"Ay, land's good," Davie Paine muttered, "but the sea holds a man." Blodgett said naught. What dreams of wealth were stirring in his head, I never knew. He was so very pale!
Thus the four gossiped, and when Doctor Grell had taken his departure the three talked together about the river and its wonders. At intervals they went over to look after Prebol whose chief requirement was quiet, meat broths, and his medicines. As night drew down Drones turned to Buck: "It's goin' to be hard leaving the riveh! I neveh will forget, Buck.
"Everything is so kind of kind of free and easy. But wasn't it dreadful I mean the first time the first divorce, Mamie?" "Course, yes, course," Mrs. Caope admitted, slowly, with a frown, "I neveh will forget mine. I'd shifted my man, an' I was right down to cornmeal an' bacon. Then a real nice feller come along, Mr. Darlet.
"Why two?" he asked kindly, for Bo Peep's face was so full of sorrow he could not help pitying the boy. "Please, kaint I go with you all? I can cook betteh'n Miss Virginia eveh could, an' I can be lots of help an' you all'll need help." "But it's a stinger of a storm, Bo Peep," the doctor insisted, anxious to be off. "Neveh mind! Neveh mind! Lemme go. I won't complain of no stom."
"No," melodiously replied Flora, in full voice for the sentry's ear, but with resolute pressure on the door, "no, not at all.... No, I muz' not, cannot." "Then wait one moment till you hear me at work!" She waited. Presently the trowel sounded again and its wielder, in a lowered tone, sang with it: "Dat neveh trouble Dandy Dan Whilst de ladies loves de ladies' man."
I was purty mad at bein' dragged back to earth an' grumbled about it free an' hearty, but the cook kept croonin' to me the same as if I'd been a baby: "Neveh mind, honey, neveh mind; ol' Monody'll bring ya around all right. Take another sip o' coffee, chile, that's right, that's right."
"No, sir, but I don't feel well enough to go home Father I I t-t-told I told an awful lie, one time, about you, and " "Why, son!" "Yes, sir. I've been tryin' for seven years to k own up, and " "Sev O Law, son, I don't believe you eveh done it at all. You neveh so much as told a fib in yo' life. You jest imagine you done it." "Yes, I have father, often.
Why, boss, ain't yo' been watchin' the way that colt is workin'? Yo' kin bet 'em till they quits takin' it an' not be scared." "That's all I want to know, Gabe, and mind what I told you about keeping that big mouth of yours shut. If I hear of any talk " "I ain't neveh talked yit, has I?" "Well, don't pick this time to start; that's all." That night the lights burned late in two tackle-rooms.
If I was goin' after corn, I don't believe I'd say so." Mose listened, nodding from time to time. "Boss," said he earnestly, "I sutny always did want to see whut thisyer Egypt looks like. Outside of that, I neveh heard nothin', I don't know nothin', an' I can't tell nothin'. Beginnin' now, a clam has got me beat in a talkin' match!" Old Man Curry smiled and combed his long, white beard.
The good that's into a man keeps a-runnin', to git shut of the sin that's in him, an' theh's a heap of wrestlin' when one an' tother catches holt an' fights." "Hit's seo!" Prebol admitted, reluctantly. He didn't have much use for religious arguments. "I wisht yo'd read them books to me, Parson. I ain't neveh had much eddycation. I'll watch the riveh, an' warn ye, 'gin we make the crossin's."
