Corinne and Yvonne as they had lain every night since their earliest childhood. "Ah! oh! h'nn!" Mlle. Corinne sprang to an elbow, nervously whispering: "What is it?" "My back do'," he murmured, "stan'in' opem." "Oh, little boy, no, it cannot be! I bolt' it laz' evening when you was praying. You know?" "Yass'm, but it opem now; Marie Madeleine dess gone out thu it." Mlle.
They say Jim Starbuck kin preach all round him." "Bet Jim kin whup him," said Jasper. "Now, Jasper," his wife spoke up, "why do you allus want to talk about fightin', an' among preachers at that?" "I ain't allus doin' that, Margaret. I happened to mention Jim because fightin' was about the hardest temptation he had to give up, bein' a Starbuck. But, Laz, the preacher over thar is good."
"I understand. You don't want to die with 'em on. But I wouldn't give him any of the advantage." "No, Laz, fur the man that gives the mad dog any of the advantage is almost shore to git bit. An' I don't want Jim to know any mo' about this comin' trouble than he kin help." "I reckon not, Jasper. It's sorter noised about that he's a pinin' for the lady from off yander."
Instantly Laz became animated, but without a change of countenance: "Say, ricolleck that feller lived over our way, had a white hoss one day come along and " The cup ran over. "You ain't very good at shoutin', air you?" "Whoa," said Laz. Jasper tilted the jug to his own lips and Laz drained the cup. Starbuck made a motion with the jug toward Margaret and she shook her head with a shudder.
Again, if Nergal is the Man-Lion, his association in the buildings with the Man-Bull would be exactly parallel with the conjunction, which we so constantly find, between him and Nin in the inscriptions. Nergal had a wife, called Laz, of whom, however, nothing is known beyond her name. It is uncertain which among the emblems of the gods appertains to him. ISHTAR, or NANA.
When Jasper's "haul" had got out of the wagon, and while the women were shaking out their skirts, Laz Spencer came along in jacket and shrunken trousers. "Laz," said Jasper, "you ought to sue that peddler. Yo' britches hain't shrunk the same. One leg's shorter than tuther." "So I hearn," Laz replied, looking first at one leg and then at the other.
"How do you know?" Margaret struck in. "You went to sleep." "Yes," said Jasper, "but he woke me up a time or two, and it takes a putty good one to do that. The last feller they had over thar didn't; he jest let me sleep an' dream one day I dreamed I was a killin' of a wild cat an' I come mighty nigh a breakin' up the meetin'. But this new man is a high flyer, Laz.
"Yo' mother still a eatin' of spoon vidults, Laz?" "No, doc' he 'lows she kin eat knife an' fork stuff now." "Any news over yo' way?" "Nuthin' wuth dividin'. Doc' he sewed Patterson up an' 'lows he may git well." "Why, what's the matter with Patterson?" "Sam Perdue cut him with a knife." "Fur pity's sake," Margaret exclaimed. "I ain't hearn about it," said Jasper.
To the same class belong Sheruha, the wife of Asshur; Anata or Anuta, the wife of Anu; Dav-Kina, the wife of Hea or Hoa; Shales, the wife of Vul or Iva; Zir-banit, the wife of Merodach; and Laz, the wife of Nergal. Nin, the Assyrian Hercules, and Sin, the Moon-god, have also wives, whose proper names are unknown, but who are entitled respectively "the Queen of the Land" and "the great Lady."
Margaret protested, but a word from Mrs. Mayfield assured him that privilege, and he strode away, humming as he went. Laz and Mag "santered" off, Sim sprawled out to sleep, Tom and Lou bird-peeped at each other and Jim and Mrs. Mayfield sat on a log in a lace-work of sun and shade. "This has been one of the happiest days of my life," she said.
