Let's go back for our mules, fetch 'em away, an' see ef we kin clomb up one o' these hyar hills. Thar's a good skirtin' o' kiver on thar tops. Ef the anymals can't be tuk up, we kin leave them in some gulch, an' go on to the summut ourselves. Thar we may command a view o' all that passes. The sogers'll be sartin to kum past in the mornin', bringin' thar prisoners.
The trunks I left behind, but the limbs I packed up in the blankets that had been used to kiver them, I reckon; and with them slung across my shoulders, like a saddle bag across a horse, I made tracks through the swamps and the prairies for this here hut, which I know'd no livin' soul had been nigh for many a long year.
Ez ye see, it's roun'-topped, whereas them o' the Tekineekers, an' other Feweegins, run up to a sharp p'int, besides bein' bigger an' roomier. Thar's another sign, too, of its bein' Ailikoleep. They kiver thar wigwams wi' seal-skins, 'stead o' grass, which the Tekineekas use. Ef this hed been thatched wi' grass, we'd see some o' the rubbish inside, an' the floor 'd be hollered out which it's not.
Kiver me up with the blankets, and if he asks who is in bed, tell him it's the child. So Fingal laid down on the bed, and his wife had just time to cover him up, when in comes the Scotchman, and though he stooped low, he broke his head against the portal.
"Will yer allow me, Cap'n, ter take a couple o' files, and fetch in the Dutchman? The men 'ud like ter put a sod upon him afore them thievin' robbers kin git at him." "Certainly. But will you be safe? He's at some distance from the stockade." "I don't think them fellers 'll kum down they've had enuf o' it just now. We'll run out quick, and the boys kin kiver us with their fire."
"It's two men sellin' a patent iron kiver for to protect the graves of your dead from the sun an' the rain." "Who wants the graves of their dead protected from the sun and the rain?" demanded my mother sharply. "I said to Josiah, 'I don't know how she'll feel about it, but I can't do more than ask." "Do they carry a sample? What is it like?" "Jest the len'th an' width of a grave.
Why, boy, that's the only way to spell love to kiver self out o' sight, an' think only uv the peace an' well-bein' uv the gal whut hez given her heart intah yer keepin'. Hiram's a kind fathah usually, an' thet gal o' his'n is lak his very eyeballs to him; but thet very love an' pride he hez fur her will mek him more ovahbearin' an' obstrep'rous, ef she persists in open disregawd o' his wishes an' commands; an' thah's no tellin' how mean he might git.
I have heard assessors, with my own ears, use such words as these: 'Sich a man is rich, and can afford to pay, and 'sich a man is poor, and it will come hard on him. Oh! they kiver up dishonesty, now-a-days, under all sorts of argooments." "But der law; der rich might haf der law on deir side, surely?" "In what way, I should like to know?
The brute wur still comin' nearer; but I noticed that he wur a-gwine slower an' slower, every now an' agin risin' to his hind-feet, clawin' his nose, an' sniffin' the air. "I seed that it wur the red blanket that puzzled him; an' seein' this, I crep' closter behint it, an' cached as much o' my karkidge as it 'ud kiver.
Freshett, "and these men seemed to think the contrivance they was sellin' perfectly grand, an' like to be an aid to the soul's salvation. Nice as it seemed, an' convincin' as they talked, I couldn't get the consent of my mind to order, until I knowed if you was goin' to kiver your dead with the contraption.
