"If I'm not mistaken, Tom, that's my uncle's plantation." "With all my heart, Mas'r Harry; but choked as I am with thirst I should like one of them pumpkins or some of the other outlandish fruits. Let's have a pen'orth, sir. My! what a sight though! I hope this is the spot. But there, only look, Mas'r Harry, did you ever see such sparrows? Look at the colour of 'em!
I never sulked in my life it's just one big flash and crash with me and then pouf the squall's over and the sun is out and you could eat out of my hand." Norman insisted on driving Faith home after supper and he filled the buggy up with apples, cabbages, potatoes and pumpkins and jars of jam. "There's a nice little tom-pussy out in the barn. I'll give you that too, if you'd like it.
The baby went to the pot and ate both. The children told her how it happened, but she wouldn't believe them. She said she couldn't be made to believe that one puny little baby could eat two whole pumpkins and it is very queer, when you come to think about it. "The next day she cooked three pumpkins, but the same thing happened. Then four, then five, then six. But it was always the same.
She was remarking upon this herself as she took that same hand and passed its tapering fingers deftly among the twigs of the tree-bouquet, arranging a leaf here and a berry there. Old man Gifford was not at home in his squat, low-roofed farm-house, but a woman shaped like a pyramid of diminishing pumpkins directed them down through the grove to the corn patch.
I said, "Yes, he is some pumpkins," meaning the same as "big bug."
And he will keep us busy." "If I cawn't keep the two of you a-humpin', though you are some pumpkins at bindin', I hain't worth my feed." "But, Barney," remonstrated his mother, "is he fit to go about that machine? Something might happen the lad." "I don't think there is any danger, mother. And, besides, we will be at hand all the time."
This proved an Englishman, and a smuggler; a sort of craft not apt to be over-charitable. Oberlus is severely whipped, then handcuffed, taken ashore, and compelled to make known his habitation and produce his property. His potatoes, pumpkins, and tortoises, with a pile of dollars he had hoarded from his mercantile operations were secured on the spot.
That afternoon when pumpkin gathering was over and Jimmy had invited Mary out to separate the "punk" from the pumpkins, there was a wagon-load of good ones above what they would need for their use. Dannie proposed to take them to town and sell them. To his amazement Jimmy refused to go along.
Looking back after we had passed through, I observed that the lofty upper story is converted into a dove-cot, and that pumpkins were put to ripen in some open chambers at one side. We passed near the base of a tall, square tower, which is said to be of Roman origin.
I have three pigs now and a China boy to attend to them, who also assists in skinning "orang-utans," which he and Charles are doing at this moment. I have also planted some onions and pumpkins, which were above ground in three days and are growing vigorously.
