Don't you understand NOW? Oh, Mr. Bangs, won't you PLEASE wake up?" But Galusha was beginning to understand. "Dear me! Dear me!" he exclaimed, nervously. "Do you think that Did she say she wished to see me, Primmie?" "Ain't I been tellin' you she did? Now you talk right up to her, Mr. Bangs. You tell her I don't want no wages. Tell her I'll stay right along same as ever and You TELL her, Mr.
Ha, ha! Primmie, you are well, there aren't many like you, I'm sure. Now I must go. Well, what is it?" "Oh, nothin', only I ain't told you why I think Mr. Bangs may be comin' down with dropsy. You see, Aunt Lucy this Lucifer one I've been tellin' you about she had it. I only remember her 'long towards her last. She wan't heavin' any teakittles at folks then; my savin' soul, no!
He glanced at Galusha Bangs, winked the eye which the captain could not see, and sat down next to Primmie. "Now then," said Captain Jeth, who was evidently master of ceremonies, "if you're all ready, Marietta, I cal'late we are. Cast off! Heave ahead!" But Miss Hoag seemed troubled; evidently she was not ready to cast off and heave ahead.
Galusha didn't object to them, except when they were TOO noisy at midnight or thereabouts and interfered with his slumbers. Primmie condescended to them and aired her knowledge of local celebrities and traditions. Captain Jethro ignored them utterly and Lulie was popular among them. Only Zacheus, the philosopher, seemed to find them unmitigated nuisances.
"Tell her not to play so LOUD," whispered Marietta. The captain obeyed. "Come, come, Primmie," he said, irritably. "Go easy on it, soften her down. Play low. And stop stompin' out the time with your foot." Thus cautioned Miss Cash played low, very low, and also very slowly. "The Sweet By and By" droned on, over and over, in the dark stuffiness of the crowded room.
Galusha did not appear to hear the question, and before it was repeated a knock, loud, portentous, threatening, sounded upon the door. "Let him in, Primmie," commanded Miss Phipps. Mr. Pulcifer entered. His bearing was as ominous as his knock. He nodded to Martha, glanced inquiringly at Cabot, and then turned his gaze upon Galusha Bangs.
She was still asking questions and calling for her ransomed spirit and the ruler of Israel; they could hear her do so even through the door. The exclamations died away in the direction of the kitchen. Miss Phipps, who had done escort duty, turned toward Galusha and ruefully shook her head. "I GUESS there isn't anybody I'd rather should not have been here just now than Primmie Cash," she observed.
I said it seemed to me she had somethin' on her mind, was sort of worried and troubled about somethin', and Zach " For the first time the assistant light keeper seemed a trifle less composed. "There, there, Primmie," he began. "I wouldn't " "Be still, Zach Bloomer. You know you want to find out just as much as I do.
Captain Hallett, after some final instructions to Zacheus concerning the turning lower of one of the lamps and a last order for stillness, gave the command. "All ready! Heave ahead!" Miss Hoag leaned back in her rocking-chair and closed her eyes. Primmie drew a long breath and the first bars of the "Sweet By and By" were forcibly evicted from the harmonica.
In fact, he had twiddled it so much that the pivot upon which it had hung broke and Martha had insisted upon his sending the charm to Boston for repairs. It had recently been returned. "What is that thing, Mr. Bangs?" asked Primmie. "I was lookin' at it t'other day when you left your watch chain layin' out in the sink." "In the sink? You mean BY the sink, don't you, Primmie?"
