That give me a scarer the wust kind; an' when I told doctor haow things was, he sez, kinder jokin', "'Better git merried right away, then. Parson Dill is tew come an' see the old lady, an' he'll dew both jobs tew oncet. "'Will yeou, Bewlah? sez I. "'Yes, Hiram, to 'blige yeou, sez she.
"Was it was it a long time, mother, I mean, before he came back?" said Dorcas. "Who? Captain Waterhouse? Bless you! they was as good as merried for ten year, an' he was goin' all the time, an' then, jest at the last minute, to be 'racked! It's 'most always so, when people goes to sea," added she, in a plaintive tone. Dorcas meditated; she looked wistfully at her mother.
Little did I think, three weeks ago, as I set in my little store, what was wuth four or five hundred dollars, that before the month was out, I'd be merried. Me! Merried!" he exclaimed, "Me, as never thought of sech!" When Mrs. Ball entered, clad in sombre calico, Ruth, overcome by deep emotion, led her lover into the open air.
But I like to have him come once in a while when there is room at the table, as there is now, for it puts me in mind of the old times, when my old boarders was all round me, that I used to think so much of, not that my boarders that I have now a'nt very nice people, but I did think a dreadful sight of the gentleman that made that first book; it helped me on in the world more than ever he knew of, for it was as good as one of them Brandreth's pills advertisements, and did n't cost me a cent, and that young lady he merried too, she was nothing but a poor young schoolma'am when she come to my house, and now and she deserved it all too; for she was always just the same, rich or poor, and she is n't a bit prouder now she wears a camel's-hair shawl, than she was when I used to lend her a woollen one to keep her poor dear little shoulders warm when she had to go out and it was storming, and then there was that old gentleman, I can't speak about him, for I never knew how good he was till his will was opened, and then it was too late to thank him....
When this was read to the boarders, the young man John said he should like a chance to "step up" to a figger of that kind, if the girl was one of the right sort. The landlady said them that merried for money didn't deserve the blessin' of a good wife. Money was a great thing when them that had it made a good use of it.
There was a ro'd here lang or yer lordship's father was merried upo' yer lordship's mither, an' the law what o' 't yer lordship hasna the makin' o' is deid agen ye: that I can priv. Hae me up: I can tak my aith as weel's onybody whan I'm sure." "I will do so; but in the meantime you must get off my property." "Weel, stan' by, an' I s' be aff o' 't in less time nor yer lordship."
But the deedies hed all gone ter bed, an' the old hen war hoverin' of 'em, an' I didn't want ter 'sturb 'em," said Rufe considerately. "So I tole Pig-wigs ter meet me at the tanyard early, an' I'd fetch him one. An' ez his granny war goin' visitin' her merried daughter, she let him ride behind her on thar sorrel mare ez fur ez the tanyard. So he got hyar 'fore I did.
I hope God will bless all that set at my table, old and young, rich and poor, merried and single, and single that hopes soon to be merried.
It had hurt her daughter's feelin's a good deal, that the gentleman she was a-keepin' company with should be offerin' tickets and tryin' to send presents to them that he'd never know'd till jest a little spell ago, and he as good as merried, so fur as solemn promises went, to as respectable a young lady, if she did say so, as any there was round, whosomever they might be.
He did love fun, but he was a good soul, and stood by me when I was in trouble, always. He went into business on his own account after a while, and got merried, and settled down into a family man. They tell me he is an amazing smart business man, grown wealthy, and his wife's father left her money.
