It made Pony feel very forlorn, but he did not like to say anything for fear Jim Leonard would call him cowardy-calf. It was near sunset, on a cool day in the beginning of October, and the wind was stirring the dry blades in the corn-patch at the side of the barn. They made a shivering sound, and it made Pony lonesomer and lonesomer.
"It looks lonesomer than lonesome, but thar! when lonesome things do blaze out they blaze out the worst!" The colonel of the 65th Colonel Erskine came along the front. "It's too true, men. We've lost General Winder. Well, we'll avenge him! Look! there is Jubal Early advancing!" Early's line of battle was a beautiful sight.
"It's all the same, I reckon; some says gal, some says girl both's right, like enough. Anyway, what's her name, Tom?" "I'll tell you some time not now." "All right that'll do. Only if you get married I'll be more lonesomer than ever." "No you won't. You'll come and live with me. Now stir out of this and we'll go to digging." They worked and sweated for half an hour. No result.
"'T ain't wuth while to be making yourselves dismal here to home; the day'll be lonesome for you at best, and you shall have whatever we've got and welcome." "'T won't be lonesomer this year than it was last, nor the year before that, and we've stood it somehow or 'nother," answered Mrs. Thacher for the second time, while she rose to put more wood in the stove.
He never in his life had screamed in the night unless well, unless he did it in his sleep and didn't know it. So he had made up his mind to keep awake all of this night and see if in the morning any one would say that he had waked them up. He had watched the black shadows creep through the Green Forest and grow blacker and blacker. The blacker they grew, the lonesomer he became.
No small job, indeed, was it to build a satisfactory dugout one that was not conspicuous from every ridge for Indian eyes to spy out and warm and dry and safe. They started several before they completed one. "It'll be lonesomer for you and colder," observed Neale. "I won't mind that," replied the other. "We'll see each other before the snow flies, surely." "Not unless you come up. I'm no climber.
It got lonesomer and lonesomer right along, and it did seem to me I couldn't stand it. It was still worse when night begun to come on. By and by Tom pinched me and whispers: "Look!" I took a glance aft, and see the professor taking a whet out of a bottle. I didn't like the looks of that. By and by he took another drink, and pretty soon he begun to sing.
"It's all the same, I reckon; some says gal, some says girl both's right, like enough. Anyway, what's her name, Tom?" "I'll tell you some time not now." "All right that'll do. Only if you get married I'll be more lonesomer than ever." "No you won't. You'll come and live with me. Now stir out of this and we'll go to digging." They worked and sweated for half an hour. No result.
The next day, finding the time hang heavily upon his hands, he suddenly wondered why he had never thought to call upon 'Lena. "To be sure, I'll feel awfully to go where Nellie used to be, and know she is not there, but it's lonesomer than a graveyard here, and I'm bound to do something."
Jimmie the hired man was about the only friend around there I cared much for, and now he was gone fired, I supposed. Times got even lonesomer than ever. Bonnie Bell come in the room where I was setting one day, and she set down on the lounge and put her chin in her hand and taken a look out the window. I ast her what was up.
