You laid f'r me alone, because yit you wouldn't be willin' to give me up. Ain't that the size of it, pally?" "You've guessed it," I said, handing his own words back to him. "And now one more question, Dorgan: have you quit the crooked business for keeps?"
"That's the old man's affair," said Trunnell; "it may be his wife, or it may be his daughter, but any one can see that the fellow's pants are entirely too big in the heft for a man. An' his voice! Sink me, Rolling, but you never hearn tell of a man or boy pipin' so soft like. Why, it skeers me to listen to it. It's just like but no matter." "Like what?" I suggested gently, hoping much.

Concerning which some very brief notice, if intelligible, will suffice readers of the present day. Heristal, now called Herstal, was once a Castle known to all mankind; King Pipin's Castle, who styled himself "Pipin of Heristal," before he became King of the Franks and begot Charlemagne.
He was holding it in the palm of his hand, looking down at it intently. "Hello, what's this?" Bud held the mirror against the sleeve of his blue shirt. "Pipin' pelicans," he muttered, "if thar ain't some kind o' a pitcher on it." Ted went to his side and looked at the mirror. "I believe you're right," he said. "Let me look at it." "What do you make of it?" asked Bud.
My, but time flies! Well do I remember the day ma'am, when I drove you all across for the first time. These children wasn't big enough then to git up and down be thimselves. Now I warrant you they can just look at 'em, will you? But my! Ain't you ashamed of yourself" he spoke to Pin "pipin' your eye like that? Why, you'll flood the road if you don't hould on.
Don't you be deceived by what he may say now in in pique. Give him a little chance to adjust himself to the new idea, that's all. Rome wasn't built in a day, Sam as you've said."

After the fall of the Gothic power, Pesaro was incorporated in the Exarchate, and together with four other cities on the Adriatic Ancona, Fano, Sinigaglia, and Rimini constituted the Pentapolis. When Ravenna fell into the hands of the Lombard King Aistulf, Pesaro also became Lombard; but later, by the deed of Pipin and Charles, it passed into the possession of the Pope.
Down the Mississippi he crept, sometimes peering from between the great trees that flanked its steep banks, as the red Indians did long ago, to see the boats of the white man go serenely up and down that mighty swirling current, and stopping even in his self-absorption to feel a little of the beauty when the great river spread itself into the shimmering expanse of Lake Pipin, or to remember, at Winona, the picturesque legend that he had heard of the deserted Chippewa maiden who here threw herself from the overhanging rocks into the pitiless rush of waters below, and left only her ghost and her sweet-sounding name to the spot.
