I had already entered upon my part. 'The impidence o' that gyaird! said the lady bitterly. 'He needit a Scotch tongue to pit him in his place. He was complainin' o' this wean no haein' a ticket and her no fower till August twalmonth, and he was objectin' to this gentleman spittin'. The sailor morosely agreed, and I started my new life in an atmosphere of protest against authority.
Who be you?" "I am Mrs. Grace Gray. My companion is Miss Briggs. We are riding through the mountains for pleasure and business combined, and are camped with our party on the other side of the cornfield. What I wished to ask, if you are Mrs. Thompson, is, may we be permitted to remain there for a few days?" "Ah reckon ye kin if ye wants to if mah husband ain't objectin'."
On hearing the news that Okematan and Fergus had to give, the men most of whom were half-breeds connected with Cree families gave a cheer and voted for an immediate advance against the Saulteaux. This, after very brief palaver, was unanimously agreed to. "You'll not object to return with us, I suppose?" asked Dechamp of Fergus. "Iss it objectin' to a fecht you will mean?"
Fosdick, I don't want you to think I ain't polite or won't talk, myself. I'll do my share when the time comes. But it does seem to me that you ought to do yours first as it's your family so far that's done the objectin'. . . . Your cigar's gone out. Have another light, won't you?" The visitor shook his head.
"Why, sure," he said, his tone slightly sarcastic; "you cert'nly ought to know who you want to talk to. But you ain't objectin' to me settin' on this hill?" he inquired. "The hill is not mine," she observed quietly, examining one of the written pages of her novel; "sit here as long as you like." "Thanks." He drawled the word.
Knowing all about it, he was most anxious to appear not to. "You wouldn't object, Edward, would you?" queried his wife, explaining the proposition in general. "Object!" he echoed, with a well simulated but rough attempt at gayety. "A fine thing I'd be doing for meself objectin'. I'd be glad if I could get shut of the whole pack of ye for a time." "What talk ye have!" said his wife.
I mean, of course, to my smoking one," he added, explanatorily. "Not at all, sir." "It would be a good 'un her objectin' to a bit o' 'bacca," growled Mr. Marks, "when me and the customers smokes all day." Robert lighted his cigar with a gilt-paper match of Phoebe's making that adorned the chimney-piece, and took half a dozen reflective puffs before he spoke.
And yere I is, honey, and yere I stays. . . . Whut's dat you sayin'? De gen'l'man objec's? He do, do he?" The far-carrying voice rose shrilly and scornfully. "Well, let him! Dat's his privilege. Jes' let him keep on objectin' long ez he's a mind to. 'Tain't gwine 'fluence me none. . . . I don't keer none ef he do heah me. Mebbe it mout do him some good ef he do heah me.
She went right on to Toll o' Death Reef and busted up in an hour. Not a body ever was beached, for the current, tide, an' gale was all off shore. And it happened in plain sight of our windows. "Two months later," Cap'n Abe said reflectively, "I come into the world. Objectin', of course, like all babies. Funny thing that.
She said: "'Sadie, if they'd taken one half the pains to show me they cared and wanted to help long ago when I was an honest, self-respectin', hard-workin' homesick girl I wouldn't have been here for them to help now. And well, I never forgot it. That's all. It ain't that I'm objectin' to the rescue work it's a fine thing, and they ought to do it.
