"I wonder," she mused, as yet without suspicion of the trend of his suggestions, "how she come through hit all by herself thetaway?" The man's face twitched with one of those emotional paroxysms that once in a long while overcame his self-command. Then it became a face of shadowed anxiety and his voice was heavy with feeling. "I've done been ponderin' thet day an' night hyar of late, honey.
And when the wind blows and scatters about all the blossoms from your fruit trees, and you are a ponderin' over the mischief, a gall comes along-side of you with a book of poetry in her hand and sais: "'Hark! do you hear the voice of natur amid the trees? Isn't it sweet?
Ponderin' over it, I felt at last she'd either come to love that feller an' his religion, or some terrible fear made her lie an' say so. I couldn't be sure which. But, of course, I meant to find out.

I need not tell you that this chance is a poor one well-nigh a forlorn hope.

When you went to the squire to complain, squire saw a chance to get the Cap'n into a law scrape slander, trespass, malicious mischief something! Them lawyers are ready for anything!" "Reg'lar sharks!" snapped the selectman.
I've found right often when a feller's perplexed an' can't reach a conclusion, he goes to sleep an' wakes up with a clearer judgment. Once a mistake is made, it can't be unmade; but I don't want you to think that I ain't ponderin' this question."
