Lacey, Katy did, and that other infernal Katy didn’t, what fainted spang away at the sight of old Josh! But though she was so dreadfully skeered, the pooty color didn’t leave her cheeks an atom. Lightnin’ spikes! Let me catch my gals paintin’ and I’ll—" But he was prevented from telling what he’d do by Fanny, who clapped her hands and said, "Oh, father, you are a dear good man; may we really go?"
They'd done what they could to make it cheerful an' homelike by paintin' it green at one end but it was plain to be seen as the paint soon give out an' towards the top the man as was paintin' must of give out too, for he just finished up by doing a few circles here an' there an' then left it mainly plain.
The everlasting seas!" said the old fisher, man, rising And stretching upward and outward his bare, brown arm, "put them in a paintin'! Pairfect nonsense! Even-down sin!" From this conversation David went directly home. It was Saturday night and the boats all in harbor for the Sabbath day. The house place was spotlessly clean, the evening meal waiting.
Anyway," he added, "I'm going to resign next spring. Yes, Cap'n Whittaker, I think three coats of white 'll do on the sides here." "Lem's goin' to do my paintin' jobs," explained Captain Cy. "His price was a little higher than some of the other fellers, but I like his work." Mr. Tidditt pondered deeply until dinner time.

If the turpentine don't work, I'll try French chalk, magneshy, and warm suds. If they fail, father shall run over to Strout's and borry some of the stuff Marthy got in Milltown to take the currant pie out of her weddin' dress." "I ain't got to understandin' this paintin' accident yet," said uncle Jerry jocosely, as he handed Rebecca the honey.
If a man's puttin' his heart an' soul, an' blood, an' beef-steak, an' bones into paintin' picters, you can talk farmin' to him all day, an' he's dumb; but jest show him 'at you see what he's a-drivin' at in his work, an' he'll love you like a brother.

"Well, Tom, I hope ye'll get yer fill o' paintin' now." Tom's eyes beamed, but he made no verbal reply. Lucy followed him to the door as he passed out to the barn again.
I say you must have been surprised to see me paintin' the Daisy M. I've been tinkerin' on that old boat, off and on, ever since last fall. Bought her for eight dollars of the feller that owned her, and she was a hulk for sartin then. I've caulked her up and rigged her, after a fashion. Now she might float, if she had a chance. Every afternoon, pretty nigh, I've been at her.
"That picture which I started a couple of weeks ago is finished at last, and I want you good people to come and tell me what you think of it.
