'That bhoy blew like a typhoon, an' the Tyrone an' we opined out as the Paythans broke, an' I saw that fwhat had gone before wud be kissin' an' huggin' to fwhat was to come. We'd dhruv thim into a broad part av the gut whin they gave, an' thin we opined out an' fair danced down the valley, dhrivin' thim before us.
"We used to go to school together, Geoff," the boy explained a little self-consciously, "she never kissed me before; she ain't the kissin' sort. I wonder why she did it to-night? I wonder " So saying, Spike turned and led the way on again until they reached the landing above, across which two doors, dark and unlovely, seemed to scowl upon each other.
So when we was all kissin' and bawlin' when I was goin' to leave them to report to the overseas detachment, I shoved it into her hand, an' said, 'Keep that, girl, an' don't you forgit me. An' what did she do but pull out a five-pound box o' candy from behind her back an' say, 'Don't make yerself sick, Dan. An' she'd had it all the time without my knowin' it. Ain't girls clever?"
Lord, Missus, said he, 'ab massy! But de parson married 'em, and said, 'Slute your bride! but he didn't move. "'He is so bashful, said Cloe, takin' him round de neck and kissin' ob him. 'Oh, Missus! she said, 'I is so proud ob my bridegroom he do look so genteel wid ole massa's frill shirt on, don't he?
I sprang to my feet, too frightened to speak. Instantly there was an arm around my neck an' a kiss upon my cheek, an' I heard neighbor King say, with a happy laugh, "It's only me, Miranda. I find I'm here as soon as my letter." "I thought, you might not be comin' back," I whispered, with quiverin' lips. "Why, my darling, I've come back for you," he said, bendin' over an' kissin' me again.
Liza, too, had foreseen the separation into couples after dinner, and had been racking her brains to find a means of getting out of it. 'I don't want 'im slobberin' abaht me, she said; 'it gives me the sick, all this kissin' an' cuddlin'! She scarcely knew why she objected to his caresses; but they bored her and made her cross.
It is on record, that she behaved no better than she did that evening when somebody found her crying in a blue calico; for Sam was overheard to say, as Polly hustled him off to bed, that, "if ever he was married, he guessed they wouldn't catch him makin' a fool of himself by kissin' a girl right before the minister! if he'd have been Lizzy, John Boynton's ears would have sung for one while; but girls were fools!"
And he hearin' neighbours' gossip, and it comes to him by a sort of extractin' 'Where's her husband? bein' the question; and 'She ain't got one, the answer it's nat'ral for him to leave the place. I never can tell him how you went off, or who's the man, lucky or not. You went off sudden, on a morning, after kissin' me at breakfast; and no more Dahly visible. And he suspects he more'n suspects.
In th' mane time we will call upon Gin'ral Merceer, that gallant man, to tell us th' sthory iv his life. "'I obey, mon colonel, says Gin'ral Merceer, kissin' th' coort. 'Not to begin too far back, an' to make a long sthory short, I am an honest man, an' th' son iv an honest man. I admit it. "'Good, says th' prisident. "'I says to mesilf thin, "This man is a thraitor."
'Taint but t'other day you was kissin' Miss Dolly on de plantation." "It seems longer than that to me, Aunt Lucy," I answered, laughing at Dolly's blushes. "You have too good a memory, mammy," said my lady, withdrawing her fingers from mine. "Bress you, honey! De ole woman doan't forgit some things." And she fell back to a respectful six paces. "Those were happy times," said Dorothy.
