I'll come over this afternoon with my cultivator, and we'll tackle the corn and pertaters, and make such a swath among these green Philistines that you'll sleep better to- night. But ye're goin' to come out right, mind, I tell ye so; and I've seen mor'n one city squash come to the country with the idee that they were goin' to beat us punkins all holler." And he left us laughing and hopeful.
"Girls which they got D to F fathers don't got to cook pertaters," Morris commented shortly. B. Gurin shrugged. "For that matter, Mr. Perlmutter," he said, "I don't take it so particular about my food neither." "Say, lookyhere, Gurin," Morris exclaimed. "What is the trouble with you anyhow?
Egmont, and said "I can tell you where Mr. Wayland lives. He lives about three miles from here, on the Waterford Road. I knows you see, for I worked for him this fall, pickin' pertaters." Giving the boy a piece of silver as he thanked him for his information, Mr. Egmont came to inform me that, when I had partaken of the dinner he had ordered for me, he would accompany me to the home of my uncle.
I tell yer, there wa'n't much that got away from his bright eyes except the pertaters! he did n't bother them none." A prolonged chuckle and a loud laugh greeted this sally. In the pause that followed the stranger cleared his throat determinedly. "See here, gentlemen," he began pompously, with more than a shade of irritation in his voice. "Will you allow me to speak?
You stay right along here a day or so tell to-morrer or nex' day, anyhow an' I'll sen' you a whole bale o' cotton an' you can sen' back any change you see fit or none or none, I say. Or, ef you'd ruther take it out in pertaters an' corn an' sorghum, thess say so, an' how much of each. But what? "It wouldn't be right? Th' ain't no use," you say? An' you'll shore come back to-morrer? Well.
The pertaters are strong enough to take care of themselves for a time, but not long. I see you and Merton have been tryin' to weed and hoe them out at the same time. Well, you can't keep up with the work in that way. Take now this bed of beets; the weeds are gettin' even all over it, and they're thicker, if anywhere, right in the row, so that it takes a good eye to see the beets.
That means coffee, an' hot cakes, an' a bit of br'iled fish, an' pertaters, an' p'r'aps, if the old woman feels in a partiklar good humor, some canned peaches big white uns, cut in half, with a holler place in the middle filled with cool, sweet juice." Early in my married life I bought a small country estate which my wife and I looked upon as a paradise.
"W'en dinner-time come, en Hannibal wuz help'n de cook kyar de dinner f'm de kitchen inter de big house, en wuz gittin' close ter de do' what he had ter go in, his feet sta'ted ter bu'n en his head begun ter swim, en he let de big dish er chicken en dumplin's fall right down in de dirt, in de middle er de ya'd, en de w'ite folks had ter make dey dinner dat day off'n col' ham en sweet pertaters.
But you can git a good meal in New York, & cheap to. You can git half a mackril at Delmonico's or Mr. Mason Dory's for six dollars, and biled pertaters throw'd in. As I sed, I manige my wife without any particler trouble. When I fust commenst trainin' her I institooted a series of experiments, and them as didn't work I abanding'd. You'd better do similer.
Another day like this and your celery crop will be pretty small pertaters!" "And that would be a transformation worthy of the attention of all the agricultural schools, Henry," returned the young farmer, grimly laughing. "You got a heart to laugh at your own loss," said Henry. "There isn't any loss yet," declared Hiram.
