Auntie Lammer, how did you get down here?" said Mrs. Gubling. "We hain't ready for you yet." "No matter," said Mrs. Lammer, "I thank the marcies I've got down safe, and I'm goin' to stay till I git my supper." "Can I help you?" asked Lottie, glancing curiously around the room.
Yours is the most unpromising Thanksgiving phiz I have seen today. 'Count your marcies." Elsie blushed so violently, and Mr. Stanhope looked so distressed that James finished his supper in puzzled silence, thinking, however, "What has come over the little witch? For a wonder, she seems to have met a man that she is afraid of: but the joke is, he seems even more afraid of her."
"They shan't part us they shan't tear us asunder! No, no, Owen, I will go wid you to preson! Oh, is id come to this wid us? You to be dhragged from home, accused of murdher and I I Father of marcies, keep me in my sinses I'm goin' mad wild, wild mad!"
I have to keep 'counting my marcies. To crown them all, here you are sitting up at this time of night, with a cap and wrapper on once more, instead of that unbecoming white gown; how pleased father will be!"
"Daddy," remonstrated Big Tim, "is not Softswan sittin' there at his marcy?" "No, lad, no. We are at the marcy of the Lord, an' His marcies are everlastin'." A faint smile flickered on the lips of the missionary at that moment, and, opening his eyes, he said solemnly "My son, hope thou in God, for thou shalt yet praise Him who is the health of thy countenance and thy God."
'Twouldn't s'prise me none if that redskin had a wheen more o' them sharp-p'inted sticks in his The Lord be praised for all His marcies! the chief's got him!" But Uncanoola had not. He came in presently, his black eyes snapping with disappointment, saying in answer to Yeates's question that the yell had been his own; that his tomahawk had sped no truer than the old borderer's bullet.
Excitement and motion kept the blood of our two adventurers in a brisk circulation, and prevented their becoming immediately conscious of the chill intensity of the cold to which they were exposed. "It is good to think of Almighty. God, and of his many marcies," said Stephen, when a short distance from the house, "as a body goes forth on an expedition as serious as this.
"The Lord be praised fur His goodness!" said the Trapper, whose thoughts unconsciously broke into speech. "The Lord be praised fur His goodness, and make us grateful fur His past marcies, and the plenty that be here!"
"Throth, he's not well, to-day, in regard of a smotherin' about the heart he tuck this mornin' afther his breakfast. He jist laid himself on the bed a while, to see if it would go off of him God be praised for all his marcies!"
"Well, friends, I reckon ez how we mought ez well thank the good Lord for all His marcies afore we go any furder," he would say; and he doffed his cap and did it forthwith. It was as grim a picture as any limner of the weird could wish to look upon. The twilight shadows were empurpling the mountains and gathering in dusky pools here and there where the trees stood thickest in the valley.
