There wuz one in the Holland exhibit, called "Alone in the World," a picter that rousted up my feelin's to a almost alarmin' extent. It wuz a picter by Josef Israel. It wuz a sight to see how this picter touched the hearts of the people. No grandeur about it, but it held the soul of things pathos, heart-breakin' sorrow.
I sus-sus-saw the picter, an' was on'y a-teasin' of 'im, like a sus-sus-silly woman." "Exactly. Yet he heaps coals of fire on your head by declaring that you are the best cook in Hertfordshire! Is that true?" Furneaux's impish grin was a tonic in itself. Eliza dropped the apron and squared her elbows.
Silver took a whiff or two of his pipe with great composure and then ran on again. "Now, you see, Jim, so be as you ARE here," says he, "I'll give you a piece of my mind. I've always liked you, I have, for a lad of spirit, and the picter of my own self when I was young and handsome. I always wanted you to jine and take your share, and die a gentleman, and now, my cock, you've got to.
Then, there was the canvass, representin the picter of a child of a British Planter, seized by two Boa Constrictors not that we never had no child, nor no Constrictors neither. Similarly, there was the canvass, representin the picter of the Wild Ass of the Prairies not that we never had no wild asses, nor wouldn't have had 'em at a gift.
So they brung this great picter of it. I spoze it is a sight to see it. But Josiah felt that he couldn't afford to go in and see the sight, and he sez, "It is only a hole with some fire and ashes comin' out of the top of it." I sez ironically, "Some like our leech barrel, hain't it, with a few cinders on top?" "Why, yes; sunthin' like that," sez he.
"Old friends!" Mrs. Fairfield stared amazed, and then surveyed the fair speaker more curiously than she had yet done. "Pretty, nice-spoken thing," thought the widow; "as nice-spoken as Miss Violante, and humbler-looking like, though, as to dress, I never see anything so elegant out of a picter." Helen now appropriated Mrs.
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.
Your sweetheart ought to look like Fanny. Got her picter, hey?" Stanton handed him Nellie’s daguerreotype, and he pretended to discover a close resemblance between her and Fanny; but neither Mrs. Middleton, nor Mr. Ashton could trace any, for which Mr. Middleton called them both blockheads. "I think," said Mrs. Middleton, "that she looks more like Mr. Ashton than she does like Fanny."
'I wish I had the talent. That was carved by a friend of mine, as is now no more. The very day afore he died, he cut that with his pocket-knife from memory! "I'll die game," says my friend, "and my last moments shall be dewoted to making Dennis's picter." That's it. 'That was a queer fancy, wasn't it? said Mr Tappertit.
There was something homely and friendly in it. Being but strange here, then, and coming at Christmas time, we took a liking for his very picter that hangs in what used to be, anciently, afore our ten poor gentlemen commuted for an annual stipend in money, our great Dinner Hall.
