Dr. Funk was a bloomin' ass for inventin' a drink that spoiled good Pernoud with water. 'E was a rare un. 'E was like Stevenson 'at wrote 'Treasure Island. Comes into my pub in Taiohae in the Marquesas Islands did Stevenson off'n his little Casco, and says he, ''Ave ye any whisky, 'e says, ''at 'asn't been watered? These South Seas appear to 'ave flooded every bloomin' gallon, 'e says.
I mean fellow is up to just now?" "I don't know, Willie." "He's inventin' a calc'latin' machine, as is to do anythin' from simple addition to fractions, an' he says if it works well he'll carry it on to algebra an' mathematics, up to the fizmal calc'lus, or somethin' o' that sort. Oh, you've no notion how he strains himself at it.
Say say, Jed Winslow, you come along home to dinner with me. I bet you've forgot to eat anything for the last day or so been inventin' some new kind of whirlagig or other and your empty stomach's gone to your head and made it dizzy. Boys! Gracious king! Come on home with me." Jed smiled his slow smile. "I don't mean real boys, Sam," he explained. "I mean me I'm the boys.
Then he caught sight of the name on the stern. "Hopper-grass! Hoppergrass! Where didger git that air name, Lem? Invent it yerself?" "No, I didn't," said the Captain. He was very much irritated, and he did not look around. "Well, then, if 'taint yer own inventin', I jes as soon tell yer if yer ask ME, that it's the most ding-busted, tom-fool name I ever see on a cat-boat in all my born days."
In five minutes he had replaced the wheels, and the machine, except for needed sharpening, did good work. "There you are, Rad!" exclaimed Tom at length. "Yo' suah am a wonder at inventin'!" cried the colored man gratefully. "I'll cut yo' grass all summah fo' yo' to pay fo' this, Mistah Swift." "Oh, that's too much. I didn't do a great deal, Rad."
"You may as well put that notion right out of your head," said Willie, "for we shan't let you carry out no such crazy scheme." "But to come launching down on you this way " began the younger man. "You ain't come launchin' down," objected his aunt with spirit. "We ain't got nothin' to do but inventin', an' I reckon that can wait."
At 30, if the time of birth is given correct, I think you are an individdyal as may look for some species of misfortin—there will be some rather singular circumstances occur, which might denote loss of friends, or the fallin’ to you of a fortin, or great travellin’ by water or land, or losin’ money at cards, or breakin’ your leg, or makin’ a great discovery, or inventin’ somethin’, or gettin’ put into prison on suspicion of sorcery and witchcraft.
Arter they was gone we set to work an' built a noo hut. Then daddy who's got an amazin' turn for inventin' things set to work to concoct suthin' for the reptiles if they should pay us another visit. It was at that time he thought of turnin' this cave to account as a place o' refuge when hard pressed, an' hit on the plan for liftin' the big stone easy, which no doubt you've obsarved."
"What's he doin', then? Sittin' round foolin' with his inventions, ain't he?" "Yes." "What's he inventin' now?" "I don't know much about it." She pointed to the model beneath the window. "That's the last thing, I guess." Blinky snorted and stamped over to the window, stooping to peer at the machine.
Nate set up night and day for six years inventin' a process fur sweatin' gold into ore; finally he gets it; how he does it, nobody knows, but he sweat gold eighteen inches into the solid rock. The first few holes he salted he gets rid of all right, then of course they catch him, and Nate's doin' time now. But say, I got respect fur Nate since readin' that piece.
