"Say, missie," he exclaimed in a high-pitched nasal voice, "it ain't no use in talkin', ye kent put no tenderfoot t' boss the round-up. There's them all-fired Donoghue lot jest sent right in t' say, 'cause, I s'pose, they reckon as they're the high muck-i-muck o' this location, that that tarnation Sim Lory, thar head man, is to cap' the round-up.
The cart is there, too, that came just before you did, with the clergyman in it." "And where is Frank Muller?" "I don't know, missie; but he brought a round tent with him in the waggon, and it is pitched between the two big gums." "Jantje, I must go down there and find out what is going on, and you must come with me." "You will be caught, missie.
I feel ever so much happier this morning, Dorcas; and I'm very sorry I was so rude to Aunt Grizzel, for of course I know I should obey her." "That's right, missie," said Dorcas approvingly.
Dey eider not get back, or put off again in time." "But they will think that we were blown up, should they not have visited the ship first," said Alice; "and that will break their hearts." "I hope not, Missie Alice. Dey know dat I had got to take care of you, and dat I got head on my shoulders, and would not do so foolish a ting as to stay on board and be blown up if I could get away.
It depends upon that devil of a man, Frank Muller. Where are you to be found in the white house yonder? Good. To-morrow the escort will come in with the prisoners, and if I can get it they will bring the pass. But, missie, remember the five hundred pounds. If you do not speak to your uncle about that I shall be even with him.
"Be careful, missie, now do, there's a dear good girl," said Dorcas anxiously, an hour later, when Griselda, dressed as usual in her little white muslin frock, was ready to join her aunts at dessert. But Griselda would not condescend to make any reply.
"And yet the cuckoo says being big or little is all a matter of fancy. I wonder what he'll think of to amuse me next?" She was still holding up the shoe and admiring it when Dorcas came with the hot water. "Look, Dorcas," she said. "Bless me, it's one of the shoes off the Chinese dolls in the saloon," exclaimed the old servant. "How ever did you get that, missie? Your aunts wouldn't be pleased."
"Oh, Miss Robinette ma'am, I should say 't is wonderful how I gets on; and then there's the plum tree just see the flourish on it, Missie dear! 'T will have a crop o' plums come autumn will about drag down the boughs! I don't know how 't would be with me without I had the plum tree." "Do you really make something by it?" Robinette asked. The old woman chuckled again.
I had dem sandwiches all made an' on a plate. I left dem in de dinin' room to go git a basket, an' when I come back, dey was gone entirely. I want t' see yo' ma, Missie Nan. I ain't gwing t' stay on dish yeah boat no mo, dat's what I ain't!" "But why not, Dinah?" asked Nan, in some alarm. "Because dey's ghostests on dish yeah boat; dat's what dey is! An' I ain't gwine stay on no ha'nted boat.
I put dem down on de middle of de raft, and we damp dem well; den I take de skin of dis fish and put it on de top of dem, doubled many times; den I take some of de dry pieces of blubber, and I pile dem up; den I get some chips from de sword-fish, and fix dem close to de heap; and now I set fire to de heap, and de fish toast; and I give it to Missie Alice and Massa Walter to eat."
