In a fortnight we'll have her leaks all stopped, and be jogging along in your wake.
Now there are bad men in this world, and I want you to promise me to sell it to nobody without first coming to me for advice." "Promise?" said the girl, the wonder all ashine in her big eyes. "In course I'll promise that. But is there r'ally a chance of it?" "There really is." "Oh, if I only knowed, for shore! Seems like I couldn't wait!" "You shall know, to-night, or, maybe, sooner.
"I r'ally did think master would ha' dropt out of his chair at that. As for Miss Di, she was so tickled that she gave a sort of hysterical laugh.
"How kind o' providential it happened about his getting that property; he'll be a rich man now; and Mara, you'll come to grandeur, won't you? Well, I don't know anybody deserves it more, I r'ally don't. Mis' Badger was a-sayin' so a-Sunday, and Cap'n Kittridge and all on 'em. I s'pose though we've got to lose you, you'll be goin' off to Boston, or New York, or somewhere."
If a paddle falls you hear of it sometimes, ag'in and ag'in, as if the hills were mocking your clumsiness, and a laugh, or a whistle, comes out of them pines, when they're in the humour to speak, in a way to make you believe they can r'ally convarse." "So much the more reason for being prudent and silent.
Though I know, 'cordin' to all white folks' way o' tinkin', dar a'n't no hope, 'cause Squire Marvyn he had dat ar Jeduth Pettibone up to his house, a-questionin' on him, off an' on, nigh about tree hours. An' r'ally I didn't see no hope no way, 'xcept jes' dis yer, as I was tellin' Cato, I can't feel it in my bones."
"Why, colonel," stammered the barber, somewhat taken aback at the suddenness of the offer, "I hadn' r'ally thought 'bout sellin' it. You see, suh, I've had it now for twenty years, and it suits me, an' my child'en has growed up in it an' it kind of has associations, suh."
"We've got to hurry," and Enoch, nothing loath, followed him across the creek and into the forest on the other bank. "Do you r'ally think there'll be fightin', Master Bolderwood?" he asked. "I hope God'll forbid that," responded the ranger, with due reverence.
"`Yes, says he; `an' see here. "Wi' that he opens a bag he had on his back an' showed me a lot o' birds, big an' small, that he'd been shootin'; an' then he pulls out a small book, in which he'd been makin' picturs of 'em an' r'ally I was raither took wi' that for the critter had got 'em down there almost as good as natur'. They actooally looked as if they was alive!
Jinny wa'n't r'ally disappinted, but she allers insisted he was as good as drownded, any way, 'cause he sunk tree times." "Well, I tell you," said Miss Prissy, "there are a great many more things in this world than folks know about." "So dey are," said Candace.
