"'No, said James, the other, 'let us tell the truth. "So about an hour afterwards, Josy went into the house, and his father said, 'Josy, did you let the colt out? "'No, sir, said Josy. "Not long after he met James. "'James, said he, 'you had a fine time upon the hay, I suppose. I hope you did not let the colt out. "James hung his head, and said, 'Why, yes, sir, we did.
So the boys ran off to the barn in high glee, and were so eager to get upon the hay, that they forgot altogether to shut the door. When they came down they found the door open, and to their great alarm, the colt was nowhere to be seen. Josy, one of the boys, said, 'Let us shut the door now, and not tell father that we let the colt out, and he will think somebody else did it.
I know'd it as soon as I laid eyes on it!" "And what do you know about it, Josy?" demanded the widow, eagerly. "Cousin Job, this man may turn out a most important and considerable witness!" "What do I know, Mrs. Martin? Why I seed the deacon sign for the seals, and exercute.
"I think it did not," continued Madam Rachel, "and the farmer thought so too; for he very properly punished Josy, and rewarded James." Dwight seemed to assent to this rather reluctantly, as if he was almost sorry that Caleb had not been proved guilty of telling a lie.
"Won't that set aside a codicil, cousin Job, if so be the deacon has r'ally codicilled off Captain Gar'ner and Mary?" "We shall see, we shall see. So you was present, Josy, at the making of a will?" "Sartain and was a witness to the insterment, as the squire called it.
They are quite a simple people. Joey called David and me "Sonny," and asked David, who addressed him as "Mr. Clown," to call him Joey. He also told us that the pantaloon's name was old Joey, and the columbine's Josy, and the harlequin's Joeykin. We were sorry to hear that old Joey gave him a good deal of trouble.
Says Josy, when I was examined, the Judge axed me all about real estate; and, says he, Josiah, says he, what's a fee? Why, says I, Judge, it depends on the natur of the case. In a common one, says I, I call six dollars a pretty fair one; but lawyer Webster has got afore now, I've heerd tell, 1,000 dollars, and that I DO CALL a fee.
Come, confess now, like a dear candid creature, throw off your irresistibly bewitching mask, and own that your sentiments are all rhetoric." "Josy, dear," Adelaide would insinuate, "what a wonderful memory you have! so well managed, too! Now whom did you hear say that?"
"I think," the proprietor resumed, "that I hyeahed you say you was n't fond o' grape pickin'. Well, Josy, my son, I would n't begin it now, 'specially as anothah kin' o' pickin' seems to run in yo' fambly." Joe Hamilton never knew how he got out of that shop.
We forgot to shut the door, and so he got away. "Now, which of these boys, do you suppose, was guilty of telling a lie?" "Why, Josy, certainly," said David, Dwight, and Caleb, all together. "Yes, and yet the colt had not got away." "Hadn't he?" said Dwight.
