Do you think we paint these docks for the fun of havin' you lubbers scrape it off? You'll pay for paintin' it over, sir that's what you'll do, or I'll libel your boat, and send a file of marines down and tie her up, and away he went up the dock to his office again. "'Gosh! I said to myself. 'Guess I'm in a fix, The boys stood around and heard every word, and I tell ye it warn't no joke.
It was awful good of you to paint my front porch. It has needed paintin' for some time now, but I never seemed to get around to it." "Don't mention it, Hepsey," Jonathan replied affably. "Don't mention it. You're always doin' somethin' for me, and it's a pity if I can't do a little thing like that for you once in a while."
I niver seed a bit o' animal paintin' to beat t' copy as Orth'ris made of Rip's marks, wal t' picter itself was snarlin' all t' time an' tryin' to get at Rip standin' theer to be copied as good as goold. Orth'ris allus hed as mich conceit on himsen as would lift a balloon, an' he wor so pleeased wi' his sham Rip he wor for tekking him to Mrs. DeSussa before she went away.
Ye see, sor, I'm handy carpenterin', or puttin' on locks, or the likes o' that, or paintin', or paper-hangin', or mendin' stoves or tinware. So when they told me a painter chap wanted me, I looked over me perfessions and picked out the wan I tho't would suit him best. But it's drivin' a cab I'm good at; been on the box fourteen year come next Christmas.
The other paintin', on the same side, is the work of Miss Fairchild, of Boston, and it shows our old Puritan 4 Mothers hard to work, a-takin' care of their housen and doin' up the work. Likely old creeters they wuz, and industrius. Opposite, on the east side, is a panel by Mrs. Lydia Emmet Sherwood another group of wimmen; good-lookin' wimmen they be, all on 'em.
Understand you, minister!" said he, "to be sure I do. I have been that way often and often. That was the case when I was to Lowel factories, with the galls a taking of them off in the paintin' line.
But while I'm alive she'll never have my consent to be a actress. W'en I was young they was looked upon as the lowest hussies. I'd like to hear what my mother would say if I had wanted to be one paintin' meself up an' kickin' up me heels and showin' meself before men in the loudest manner!" I concluded not to divulge my profession while at Clay's, and to boot, I held much the same point of view.
Where I work, they most allers say it's the cat, well! that answer may deceive some folks, but 't wouldn't me. Don't slop your paint, Gilbert; work quick an' neat an' even; then paintin' ain't no trick 't all. Any fool, the Lord knows, can pick up that trade! Now I guess it's about noon time, an' I'll have to be diggin' for home. Maria sets down an' looks at the clock from half past eleven on.
"Give me statuary that is ornamental in prosperity, and that you can eat up if reverses come to you," sez he. "Why," sez he, "there is one hundred kinds of grain in that one model farm of Illinois. "Now, if that picter should git torn to pieces by a cyclone, what would a ile paintin' be? A dead loss. "But that grain farm-house, what food for hens that would make such a variety.
Even in our trade ther's them machines for trimmin' wallpaper, an' now they've brought out a paintin' machine. Ther's a pump an' a 'ose pipe, an' they reckon two men can do as much with this 'ere machine as twenty could without it. 'Another thing is women, said Harlow, 'there's thousands of 'em nowadays doin' work wot oughter be done by men.
