If I was needin' a meal and saw I'd got a well-off son-in-law " "Mamma," said Susan, "you're perfectly cynical." Mrs. Egg pronounced, "I'm forty-five years of age," and got up. The daughters withdrew. Mrs. Egg covered the chocolate urn with a click and went into the kitchen. Two elderly farmhands went out of the porch door as she entered. Mrs. Egg told the cook: "Least said, soon'st mended, Sadie.
"Where's your trunk, Uncle James?" asked Ruth. "I ain't a needin' of no trunk," he answered, "what clothes I've got is on me, and that there valise has more of my things in it. When my clothes wears out, I put on new ones and leave the others for some pore creeter what may need 'em worse'n me." Aunt Jane followed Joe upstairs, issuing caution and direction at every step.
"Bud told me about yesterday," he began, anticipating Sundown's leisurely and erratic recital. "I understand you found me on the trail and went for help." "Yes. I thought you was needin' some about then." "How did you come to find me?" "Got lost. Hoss he took me there." "Did you see any one on the trail?" "Nope." "Hear any shooting?" "Nope. But I seen some turkeys."
"He's nae waur; an' it's half six noo; it's ower sune tae say mair, but a'm houpin' for the best. Sit doon and take a sleep, for ye're needin' 't, Drumsheugh, an', man, ye hae worked for it." As he dozed off, the last thing Drumsheugh saw was the doctor sitting erect in his chair, a clenched fist resting on the bed, and his eyes already bright with the vision of victory.
"Don't go, lady!" he mourned. "Stay a minute!... I air a needin' ye.... I air afraid, so awful alone!" Tess spoke to the warden. "Tell Mr. Young I'm staying for a while," said she, "and will you please let Andy know about it?" And she sat down again. Through the rest of the afternoon, until the long shadows of Auburn Prison were lost in the gathering gloom, Tessibel sat beside the dying man.
Besides all of which you're doing me a real kindness letting me help you out. Ther's no favor to you. It's sure to me, an' these creatures which can't do things for themselves. So it would be a sound proposition to cut that 'but' right out of our talk an' send word to your lawyer feller in Leeson Butte for a 'hired' man. An' when he gits around, why well, you won't be needin' me."
And if ye ever want any more respect or obedience or love from the kiddie, ye better never let her know that ye didn't intend it for her, for nothing was ever quite so fair and right as that she should have it; and while you're about it you'd better go straight to the store and get her what she is needin' to go with it, or better still, ye had better give her a fair share of the money of which there used to be such a plenty, and let her get her things herself, for she's that tasty nobody can beat her when she's got anything to do with."
"Ay, lad, I'm thinkin' that we had best stand by the general, for he may be needin' us before this mornin's work is done, an' we sha'n't be takin' a great deal of time from Jacob, because, in case of arrivin' before Colonel Gansevoort is ready for us, the scrimmage will soon be over."
Maybe he's gone along to the gals. Have a drink?" "No yes, give us a horn of rye." The man behind the bar pushed the bottle across. "What you needin' him for?" he asked with apparent unconcern. Pete snatched at his drink. "That ain't your affair," he retorted surlily. "Sure it ain't. I jest asked casual." Pete banged his empty glass on the counter.
If it canna do withoot parokial relief, lat it into the puirhoose. That's what they wud do wi' you an' me if we was needin' on the pairis. What d'ye think o' that? Then there's the toon's wall an' the herbir. Weel, there's no muckle in ony o' them. There's hardly ony watter i' the teen, an' there's naething but watter i' the tither.
