Sez he, "I'm afraid of this sperit so I am goin' to git a man that can do what I tell him and ask no questions; in these conditions," sez he, "I can swing right out and do justice to myself." "Then you do have some few fears about your plans yourself?" Sez he, "Let me once git into a place where my mind can work, I'll show what I can do, let me once git away from meddlin' and clack."
Many of us was your sincere frends, and thought certin parties amung us was fussin' about you and meddlin' with your consarns intirely too much. But, J. Davis, the minit you fire a gun at the piece of dry goods called the Star-Spangled Banner, the North gits up and rises en massy, in defence of that banner. Not agin you as individooals not agin the South even but to save the flag.
Some are havin' a drunken spree, an' it's hard to tell what they'll do afore mornin'. My old carcase ain't wuth much, but some of them'll be wuth less if they come meddlin' around here. I guess, though, we'd better draw that curtain, an' shet out all pryin' eyes. Thar, that's better. Now don't be frightened, miss.
He didn't say anythin'," Grandma continued, in a slightly lowered, insinuating tone of voice; "about likin' to come up and see ye, when ye was able to set up, and you know, teacher, as I don't believe in meddlin' in young folks' affairs; but it appeared to me, havin' had so much experience with the men folks as I have, that may be he was kind o' hangin' around waitin' for an invitation for ye see, they're goin' to sail now in a vary few days."
"I don't know about that; I am tee-totally opposed to meddlin' with women, and I don't think it's manly." "Yes, but in this instance we are compelled, as it were, to take the girl with us. That changes the case, you know, very materially." "I'm not so sure as we need to take her. I believe she'd keep our secret ef we'd let her go." "Well, I don't; and so we differ. But that is not the question.
Only remember," he added, after a pause, "just this: it don't trouble me, for I've nothing to do with the Plan of Campaign only I don't want the Pope to be meddlin' in matters that don't concern him." "It's out of respect, then, for the Pope that you wouldn't mind the Decree?" "Just that, intirely! It was some of them Englishmen wheedled it out of him, you may be sure, sir."
An' jist think, gin it be fair for ae human being to influence anither a' 'at they can, and that's nae interferin' wi' their free wull it's impossible to measure what God cud do wi' his speerit winnin' at them frae a' sides, and able to put sic thouchts an' sic pictures into them as we canna think. It wad a' be true that he tellt them, and the trowth can never be a meddlin' wi' the free wull.
"If she deas, that's ma consarn; I'll ha' noa meddlin wi' my orders dost tha hear?" "Aye, it wor thirrty poond thraan awa lasst month, an it'll be thirrty poond this," said his mother slowly; "thoo art fine at shoutin. Bit thy fadther had need ha' addlet his brass to gie thee summat to thraw oot o' winder."
But he canna keep 'is spoon oot o' ilka body's porridge. He's fair daft to tear doon the wa's that cut St. Giles up into fower, snod, white kirks, an' mak' it the ane muckle kirk it was in auld Papist days. There are folk that say, gin he doesna leuk oot, anither kale wifie wull be throwin' a bit stool at 'is meddlin' heid." "Eh, nae doubt. There's aye a plentifu' supply o' fules in the warld."
"I reckon I had no business meddlin'!" "He tried to give sister a fish." That was unwise in Dan Margaret's chin lifted. "Oh," she said, "that was it, too, was it? Well " "I didn't see no harm givin' the little gal a fish," said Chad. "Little gal," indeed! Chad lost the ground he might have gained. Margaret's eyes looked all at once like her father's. "I'm a little GIRL, thank you."
