Douglass!" said Philetus, in a comical tone of deprecation. "It is an uncommonly fine lot of sugar trees," said the doctor, "and they stand so on the ground as to give great felicities to the oxen."
"No, but put them down and I'll make an omelette. Just get the things ready for me, Barby, will you, while I run up to see aunt Lucy. The hens have begun to lay?" "La yes Philetus fetches in lots of eggs he loves 'em, I reckon but you ain't fit this minute to do a thing but rest, Fleda." "I'll rest afterwards.
And their discourse will eat like as a gangrene; of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus; who with respect to the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection hath been already; and pervert the faith of some. Nevertheless the stable foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal, the Lord knoweth those who belong to him.
I ain't sure I haven't more hands than I'll want myself, but I think it is possible Squire Springer may spare you one of his'n. He ain't taking in any new land this year, and he's got things pretty snug; I guess he don't care to do any more than common anyhow you might try. You know where uncle Joshua lives, Fleda? Well Philetus what now?"
"Why I ha'n't done nothin' to it," said Philetus dismally, there was teu on 'em afore I started, and I took and tied 'em together and hitched 'em onto the stick, and that one must ha' loosened itself off some way. I believe the darned thing did it o' purpose." "I guess your mother knowed that one wouldn't keep till it got here," said Mrs. Douglass.

"Do you know, aunt Lucy, I have made up my mind that my visit to New York was a dream, and the dream is nicely folded away with my silk dresses. Now, I must go tell that precious Philetus about the post-office; I am so comforted, aunt Lucy, whenever I see that fellow staggering into the house under a great log of wood!
Cora wanted to choose a shaded corner in her father's ground, where they might daily tend the child's earthly resting-place; but Averil shrank from this with horror; and finally, on one of the Easter holidays, the little wasted form in its coffin was reverently driven by Philetus to Winiamac, while the sisters and Cora slowly followed, thinking the one of the nameless blood-stained graves of a battle-field; the other whether an equally nameless grave-yard, but one looked on with a shudder unmixed with exultation, had opened for the other being she loved best.
Douglass, and maple-sugar, and Philetus, and an unfilled woodyard, and an empty flour-barrel, and revelled in the pure ether.
"Well, Philetus, what are you looking for?" "Do, Mis' Douglass!" it is impossible to express the abortive attempt at a bow which accompanied this salutation "I want to know if the minister 'll be in town to-day." "What do you want of him?" "I don't want nothin' of him. I want to know if he'll be in town to-day?" "Yes; I expect he'll be along directly. Why, what then?"
