The little man nodded cheery greeting to the showman, cried his usual "Hullo, Cousin Aaron!" to the surly skipper, bobbed off his van, and proceeded to unharness. "Well," sighed Hiram, resignedly, "guest Number One for supper, lodgin', and breakfast nine shillin's and hossbait extry. 'Ev'ry little helps, as old Bragg said when he swallowed the hoss-fly."
"Nay now, ye see, I never was one for travellin' I've never been so far as Darchester, not once all the time I were" he jerked his thumb over his shoulder "outside." "Well, your lodgin' be only took on trial, so to speak, to see how ye do like it," said another man. "Ye can change it so soon as ye please, and move here and there just as ye fancy. A fine life I'd give summat to be you."
And the question is, Am I to stop on here, or am I to look out for another lodgin'? You see I've been a good many weeks with you now, an' you've had a fair taste of me, so to speak. I know I'm a rough sort o' fish for the like o' you to have to do with, and, like some o' the hermit crabs, rather too big for my shell, so if you find me awkward or uncomfortable don't hesitate to say so.
We heerd o' ye many a time, and o' the good lodgin' and supper the sun shine upon ye ye give to the poor Irish on their thravels. Thus answers the Irishwoman. 'You tell one another then! And this is why we have more calls than any one else! 'The Lord love ye, and why wouldn't we? 'Tis the good as always gets the blessin'.
"All that you've said," she replied, "is very fine; but in regard o' the bag-pipes, an' Miss Granua Mulcahy's squeezin' the music out o' thim why, if it plased God to bring my son to the staff an' bag a common beggar indeed, in that case, Miss Granua's bagpipes might sarve both o' thim, an' help, maybe, to get them a night's lodgin' or so; but until that time comes, if you respect your niece, you'll burn her bagpipes, dhrone, chanther, an' all.
"'Whatsoe'er you find to do, quoted Keturah at sewing-circle meeting, 'do it then with all your might! That's a good Sabbath-school hymn tune and it's good sense besides. I intend to make it my life work to run just as complete a a eatin' and lodgin' establishment as I can. If, when I'm laid to rest, they can put onto my gravestone, 'She run the perfect boardin' house, I'LL be satisfied."
"I reckon as how it don't consarn you whether I look sour or sweet what you want is a night's lodgin', and you've got it, so don't trouble me no more." "Very sorry, but I shall," said Jackson, secretly congratulating himself that, now he had got the tongue of his host in motion, he had a fair chance of keeping it so. "I must trouble you for some bread, and whatever else your larder may afford.
"It's the News-boys' Lodgin' House, on Fulton Street," said Dick, "up over the 'Sun' office. It's a good place. I don't know what us boys would do without it. They give you supper for six cents, and a bed for five cents more." "I suppose some boys don't even have the five cents to pay, do they?" "They'll trust the boys," said Dick. "But I don't like to get trusted.
Ur's lodgin' up to wold Varmer Moore's, an' ur's that vond o' the zay, the vishermen do tell me, as wasn't never any gen'leman like un." I tossed off my ginger-beer, jumped on to my machine, and followed the retreating brown back of Mr.
"Ay," said the father, "we have been up and down the loch, and around the far point, but not for boardin' or lodgin' the night, nor otherwise conteenuing or parteecipating. I have explained to Mr. Gray that we must return to our own home and our own porridge at evening, and he has agreed, and even come with us. He's a decent enough lad, and not above instructin', but extraordinar' extravagant."
