The rain began to patter down. "If you don't like to get wet, Chips, I'd just as lieves go and ring the bell as not," he added. A sudden sweep of wind nearly tipped the children over, for they had risen, undecidedly. "No," called Chips stoutly, to be heard above the blast. "I'll be Friday till to-morrow." His last word sounded like a shout, for the wind suddenly died.
After watching them for a while in silence, he turned aside; but he came back to drop a trembling hand upon the lover's arm. "I guess," he said miserably, "she'd full as lieves lay here by you." And she will be quite beside him, though, in the beaten ways of earth, others have come between.
I'd just as lieves stay outside." "So would I," said Dick, rather ruefully. The story was told over again, with such new light as Mr. Murdock had been able to throw upon it. "It's just like Micky," said Fosdick. "He's a bad fellow." "It was rather a mean trick," said Dick; "but he hasn't had a very good bringin' up, or maybe he'd be a better boy."
Lamb for taking away your nuts?" "Just as lieves." "Then, how do you think he would feel about your taking his nuts?" "I don't care!" "But, Hephzibah, listen. Do you know what the Bible says? It says, that we must do to other people just what we would like to have them do to us in the same things." "Then he oughtn't to have sot such a price on his meat," said Hephzibah.
I ain't a-goin' to have Mary Ellen worried. She's different from me. She went to school, same's you have, an' she's different somehow. She's been meddled with all her life, an' I'll be whipped if she sha'n't make a new start. Should you jest as lieves ask Sadie or John?" "Why, yes," said Isabel wonderingly; "or do it myself. I don't see why you care."
It exhilarated the schoolmaster, and he lavished stick after stick on the ravening flames. The maple hardened into coals brighter than its own panoply of autumn; the delicate bark of the birch flared up and perished. "Miss Susan," said he, "don't you want to see all the people in the world?" "Oh, I dunno! I'd full as lieves set here an' think about 'em.
I never see her riled by no sort o' thing; and it's not uncommon for me to be as full's I kin hold; but she's just like a May mornin', whatever the weather is. There ain't no scarin' her, either; she'd jest as lieves die as live, I b'lieve, any day." "I daresay she would," said Diana, feeling at the moment that it was not so very wonderful.
"Do?" said Tenney. "Let it set." Again they loitered, back and forth, sometimes on one side of the woodpile, sometimes the other, each with a pretense of finding the woodpile itself a point of interest. Suddenly Tenney ceased his foolish walk up and down. "Look here," said he, "should you jest as lieves go in?" "Yes," said Raven. "Only you'd better come with me. Get it over.
After watching them for a while in silence, he turned aside; but he came back to drop a trembling hand upon the lover's arm. "I guess," he said miserably, "she'd full as lieves lay here by you." And she will be quite beside him, though, in the beaten ways of earth, others have come between.
"Is 'guile' the same as 'guilt?" inquired Emma Jane Perkins. "Yes," the president answered; "exactly the same, except one is written and the other spoken language." "I'd just as 'lieves get 'guile' spotted as not," affirmed the unimaginative Emma Jane. "I think it's an awful foolish word; but now we're all named and our officers elected, what do we do first?
