The little room where we sat was hot and overcrowded, and the thought was running in my mind continually. "Poor, restless Wallencampers! and how happy Mr. 'Lihu is not to have any connection with his funeral."
"By and by, all of a sudden, 'Lihu looked up at me different, with his eyes wide open, so that for a minute, I was most fool enough to think 'Lihu was gittin' well, and he smiled as though he wanted to say something. So I leant over. 'I know somebody, he says, as slow as that, for he was all worn out.
And Lihu, seein' we looked cold at him, and bein' sensitive, and havin' a hard cold, he said "he guessed he would go over to the drug-store and git some hoarhoun candy for his cough." So he went out. And then Miss Cork spoke up, and sez she "How it would look in the eyes of the other nations to have us a breakin' Sundays after keepin' 'em pure and holy for all these years."
"So I got close to his ear and I says, 'You go to sleep, now, 'Lihu, and I'll watch, I says; 'I'll wake you up when it's high tide, I says; but he only shook his head. So then, I says, 'Aint there none o' the folks you can trust to watch? And he shook his head, and so he moaned and moaned.
'Bobby Towns, another Mare boatman, had both his thumbs cut in warding off blows, one of them being so nearly severed from the hand that the doctors had to finish the operation. Lihu, a Lifu boy, the recruiter's special attendant, was cut and pricked in various places, but nowhere seriously.
She opened the Hymnal, and struck the leading chord, mid straightway, from the Wallencampers, all gathered now below, there arose a burst of melody as it had been one mighty voice. Mr. 'Lihu Dole Harvey's father lay dying, and all the Wallencampers were assembled in and about the house.
It's because I want a little more comfort while I'm a livin'. Seems to me there's more comfort needed for the livin'. "And ever since my Brother 'Lihu died, seems as though them last words o' hisn have been a ringin' in my ears. 'I know somebody that'll watch. Who? Jesus will! Jesus will! over and over again.
"Wall, I know," sez Miss Yerden, "that the only right way to keep the Sabbath is jest as we do, go to meetin' and Sunday-school, and do jest as we do." Sez Lihu, "Maybe the people to whom the law wuz delivered didn't understand its meaning so well as we do to-day, after the lapse of so many centuries, so well as you do, Miss Yerden." We all looked coldly at Lihu; we didn't approve of his talk.
