As we neared the school-master's house, where Stuart was next taking me, we came again upon the boys with Josey, and no barkeeper at hand to "see him through." But Josey made it needless. At the word "Chicken-legs" he flew in a limber manner upon the nearest, and knocking him immediately flat, turned with spirit upon a second and kicked him.
But if you must play, why not play something Christian and respectable something that a man can listen to without gritting his teeth and stopping his ears more than half the time?" "Well, that is complimentary!" sighed Josey. "Just when I was doing the very best that I could! Besides, I wasn't playing for you. You were not in the room, but stuck away off there in a corner.
Jonas drove on in the direction which he thought would have led to the shore; but, after going amply far enough to reach it, no shore was to be seen. The fact was, that he had insensibly deviated just so far from his course, as to be going along parallel with the shore, instead of in the direction towards it. Jonas began to be somewhat concerned, and Josey was in a state of great anxiety and fear.
"It would be rather fun," said Tanny. "Wouldn't it!" cried Josephine. "Oh, Josey, dear!" cried Julia hysterically. "Isn't she a red-hot Bolsher! I should be frightened." "No!" cried Josephine. "I should love it." "So should I," said Jim, in a luscious sort of voice. "What price machine-guns at the end of the Strand! That's a day to live for, what?" "Ha! Ha!" laughed Clariss, with her deep laugh.
'Poltry' was the general term among the frequenters of the 'Mother Huff' for 'poetry. "Ay, ay!" replied Buggins, somewhat condescendingly, as one who bore in mind that he was addressing a creditor; "I don't understan' poltry myself, but Josey speaks fine when he has a mind to there's no doubt of that. Look 'ee 'ere, now; there's Ipsie Frost runnin' to 'im!"
She said that they should only get entirely lost, for he was leading them altogether out of their way. But Jonas considered that the responsibility properly belonged to him, and that he must act according to his own discretion. So he pushed forward steadily after Franco. But his progress was now interrupted by hearing another loud call behind him, back upon the pond. "What's that?" said Josey.
"She's been in to see Adam Frost's children an' she gave Baby Hippolyta a bag o' sweeties," said Bainton. "An' she's called at the schoolhouse, but Miss Eden, she worn't in an' Susie Prescott saw her, an' Susie was that struck that she 'adn't a wurrd to say, so she tells us, an' Miss Vancourt she went to old Josey Letherbarrow's straight away an' there she stayed iver so long.
"Then I mean to move the old General round a little." "No," said Oliver, "the sled stands just right now; only you get up on the top of the pile, and I'll stay here." "No," said Josey, "I'd rather stand here myself." So the boys continued at work a few minutes longer, each being in the other's way. At length, Josey said again,
"Why, yes, a little," said Josey, "now the sun has gone, and the wind has come." "Well, then," said Jonas, "get down in the bottom of the sleigh, and I'll cover you up with buffaloes." So Josey crept down into the bottom of the sleigh, and Jonas covered him up; and he found his place very warm and comfortable. "How do you like your place?" said Jonas.
Don't ye know it's onlucky to talk about ill-luck?" "No, I don't know nothin' o' the sort," replied Josey, "Luck there is, and ill-luck, an' ye can talk as ye like about one or t'other, it don't make no difference. An' there's some things as comes straight from the Lord, and there's others what comes straight from the devil, an' ye've got to take them as they comes.
