That's better than nothing, isn't it?" Peggy was looking at him very seriously. "I'd go on lovin' you even if if you was to kill someone," she said. "Thanks, Peg-top! Well, I've never done that yet, though there's no knowing how soon I may begin," said Noel carelessly. "Oh, but it's very wicked to kill people." There was shocked reproof in Peggy's tone. "Depends," said Noel judicially.
Had he been alone with Cash, he would have fought his way to town and brought help, but with Lovin Child to care for he could not take the trail. At daylight Cash woke him by stumbling across the floor to the water bucket. Bud arose then and swore at him for a fool and sent him back to bed, and savagely greased him again with the bacon grease and turpentine.
"'Thar, concloods Dan, 'is what I regyards as a parallel experience to this Tom an' Jerry. The lady plays Jerry's system from soda to hock, an' yet you-all can see in the lights of that thar sooicide how deep she loves him. "'That's all humbug, Dan, says Enright; 'the lady you relates of isn't lovin'. She's only locoed that a-way.
And he seemed, instead of lovin' to rile her up, as he had, to jest put his hull mind on the idee of the joyful surprise. But do all I could, he wouldn't tell me one word about what he wuz goin' to do, only he kep it up, kep a-sayin' that, "It wuz somethin' I couldn't help approvin' of, and it wuz somethin' that would happify me, and be a solid comfort to her, and a great gain and honor."
'Pears to me I'd let my oven cool a spell, and hunt up some homely, happy folks to write about; folks that don't borrer trouble and go lookin' for holes in their neighbors' coats, but take their lives brave and cheerful; and rememberin' we are all human, have pity on the weak, and try to be as full of mercy, patience and lovin' kindness as Him who made us.
She could see so vividly just how he would look in them. And the size she certainly would buy than three-year size, if she were buying for Lovin Child. And the little "Buddy tucker" suit that, too, sounded like Lovin Child. He must Bud certainly must have him up there with him! Then Lovin Child was not drowned at all, but alive and needing dig-in-the-muds. "Bud's got him!

"I ken what Maister Graham would say, daddy," rejoined Malcolm, at a half guess. "What would he say, my son? He's a coot man, your Maister Graham.
I've seen bales of it shipped out of this harbour, an' it looks like dried seaweed, an' smells like some serrupy flower you'd hate to have around. Lorson just loves it to death, and I guess it needs to be a good trade that sets him lovin'. But he keeps his face closed. Same as the feller that calls himself Brand. Oh, yes, Lorson's the kind of oyster you couldn't hammer open with a haf ton maul."
"My poor lovin' sister Nancy," said he, "was laid down yesterday morning with this terrible faver; she was our chief dependence; we could stand it out no longer; I could, an' can do nothing; an' my mother this mornin'" His tears fell so fast, and his affliction was so deep, that he was not able, for a time to proceed.
Josiah wuz better to me than he had been for over seven weeks, and his lovin' demeanor didn't change for the worse for as many as five days. But the wicked wrong wuz done away with.
