"Blessings be on them who give welcome to a wanderer on a wild night like this," said the old woman. "And who wouldn't give welcome on a night like this?" said the huntsman's wife, coming forward with a peggin of milk and a barley cake in her hand, "and sorry we are we have not better fare to offer you."
Manual labour is all very well for plain men like me, with no gift but just enough brains to see into the realities of things to understand that we've got no soul and no immortality, and all that and too selfish to look after anybody's comfort but my own and mother's and the kids'. But men like you and Cantercot it ain't right that you should be peggin' away at low material things.
I jest kept peggin’ away at them tha’ rumswattel b’ar tracks and I followed ’em right up to yonder cliff. They go on from tha’, but I left ’em last night to come over by you. Come on, we’ll pick ’em up agin.” And off he started.
"You're a funny sort o' a feller, Cap," said Curly, "but if you're goin' to tan that hide you'd better finish peggin' it out, an' git to work on it."
An' some time I'll find out what there is behind that Dorothy Parkman business. But 'tain't till Christmas, an' that's 'most two months off yet. Time enough for trouble when trouble knocks at the door; an' till it does knock, jest keep peggin' away." And persistently, systematically Susan did, indeed, keep "peggin' away."
I tell you what, Colonel, many a time when I'm pretty well beat and ready to snap at anybody, I've looked at Nig peggin' away like a little man, on a rotten trail, with a blizzard in his eyes, and it's just made me sick after that to hear myself grumblin'. Yes, sir, the Indian dog is an example to any white man on the trail."
And I d'no what's goin' to be done. I guess them that don't believe in war must keep on givin' in their testimony, keep peggin' away at Public Opinion and constant droppin' will wear away stun. But to resoom backwards. We stayed so long in Japan that I couldn't devote so much time to France as I wanted to, for they too had a fine display.
Good airth and seas, what a crash! it seems as if she'd bang the instrument all to a thousand pieces. I guess she's vexed at somebody and is a peggin' it into the piany out of spite. Now comes the singin'; see what faces she makes, how she stretches her mouth open, like a barn door, and turns up the white of her eyes, like a duck in thunder.
She then brought forth a peggin of milk and a cake of barley-bread. "You must be hungry, sir," she said. "Hungry I am," said he; "but I wouldn't ask for better fare than this if I were in the king's palace." "Thank you kindly, sir," said she, "and I hope you will eat enough, and that it will do you good."
