"If it happened to be rainin' when you come through you'd have missed seein' it fer the raindrops. Where you bound fer?" "Lafayette. I guess we're off the right road. We took the left turn four or five miles back." "You'd ought to have kept straight on. Come 'ere, Shep! You, Pete! Down with ye!" The two dogs, still bristling, slunk off in the direction of the squat log barn.
Edith started up much refreshed and asked, "What sort of an evening is it?" "Well, I'se sorry to say it's rainin' hard and berry dark." To her dismay she also found that it was nearly nine o'clock. The boat had been late in starting, and was so heavily laden as to make slow progress against wind and tide.
And an evenin' party, I wouldn't take my oath I wouldn't go to, though I don't know hardly what to talk about, except America; and I've bragged so much about that, I'm tired of the subject. But a Swoi-ree is the devil, that's a fact." "Squire," said Mr. Slick, "it ain't rainin' to-day; suppose you come along with me to Tattersall's.
In the end they left Amelia an' run 'round behind the house an' if there was n't all the kitchen stove lids comin' bangin' out at 'em an' all the feathers from the pillows just rainin' down like snow!
"Well, when a man's in a feeze, there's no more sleep that hitch; so I dresses and sits up; but what was I to do? It was jist half past four, and as it was a rainin' like every thing, I know'd breakfast wouldn't be ready till eleven o'clock, for nobody wouldn't get up if they could help it they wouldn't be such fools; so there was jail for six hours and a half.
"Well, I reckoned it were a fooil's trick, but all t' same I put t' potate back into t' grund, an' went home. That neet it started rainin' an' it kept at it off an' on for well-nigh a week, an' I couldn't get down to my 'lotment nohow. But all t' time I couldn't tak my mind off o' t' lad that had made me bury my potate.
Then his lips began to curl until a smile overspread his face and half-closed his eyes. He leaned back and raised obediently a quaintly solemn, quaintly boyish treble. "I wa'n't guessin'," he averred soberly, "ner I wa'n't thinkin' it will. It'll jest be rainin', come sunup, and it'll be good fer till Wednesday, for sure!"
"Oh, I didn't expect ye to be up so early, that's all. All the hired men I've ever had waited to be called." "Why didn't you call me?" "Thought I'd let ye sleep, as ye had a hard day of it yesterday. And, besides, it's rainin', so we can't do much to-day." "Rain or no rain, tired or not tired, I am going to do my share while I'm here," Douglas quietly remarked, as he picked up a pail and a stool.
"Saints! but there's a dog beyant the bark!" he cried a minute after, as the pup crept over to him and began to be friendly, "I wonder is a mon sinsible to go to trustin' the loight o' any moon that shines full on a pitch-black noight whin 'tis rainin'? Och hone! but me stomach's that empty, gin I don't put on me shoes me lungs'll lake trou the soles o' me fate, and gin I do, me shoes they're that sopped, I'll cough them up o-whurra-r-a! whurra-a! but will I iver see Old Oireland agin, I don't know!"
"It isn't cold and it isn't rainin', either. I tell you I don't need it, Hosy. Don't tuck me in any more. I feel as if I was goin' to France in a baby carriage, not a steamboat. And what are they passin' round those those tin dippers for?" "They may be useful later on," I said, watching the seas leap and foam against the stone breakwater. "You'll probably understand later, Hephzy."
