That's the way a good many folks commence, I know, but they don't generally wait till they're out of their 'teens afore they start. I was workin' for Mrs. Philander Bassett at the time, and she says to me: 'Rachel, she says, 'you're on the mendin' hand now, wouldn't you like a book to read? I says, 'Why, maybe I would. And she fetched up three of 'em. I can see 'em now, all three, plain as day.
Before his father could reply, a fumbling was heard at the hall-door; and, the next moment, Hogan, thrust in his huge head and shoulders began to examine the lock by attempting to turn the key in it. "Hogan, what are you about?" asked Hycy. "I beg your pardon," replied the ruffian; "I only wished to know if the lock wanted mendin' that was all, Misther Hycy."
"I've got to leave you now. I reckon I'll borrow the Dawneys' sorrel horse and ride into Gentryville. I've got the young hogs to sell, and I'll fetch back the corn-meal from Hickson's. Sally Hickson was just like you last fall, and I want to find out from Jim how she got her strength up." He put a hand on her brow, and felt it cool. "Glory! You're mendin' fast, Nancy gal.
Major Garnet pressed forward to where, at the team's left, the owner of these chattels sat on his ill-conditioned horse. "President Garnet! I hope yo' well, sir? Aw at least," noticing the lame arm, "I hope yo' mendin'." "Thank you, Brother March, I'm peart'nin, as they say." The Major smiled broadly until his eye fell again upon the mulatto. The Judge saw him stiffen.
Air yer rheumatics mendin' enny?" he demanded, with the condolent suavity of the would-be son-in-law, or grand-son-in-law, as the case may be. And he hung with a transfixed interest upon her reply, prolix and discursive according to the wont of those who cultivate "rheumatics," as if each separate twinge racked his own sympathetic and filial sensibilities.
It being the middle of the afternoon, trade at the small restaurant was slack, and Richard found both the old sailor and his wife glad to see him. "Tom's mendin' fast," was the old sailor's reply to Richard's question concerning the sick man. "We are goin' to bring him down here to-morrow or the day after. He's in his bearings again right mind, you know and I think as how the worst is over."
'Twere worth five hundred dollars whatever, and they only offers three hundred. I were busy mendin' my fishin' gear before I stows un away when Injun Jake comes. We talks about fur and I brings the silver out t' show he. Then I lays un on the table and keeps on mendin' the gear after he goes, thinkin' to put the fur up after I gets through mendin'."
"'S I sums it up, ef ye want to stay here and ketch the last fish 't God ever made, 'ste'd o' bracin' up and mendin' yer roads and takin' yer part in a shyer town, ye must do so." "Sho!" said Captain Leezur, regarding him with wistful compassion; "I hain't seen as fish was gittin' skeerce."
Again he turned his attention to his wound, adjusting the bandage, and he noticed a British soldier crawling toward him on his hands and knees. "Hello, matey, what you doing out here?" he asked. "I'm mendin' me bloomin' leg now," Butler answered. "Well, if you hadn't been out here you wouldn't have got it. Why didn't you stay in your trenches?" "Someone's got to repair the wire," said Butler.
I ain't got no one else that's interested in me. This woman's very good about mendin' of my clothes. Oh dear, yes; she don't grudge a little thing like that!" The lame woman hobbled from her post of rest, and began to make the bed with the frown that always accompanied a task which strained the contracted muscles of her leg.
