He'll be a reg'lar town man 'fore long, I reckon, dandified an' sniptious ez the nex' one, marryin' one o' them finified town gals ez wear straw hats stiddier sunbonnets, though they do look ter be about ez flimsy an' no-'count cattle ez any I ever see," the sterling rural standpoint modifying his relish of Walter's frivolous worldly opportunities.
That man's near demented mad at the thought of you marryin'. 'Be the hokey O! he says whenever I go a-near him, an' then he starts laughin' an' tellin' me it's the great news altogether. 'I wish, says he, 'the oul' lad was alive. He'd be makin' hell's blazes for joy! Och, he's cracked, that fella.
Thet's marryin' him to you. An' I'm stickin' to it." "So will I stick to it, dad," she replied. "I'll go through with October first!" Columbine broke off, vouchsafing no more, and soon left the breakfast-table, to take up the work she had laid out to do. And she accomplished it, though many times her hands dropped idle and her eyes peered out of her window at the drab slides of the old mountain.
"Wonderful! but I don't understand things not bein' a marryin' man." During the last few days Jack's progress had been rapid enough even to satisfy Joseph. The doctor expressed himself fully reassured, and even spoke of returning no more. But he repeated his wish that Jack should leave for England without delay. "He is quite strong enough to be moved now," he finished by saying.
I hate sentimental bosh as much as you hate slang, and should have been a bachelor to this day if I hadn't seen Kitty jest as I did. You see, I'd been too busy larkin' round to get time for marryin', till a couple of years ago, when I did up the job double-quick, as I'd like to do this thunderin' slow one, hang it all!"
"An' isn't he an only son, Fardorougha?" exclaimed the wife. "An' my sowl to happiness but I believe you'd see him want." "Any way," replied her husband, "I'm not for matches against the consint of parents; they're not lucky; or can't you run away wid her, an' thin refuse marryin' her except they come down wid the cash?" "Oh, father!" exclaimed Connor, "father, father, to become a villain!"
"Because I've come here to this town and found a good woman and married her, and saved her from bein' fooled into marryin' a skunk like you, you've put up this job, hey? Because Cap'n Sproul has put you where you belong in town business, you're tryin' to do him, too, hey? What do you reckon we're goin' to do with you?" It was evident that Mr. Reeves was not prepared to state.
Art stooped, and kissing her tenderly, said "May God make me, and keep me worthy of you, my darling wife!" "Still, Art," she continued, "there is one slight drawback upon my happiness, and that is, when it comes into my mind that in marryin' you, I didn't get a parent's blessin'; it sometimes makes my mind sad, and I can't help feelin' so."
"An' he loves you, no doubt," continued the old woman with a laugh. "At least he's probably told you so." "No, he hasn't." "Oh-ho! He hasn't, eh?" "No." "An' never will," shouted the harpy triumphantly. "He ain't marryin' no Websters don't you think it for one minute. He's just makin' a fool of you. That's his idea of revenge your Christian gentleman!" She rubbed her dank hands together.
"Some time he'll forget one of 'em and give to the other, or drop 'em both and give to some new girl!" said Delia Weeks, with an experience born of fifty years of spinsterhood. "Like as not," assented Mrs. Peter Meserve, "though it's easy to see he ain't the marryin' kind.
