If he ever was, he don't look much like one now, for he's six-feet nothin' in his socks, an' drinks like a fish, if he don't do nothin' wuss. Good-night Capp'n. Baby'll ketch cold if I keep on jawin' here. Mind your weather eye, and port your helm when you reach the landin'. If you'll take the advice of a young salt, you'll clew up your mainsail an' dowse some of your top-hamper ah! I thought so!"
Why, if he ain't snared, Sam; he is properly wired I declare I vow this is some o' your doin's, Sam well it was a clever scheme too, but a little grain too dangerous, I guess. 'Don't stand staring and jawin' there all night, said Jim, 'cut me down, I tell you or cut my throat and be damned to you, for I am chokin' with blood. 'Roll over that 'ere hogshead, old Snow, said I, 'till I get atop on it and cut him down. So I soon released him, but he couldn't walk a bit.
"What's the use o' grumblin', Stub?" said Hawkson, lifting a live coal with his fingers to light his pipe. "Don't `Stub' me," said Stubley in an angry tone. "Would you rather like me to stab you?" asked Hawkson, with a good-humoured glance, as he puffed at his pipe. "I'd rather you clapped a stopper on your jaw." "Ah so's you might have all the jawin' to yourself?" retorted Hawkson.
Now, on this trip he knows my fears, and how sedulously I have guarded Dorothy from the tender passion, and it wuz just like him to put his own desires in the background and go with us to help protect her." "How did you git such dretful fears of marriage?" sez I. "Men are tryin' lots of times, and it takes considerable religion to git along with one without jawin' more or less.
I found it afterwards in my vest, so all your jawin' was just for nothin'. Ros, she ought to beg my pardon, hadn't she? Hadn't she now?" Dorinda saved me the trouble of answering. "Um-hm!" she observed, dryly. "Well, I'll beg my own pardon instead, for bein' so dumb as not to go through your vest myself. So THAT'S where the other fifteen cents come from! I see.
And as if that wasn' enough, you work loose on the jawin' tacks till steerage way there's none. I put it to you." "I'm sorry, 'Bias," Cai assured him contritely as they moved on. "Maybe I'm upset by the pleasure o' seein' ye here. Many a time I've picter'd it, an' I don't know if you've noticed, but these little things never do fall out just like a man expects."
It went plumb to his heart an' killed him. He wa'n't no great loss, nohow, fur he'd eat more in a week than he'd kill, ketch, or raise in a year. When his light went out I'd only one less mouth to feed, and got rid o' his jawin' an' cussin' all the time. But that hain't nothin' t' do with you. You 's jest puttin' on a lettle authority kase ye could. But all men air alike that-a-way.
"Noa," drawled the carpenter; "Muster Bubbage beant here; doan't want un, nuther nuvver do moind a's owen business always jawin' volks. A beant here, an' doan't want un, nuther." Nick's heart went down. "And where is he?" "Who? Muster Bubbage? Whoy, a be-eth out to Zhoreditch, a-playin' at t' theater." "And where may Shoreditch be?" "Whur be Zhoreditch?" gaped the workman, vacantly.
"That's your sort!" cried Fred; "now then, May, don't stand jawin' there, but down with number two. Look alive!" "Ha! chips o' the old blocks, I see," said Bob Clazie, with a grin. "Well, as I was sayin', there's another class o' men, not so bad as the first, but bad enough, who are indooced to go in for this crime of fire-raisin' arson they calls it, but why so is beyond me to diskiver.
So when you hear folks jawin', you can allus tell what's the matter wi' 'em. "There's old Shoemaker Hankin at Deadborough. Know him? Well, did you ever hear such a blatherin' old fool?
