"'What'll ye have for tea, Leezur? says she. 'They ain't nothin' I likes so well, says I, ''s a mess o' codfish mixed up along o' eggs and thickenin'. Wal, Phoeby, she went eout, and she was gone a long time looked kind o' 's though I was gittin' into port. "'Nd thar I sot and sot; 'nd every minute 't I sot there I was gittin' surer somehow 't I was sightin' land.
His health is not strong, never since that fall. There; you have all I know, Captain Leezur." Captain Leezur meditated. The sun saw itself globed in a tear that fell on Captain Leezur's felts. "Moderation in all things, ye know," he added, beaming, not to distress me; "even in passnips." I mused with him in silent sympathy.
She can row a boat, or dew a washin', or help in a deliverunce case, and she 's r'al handy and comfortin' in death-damps." "All that! Vesty and nineteen!" I think I sighed. "Ye mustn't let her kile herself reound ye," said Captain Leezur. I looked up in dismay. Had he not seen my weakness of body, and my birth-scarred face?
Seounded kind o' as though ye struck a bone, but mebbe 'twas only the bottom o' the tray." "We've been threatenin' to clean dooryard," said Mrs. Leezur, looking about on a scene that demanded no more particular explanation.
'Pharo, says he, 'thar 's too much friction in her. So, by clam! he took out most of her insides and laid 'em by, and poured some ile over what they was left, and thar' she stands! She couldn't tick to save her void and 'tarnal emptiness. 'Forced-to-go never gits far, says Leezur, he says 'ye know."
"That off foot o' mine kind o' b'longs to the church, anyway," said Captain Leezur sweetly; "has for years; don't pain me much as I knows on, but she ain't seound: if t'other one starts off kind o' skittish she 's sartin to hold back " "Ye'd orter be thankful 't ye only has to contend with natch'al diserbilities," interposed Captain Pharo, "'n' don't have any o' these d d ructions played on ye."
We felt that there was never aught sparkling enough to be said after it, but parted in succulent silence, Captain Leezur with his oil-can, going down to compose the waters, while I pursued my less omnipotent way to the Basin "post-office." "Ef there 's anything trying," said Lunette, though with the peculiarly official air she always wore on post days, "it is dressin' sand-peeps. But thar!
"I don't mean t' say 't everybody in a squantum place is beound and destined tew be great or die!" said Captain Leezur, with whole-souled disparagement of such a thought: "no, no; they can't carry it on us so fur as that. 'Forced-to-go, ye know." "No, indeed!" I consented.
When I goes I goes by boat, 'n' I didn't see, when I was out pollockin' this mornin', but what the water 's jest as smooth as she ever was!" A low murmur of sympathetic laughter ran through the group. "I goes by boat when I goes," said Captain Leezur benignantly. "She is smoother, sartin she is. But some, ye know, 's never sartisfied. Some neow 's all'as shiftin' a chaw o' tobackker "
Sometimes I thought ser'ously whether I hadn't ought to take her and go around an' start seasons o' special interest with her all over the kentry; and then thinks I no, I'll stay here and I'll let 'em build new churches. So they kep' a-goin' up three new Baptis', four new Methodis', in a month's time." Captain Leezur was softly but strenuously sucking a nervine lozenge.
