"Sez Josiah: 'Why do we want our pleasant woods and fields turned into noisy bedlams by the whirrin' of wheels, creakin' of engines and the roar and smoke and dust of traffick? Spozein' we should make more money and dress better and own more books; money hain't everything in life, nor hustlin' in bizness; peace and comfort and mindin' your own bizness is sunthin'.
So ye jest stay where ye are till they've come and gone, and we're shut o' all that cattle. Are ye mindin'?" "All right, maw; 'taint no call o' mine, anyhow," returned Lanty, through the half-open door. At another time her mother might have been startled at her passive obedience.
He drummed an irresponsible tune upon the table and looked apologetic. "If you'll not be mindin', Brian," he began, "I'll go along. He doesn't know the roads " Brian eyed him with a familiar glint of authority. "I thought so," he said slowly. "I saw it coming. You're just in the mood for what Jan calls 'rocketing' and Garry's letter, of course, was the spark.
I wanted to go to Boston and clerk in a store, but the old man put his foot down, and here I've stuck ever sence. Git up, Dan'l! What's the matter with you?" The passenger smiled, but there was a dreamy look in his gray eyes. "Don't find fault, son," he said. "There's worse places in the world than old Bayport, and worse judgment than mindin' your dad.
"You ought to have a district nurse and inspector/ said Geneviève, amused, in spite of her indignation, at the dark picture presented. "Distric' nothin'," the other sneered. "There ain't nothin' here but rent an' taxes doggone if I don't quit. There's plenty to do this here mindin' work, an' I bet I could make more at the factory. They're payin' grand for overtime."
"Oh, I didn't only just mean Jack when I was talkin' about dogs not mindin'," explained George with embarrassed haste; for he knew of the Woman's fondness for the dog and did not wish to hurt her feelings, much as he condemned her judgment in selecting such a favorite.
Sneakin' after me, wa'n't you? Spyin', to find out what I was up to, hey?" He shook the wet paint brush angrily at his helper. Brown looked at him for an instant; then he rose to his feet. "Spyin' on me, was you?" repeated Seth. "Didn't I tell you that mindin' your own business was part of our dicker if you was goin' to stay at Eastboro lighthouse? Didn't I tell you that?"
Drove through L. A. hella-whoopin' an' not a darned traffic cop knowed it was Casey Ryan. You can ask anybody if I didn't do every thing possible to git in bad or give bootleggers a tip I was one of 'em. "You can't git Casey Ryan up agin' the gang you're after, Mr. Nolan. Only way Casey Ryan can git up agin' the law is to go along peaceable tryin' to please the missus an' mindin' his own business.
He was a nice well-behaved wolf, that never gave no trouble to talk of. I'm more surprised at 'im for wantin' to get out nor any other animile in the place. But, there, you can't trust wolves no more nor women." "Don't you mind him, Sir!" broke in Mrs. Tom, with a cheery laugh. "'E's got mindin' the animiles so long that blest if he ain't like a old wolf 'isself! But there ain't no 'arm in 'im."
Holcroft was the only fixed and certain quantity in her troubled thoughts, and after a little hesitation she replied, "I'll do what he says; I'm goin' to mind him." "Suppose he tells you to mind me?" "Then I will. That ud be mindin' him. I'm goin' to stick to him, for I made out by it better before than by mindin' mother and Mrs. Wiggins." Alida now understood the child and laughed aloud.
