I'd liked ter seen yer ma, but I won't disturb her, an' you can du ez well. Yer ma promised me a mess o' tea, an' I guess I may ez well take it neow ez any day." "Why, Miss Mimy," said I, "there a'n't above four or five messes left, and we can't get any more till I sell my socks." "Wal, never mind, then, you can le' me take one, an' mebbe I kin make up the rest at Miss Smilers's."
'Abeout what time may we look for you, neow! asked Ethan, as he was on the point of starting. 'Sometime this afternoon. 'Come in before dark, as me mither used to observe to meself, when I wint out shparkin', added Mickey. The boy promised to heed their warnings, and began firing up again.
"I am am staggered, Plum." "Why?" "This doesn't look like a lake, does it?" "Sure not, Jack." "Well, the last time I was here it was a boiling, writhing lake, and that mound you see yonder was an island in the middle." "Gosh all hemlock, Jack! Yeou don't mean it!" "I assuredly do." "There ain't a drop o' water around here neow!" "I know it and that is what puzzles me."
I accepted it, for I was in sore need of it. I could not refrain from asking him, however, if he had offered Miss Langham his deer-bone tooth-pick. "No," said he, "she's lent neow, anyway. John Seabright 's got her over to Herrinport.
It seems to be confirmed from every source; she is gone." "Thar' neow! I told 'em 't you'd make inquiries. I could see, says I, when I was talkin' to him 'beout it, 't he'd got waked up to more 'n common interest in the subjec'. Wal, I'm glad on 't; she'd sot there so long neow didn't ye hit a bone then, mother?
"Some 's that way," he resumed; "and some 's sarssy." I looked up incredulously, but his fostering, abstracted smile was as serene as ever. "Vesty, neow, stood down there in the lane this mornin', and sarssed me for a good ten minits; sarssed me abeout not havin' no nails, and sarssed me abeout settin' on the log a spall; stood there and sarssed and charffed."
"Dew you remember what I said to ye once," said he, "on the subject o' kile?" "Ahem! female affection?" I inquired gently. "Yes." "Some calls it that," said my twin-brother, beaming on me, "and some calls it kile. Wal, neow, ef a sartin person shows a dispersition to kile, let 'em! Let 'em," said Captain Leezur, irradiating my thin being with the glory of his countenance; "let em."
Wal, uv course, my looks wuz sp'iled, fur I'd been ez pretty'z Emerline wuz, you wuz pretty once, Emerline, an' I sent 'Miah Kemp word I'd hev no more ter du 'ith him nor any one else neow. 'Miah, he come ter see me; but I wuz detarmined, an' I stuck ter my word.
"I thinks I say un neow, an' you a- talkin' 'bout I!" However, as I stamped my foot and repeated my order in a tone of command, he, evidently much surprised and obeying from the force of habit in one accustomed to yield to others, crossed over the line, the broad country yokel grin with which he had received my first reply, giving place to a surly look.
"Yer master's some at swearin'. Heow many, neow, hes he like you, down to Georgy?" The boatman's bony face was gathering a woful pity. He had enlisted to free the Uncle Toms, and carry God's vengeance to the Legrees. Here they were, a pair of them. Ben squinted another critical survey of the "miss'able Linkinite." "How many wells hev yer poisoned since yer set out?" he muttered.
