The relation on Columbuses side wuz a middlin' good-lookin' and a good-natered lookin' man, no taller than Josiah, with blue eyes, gray hair, and short whiskers. His wife wuz a good-lookin', plump woman, some younger apparently than he wuz, and the daughter wuz pretty and fresh-lookin' as a pink rose. I liked their looks first rate.
Both dearly love to talk over all that's going on, and whether this or that village swain is paying especial attention to any one rosy cheeked lass, and if so "what's likely to come on't." Both mean well by this neighborly interest, and especially does Mrs. Sloper, who always advises plaits for stout women, "with middlin' fulness in the bust" for thin ones.
I see a good-lookin' young chap a-comin' up the path from the front gate with my Josiah, and I hastily but firmly turned my apron the other side out I had been windin' some blue yarn that day for some socks for my Josiah, and had colored it a little it wuz a white apron and then I waited middlin' serene till he come in with him. And lo! and behold!
He was a forlorn figure, looking rather as if nobody owned him. Paul ran upstairs. "My father's come," he said, kissing his mother. "Has he?" she answered wearily. The old collier came rather frightened into the bedroom. "How dun I find thee, lass?" he said, going forward and kissing her in a hasty, timid fashion. "Well, I'm middlin'," she replied. "I see tha art," he said.
'Only two coats! said Philpot. 'Them rooms will never look nothing with two coats a light colour like this. 'It's only goin' to get two, anyway, returned Crass, testily. ''Unter said so, so you'll 'ave to do the best you can with 'em, and get 'em smeared over middlin' sudden, too.
But I'll tell yu' this: a middlin' doctor is a pore thing, and a middlin' lawyer is a pore thing; but keep me from a middlin' man of God." Once again he had reduced it, but I did not laugh this time. I thought there should in truth be heavy damages for malpractice on human souls. But the hot glow of his words, and the vision of his deepest inner man it revealed, faded away abruptly.
Trembling, Old Heck tore open the envelope and silently read the message. "My Gawd!" he groaned again. "The worst has come to the worst!" "That ought to make it middlin' bad," Charley remarked soberly. "Ought to," Bert added sententiously. Parker crowded forward on sympathy bent. "Tell us what's in it," he said; "if it's sorrowful we'll be plumb glad to condole!" "It's worse than sorrowful "
I've changed it since we met last, though I hain't cut old friends like you. Robin an' Slidder 'ave been united, an' a pretty pair they make, don't they?" "Middlin'. 'Old on till I get that ancient stout party shoved in. Looks like as if he was a goin' in the opposite direction, but it don't matter so long as we can get 'im in. Now, then, sir, mind the step. All right? I say, Slid Robin, I mean "
We arrived at Saratoga jest as sunset with a middlin' gorgeous dress on wuz a walkin' down the west and a biddin' us and the earth good-bye. There wuz every color you could think on almost, in her gown and some stars a shinin' through the floatin' drapery and a half moon restin' up on her cloudy foretop like a beautiful orniment.
I have seen folks smaller than she is, and then ag'in we seen them that wuzn't so small. She is middlin' good lookin', not old by any means, but there is a deep wrinkle plowed right into her forward, and down each side of her mouth. They are plowed deep. And I have always wondered to myself who held the plow. It wuz'nt age, for she haint old enough. Wuz it Worry?
