"I say, don't wear out the door-mat." "Eh? No, m'lad, I won't wear out the mat. You see we don't have no mats afloat. I say! my!" The man bent down, as if seized with a cramping internal pain, and gave his right leg a slap with his horny paw, whose back was as hairy as that of a monkey. "What's the matter?" said Mark. "Matter! I was only larfin. My! you are like the skipper! Wheer is he?"
"Jist at that moment, her eyes being better accustomed to the dim light of the place, she see'd a man, a sittin' at the fur eend of the room, with his back to the wall, larfin' ready to kill himself. He grinned so, he showed his corn-crackers from ear to ear. She said, he stript his teeth like a catamount, he look'd so all mouth.
Somehow my coat was jerked off, the brest-pocket of which contained my pocket-book, and it parsed away like the brest pin. Then they sorter quietly hustled me into the street. It was about 12 at night when I reached the Green Lion. "Ha! ha! you sly old rascal, you've been up to larks!" said the lan'lord, larfin loudly, and digging his fist into my ribs.
He never does it to a 'somebody, 'cause that would cost him his place, but when a 'nobody' has a droll name, he jist gives an accent, or a sly twist to it, that folks can't help a larfin', no more than Mr. Nobody can feelin' like a fool. He's a droll boy, that; I should like to know him.
Purtier'n dressed-up gals in town Is peart and larfin' Polly Brown, With curly hair a-hangin' down, An' sleeves rolled clean above her elbow. Barfeooted stan'in on the rocks, A-pourin' milk in airthen crocks, An' kiverin' 'em with clean white blocks Jest lis'en how my fool heart knocks Shet up, my heart! what makes you tell so?
They're goin' to run to the station, rouse up the men, an' help to put it out! an' one of 'em says, `Jeff, says 'e, larfin', `won't we lend 'em a good 'and to put it hout neither! And the other grinned, an' says, `Yes, Phil, we'll do our best, an' it'll go hard if I can't in the middle o' the smoke an' flames, git a chance at Joe to . 'E didn't say no more, but 'e drewed 'is finger across 'is throat; but the one as 'e called Phil said, `No, Jeff, no, I'll split on you if you do.
"There's more bears raound 'n yer kin shake a stick at," said one of the muskrateers. "I wouldn't ricommend yer to stir 'em up naow, haowlin' like that." "I meant it for laffin'," said Cancut, humbly. "Ef yer call that 'ere larfin', couldn't yer cry a little to kind er slick daown the bears?" said the trapper.
"They was lookin' for lan'marks and pullin' and sheoutin' and larfin' 'twas kinder moonlight, ye know and one on 'em says, 'Seems ter me 't takes a cussed long time t' git to the Neck to-night, says he. I sot there an' watched 'em; knew 'twouldn't do 'em no harm t' pull, knew 'twas doin' 'em good an' steadyin' of 'em. By an' by, I ups an' says, 'Ship ahoy! "'Why don't ye weigh anchor? says I.
It makes me so kinder wamblecropt when I think on it, that I'm afeared to venture on matrimony at all. I have seen some Blue Noses most properly bit, you may depend. You've seen a boy a slidin on a most beautiful smooth bit of ice, ha'nt you, larfin, and hoopin, and hallooin like one possessed, when presently sowse he goes in over head and ears?
Our old nigger, January Snow, had a spite agin one of father's roosters, seein that he was a coward, and would'nt fight. He used to call him Dearborne, arter our General that behaved so ugly to Canada; and, says he one day, I guess you are no better than a hen, you everlastin old chicken-hearted villain, and I'll make you a larfin stock to all the poultry.
