'I want pictur's o' the snow and folks huntin' and that, says I. 'Not this time o' year, says the young lady; 'them's in Christmas numbers. 'That's what I've bin used to, says I. 'Well, we can order 'em for you, says she, but I couldn't mind the names.
"Ah's me! you're a winning and a lovely creatur', Judith; yes, you are all that, and no one can deny it and speak truth. These pictur's are pleasant to the thoughts, but they mightn't prove so happy as you now think 'em. Forget it all, therefore, and let us paddle after the Sarpent and Hist, as if nothing had been said on the subject."
Some Injuns is smart, an' gol ding their pictur's! they kin talk like a cat-bird. A skunk has a han'some coat an' acts as cute as a kitten but all the same, which thar ain't no doubt o' it, his friendship ain't wuth a dam. It's a kind o' p'ison. Injuns is like skunks, if ye trust 'em they'll sp'ile ye. They eat like beasts an' think like beasts, an' live like beasts, an' talk like angels.
"You see," he would say to Fred, "it's not that her figure-head is cut altogether after a parfect pattern; by no means, for I've seen pictur's and statues that wos better; but she carries her head a little down, d'ye see, Master Fred, and there's where it is; that's the way I gauges the worth o' young women, jist accordin' as they carry their chins up or down.

They say there's a law ag'inst them things; and if there is, I don't understand why the police don't take up them that paints 'em.

The point seemed aimed at March, as if he were personally responsible for the scandal, and it fell with a silencing effect for the moment.

Mis' Pennel was a-showin' on me a blue-jay she painted, and I was a-thinkin' whether she could brile a bird fit to be eat if she tried; and she don't know the price of nothin'," continued Mrs. Kittridge, with wasteful profusion of negatives. "Well," said the Captain, "the Lord makes some things jist to be looked at. Their work is to be putty, and that ar's Mara's sphere.
She turned upon him with sudden interest. "What will kem o' Wat?" "Oh, he mus' live in town whilst sher'ff, bein' off'cer o' the court an' official keeper o' jail, though he kin app'int a jailer." "Live in Colbury!" she exclaimed in wonderment. Justus laughed in triumph. "Oh, I tell ye, Wat's 'way up in the pictur's!
