"General Early is a valiant and able man, but I disapprove of his swearing." "Why, sir, 'Old Jube' can't help it. It's a part of his breathing, and man cannot live without breath. He sent one of his best aides with a dispatch to General Hill, who is posted some distance away.
Without a word he walked behind my chair and peered over my shoulder at the drawing I was making of the great Jube. He tapped the floor with his staff, placed it under his arm, sought his pocket somewhere beneath his cassock, from which he produced a snuff box.
Jube had become like a faithful spaniel, the spirit of his young master reassuring him so as to feel his only safety lay in obedience. As George and Bodine went down the street they were saddened by the evidences of disaster on every side. Even Meeting Street was still so obstructed as to be almost impassable for vehicles, and in some places the ruins were still being searched for the dead.
At the four corners there were gilded angels. The summit was surmounted by a statue of Religion and an angel bearing the royal crown. This jube, glittering with gold, was placed about one hundred and fifty feet from the portal. There was a passage under it to reach the choir, and the ascent to it was by a staircase of thirty steps.
When he found that Birt would only reiterate that Tennie "kem along unbeknown an' purvented" him, Jube Perkins gave up the effort at last, convinced of his guilt. And Andy Byers said that he was not surprised, for he had known for some little time that Birt was a "most MISCHIEVIOUS scamp."
"This is awful, my boy!" ejaculated Mr. Houghton. "Oh, this dreadful city! this dreadful city!" "The worst is over, I think. Brace up, Jube. If you are so anxious to save your life, step lively." "Jes hear de people holler," cried Jube, trembling so he could scarcely keep his hold, and he gave a loud, sympathetic yell himself. "Stop that," said George sternly. "Oh, Dr.
Basil embellished the imitation with a masterly effect of realistic growls. "Ef ye keep goin' at that gait, Basil," Aurelia admonished him, "daylight will ketch us all wide awake around the fire, no wonder the child won't go to bed." She seemed suddenly impressed with the pervasive cheer. "What a fool that man, Jube Kennedy, must be!
"Drap out'n the saddle, turn the critter loose in the road, an' take ter the woods," urged Ike. "They'll sarch an' ketch me," quavered Jube. He was frantic at the idea of being captured on the horse's back, but if it should come to a race, he preferred trusting to the chestnut's four legs rather than to his own two. Ike hesitated.
I've had a pretty how-do-ye-do about it this mornin', and have had to plank down handsum', and do the thing genteel; but Mister Landlord found, I reckon, he had no fool to deal with, nother. He comes to me, as soon as I was cleverly up this mornin', lookin' as full of importance, as Jube Japan did when I put the Legation button on him.
When George Houghton reached his father's room he heard Jube fairly howling in the darkness, and the old man groaning heavily. "Father," cried the young man, "you are not hurt?" "Oh, George, thank God, you have again escaped! This is an earthquake, isn't it?" "It must be, and I must take you out to some open space at once. Jube, shut up, and keep your senses.
