He had political yearnin's and wanted to set in the Senate, but as I stood firm as iron again that idee his linement grew almost frenzied, and sez he: "Do help me, do use your influence with your President. He's afraid of race suicide; tell him I'm the father of forty-seven children will not that touch his heart?"
Lorinda's linement looked dark and forbiddin' as Polly stated in her gentle, but firm way this ultimatum. Lorinda hated the idee of Polly's jinin' in what she called onwomanly and immodest doin's, but I looked beamin'ly at her and gloried in her principles.
He looked real bad, he hadn't thought so fur, and I went on, "Don't you know it would make the sewin' machine go so hard that no woman could run it a minute, let alone for days and weeks?" His linement fell two or three inches. I see he gin up it needed more strength to run it. "And it looks like furiation too," sez I. "Look!" He snapped out, "What do you spoze I care for looks!"
As he bent over me, and I see his dissolute linement and mean, I groaned out, "Oh Josiah, is it thus we meet?" "We meet as Highlariers!" sez he gayly, and bent still closter, I spozed he wuz goin' to kiss me. And so philosophical is my mind asleep or awake, I thought even then, the law couldn't touch him for it if he did.
She wanted you to drink nothin' stronger than root-beer when you had company to dinner, she offerin' to send you a receipt for it from Jonesville; and she wanted her rights, and she wanted 'em all this week without fail." He sithed hard. And never did I see a linement fall further than his linement fell. I pitied him. I see it wus a hard stent for him, to do it in the time she had sot.
He sithed hard, and I never see a linement fall furder than hisen fell, and kep' a-fallin'. I pitied him, I see it wuz a hard stent for him to do it in the time she had sot, and he so fleshy too. But knowin' how much wuz at the stake, and how the fate of Serepta and wimmen wuz tremblin' in the balances, I spread them errents out before him.
And I told him how girls and boys, hardly out of pantalettes and knee breeches, could git married in five minutes, but have to spend months and money to break the ties so easily made and prove they are morally fit to care for the children born of that careless five minute ceremony. His linement looked scornful at the idee.
With dignity and courtesy and prudence. And we have been proud of you, Josiah and me both have." He brightened up: he had been afraid, I could see, that we wuzn't suited with him. And it took a load offen him. His linement looked clearer than it had, and brighter. "And now," says I, sithin' a little, "I have got to do Dorlesky's errents." He, too, sithed. His linement fell.
"Well," said Josiah, with a dark, forebodin' look on his linement, "we shall see." "Yes," sez I, with a real radiant look into the future. "We shall see, Josiah." But he didn't have no idea of the beautiful prophetic vision I beheld with the eyes of my sperit.
I liked his linement first-rate and believe he is a likely man, and I felt that it would encourage him to hear me say so, and also I felt that there wuz some things that I wanted to advise him for his good. So I advanced to the side of the carriage door and sez, holdin' out my hand in a cordial way: "Good mornin', Mr. Pope; I am glad to see you lookin' so well."
