You'll rise right up to the top of the pot, you'll go clean over Peel's head, as your folks go over ourn, not by jumpin' over him, but by takin' him by the neck and squeezin' him down. You 'mancipated the blacks, now liberate the colonists and make Englishmen of them, and see whether the goneys won't grin from ear to ear, and shew their teeth, as well as the niggers did. "Here," said Mr.
I'll bet ye he'd have thim jumpin' through thransoms in less thin two minyits, f'r ye can put this down as thrue fr'm wan that's seen manny a shootin', that a man, barrin' he's a polisman, on'y dhraws a gun whin he's dhrunk or afraid. Th' gun fighter, Hinnissy, tin to wan is a cow'rd." "That's so," said Mr. Hennessy. "But it don't do to take anny chances on." "No," said Mr.
Towards evenin' I heard a most an awful yell, and looked round, and there was Eb shoutin' and screamin' at the tip eend of his voice, and a jumpin' up and down, as if he had been bit by a rattlesnake. "'What in natur is the matter of you, Eb? sais I. 'What are you a makin' such an everlastin' touss about? But the more I asked, the more he wouldn't answer.
"Whar's de use ob jumpin'? Dem yere fellers'll soon be back, coz dey ain't agwine to cotch dat man nohow. He can run like a streak o' sunshine, and likes as not dey'll all get shot. You'd better go on and coax 'em to come back while I stay here and waits fur ye." In answer to this, Leslie heard some angry muttering and mumbling, but could distinguish no words.
"Excuse me, sir," he said to the man, who eyed him curiously, "but will you tell me where I am?" "Wal," was the answer in a slow drawl, "ye'r' on Southport Island, and 'bout four miles from the jumpin' off place. Whar might ye be goin'? Ye look bushed." I lost my boat over back here on the shore, and have had a cheerful time among the Mohawk briers.
In my walk backwards and forwards, while I waited for Don Juan and the lawyer, Mr. Fowler, during their examination of the safe, I had come back to that iron grating again and again. It had somehow fascinated me. "These 'ere children," proceeded the inspector, "was playing round the gravestones, and jumpin' over 'em to keep warm.
You just set back and pretend you don't want to sell at all. Colton, he'll bid and Jed and his gang'll bid. I'll tell each what the other bids, and we'll keep her jumpin'. When we get to the last jump, we'll sell and not afore. Of course Mr. Colton 'll get it, in the end." "Oh, he will! What makes you think so?" "What makes me think so? Don't be foolish. Ain't he a millionaire?
I s'pose, now, you don't happen to know who's got her, do you?" "I know she's got a good home!" answered the Boy, truthfully. "But I don't know that I could tell you just where she is!" At just this minute, however, there came a jangling of the gate bell, and screeches of "Oh, by Gee! Jumpin' Jiminy! Oh, Boy! I want Pa!" MacPhairrson's gaunt and grizzled face grew radiant.
"Dan," he said to his son, "I was sot agin this young feeler when I first saw him on account o' hasty jedgments. Never you be led astray by hasty jedgments, Dan. Naow I'm sorry for him, because he's clear distracted in his upper works. He ain't responsible fer the names he's give me, nor fer his other statements nor fer jumpin' overboard, which I'm abaout ha'af convinced he did.
If you mean the right leg ain't plumb straight, I can tell you he was born so. That don't make no difference, for it ain't weak. Try him onced. Just as sound and strong as iron. Never stumbles. And he don't never go to jumpin' with yu'. He's kind and he's smart." And the master petted his pony, who lifted a hoof for another handshake.
