Nothin', nothin' at all! I says. 'Bless you, Laviny, says I. 'When you goin' to go away? And what do you s'pose she says to me? Why, that she wa'n't goin' away at all. That that Pratt thing has sold out his shoe store up to Sandwich and is comin' here to live.
"I've heard yarns about folks bein' spirited away, but I never took much stock in 'em. And," he added with conviction, "'twould take a pretty husky spirit to handle Laviny if she had her mad up. She Hush! hear that!" The sound of wheels was heard in the lane by the front gate. A vehicle stopped. Then some one called a hurried good night. Mr. Pepper's fear returned. "It's her!" he cried.
"Yes," he said slowly. "I'll forgive you, Laviny." "I knew you would. I hope you ain't been too lonesome. Did you miss me? Was you worried?" "Hey? Yes, I I missed you consider'ble. I WAS gettin' sort of worried. I didn't s'pose you'd go off to ride with with a feller and leave me all alone. But I forgive you."
"He's come to say good-by, I s'pose, and to find out where I'm goin' and how much pay I'm goin' to get and if my rent's settled, and a few other little things that ain't any of his business. Laviny put him up to it, you see. She'll be along pretty quick. Well, I'll fix him so he won't talk much. He can help us take down that stovepipe.
If you do I'll I'll march straight to Laviny and tell her that you asked me to marry you. I will, as sure as you're shakin' in front of me this minute. Now you swear to me to keep still. Swear!" "How HOW'll I swear?" begged Kyan. "What do you say when you swear? I'll say it, Keziah! I'll say anything! I'll " "All right. Then mind you remember. Now clear out quick. I want to think. I MUST think.
OR, if you really mean to be your own master, you can tell her you did it purposely and will do it again if she ever tries the trick on you." "I tell her that! I tell her! O Mr. Ellery, DON'T talk so. You don't know Laviny; she ain't like most women. If I should tell her that she'd I don't know's she wouldn't take and horsewhip me. Or commit suicide. She's said she would afore now if if "
Rogers and Lavinia Pepper had ceased to criticise, except as pertained to unimportant incidentals, and were now among the loudest of the praise chanters. And as Captain Zeb Mayo said: "When Didama and Laviny stops fault-findin', the millennium's so nigh port a feller ought to be overhaulin' his saint uniform." But what worried Mrs. Coffin was John Ellery's personal appearance and behavior.
She was glad of the shadows, they prevented her face from being seen too plainly. "Good afternoon," she said, opening the door. "Oh! it's you, is it?" "Yes," admitted Abishai Pepper, standing on the stone step, and shifting uneasily from one foot to the other. "Yes, Keziah, it's it's me, thank you." "Don't mention it. Well, is Laviny with you?" "No o, she ain't. She she didn't come." "Hum!
Er er Laviny, she's gone over to Thankful Payne's. She heard that Thankful's cousin up to Middleboro had died passed away, I mean and she thought she'd run over and find out if Thankful was willed anything. She said she'd be back pretty soon." "Very well. Then, as she won't be gone long, perhaps I'll come in and wait."
