The direct question received only a stare of blank amazement from Ezram. "Why should I " he repeated, seemingly surprised out of his life by the question. "Shucks, and quit interruptin' me. But I'll say right here I've got my own ideas, if you must know. Didn't I hear that while you was rampin' around the underworld, you showed yourself a mighty good fighter?
Bring him home?" "Yes." "Fur de lub o' heben!" stopping short. "A Yankee captain in de house, an' Jackson's men rampin' over de country like devils! Dey'll burn de place ter de groun', ef dey fin' him." "I know." Bone groaned horribly, then went on doggedly. Fate was against him: his gray hairs were bound to go down with sorrow to the grave. He looked up at her wistfully, after a while.
Some of them gals is goin' to pay a mighty high price for just a few days of bein' married. It riles me to think of it." "I hadn't thought of it as you do," said Dorothy. "Well, I hope you'll forgive your Uncle Bud for ragin' and rampin' around like this. I can't talk what's in my heart to folks around here. They're mostly narrow-gauge. I reckon I said enough. Let's go look at that new saddle."
An' fr'm that time on till he's r-ready to tur-rn in an' sleep peaceful an' quite, not like a lamb full iv vigetable food, but like a line that's wur-rked ha-ard an' et meat, he niver stops rampin' an' ragin'. Ye don't hear iv Fitz lookin' worn with th' sthruggle. Ye don't r-read iv him missin' anny meals. No one fears that Fitz will break down undher th' suspinse. That ain't in th' breed.
"But," he continued, warming up, "when I think of the Indian powwow we had in this very spot six months ago, and what a mean bloat I was, going to the stub-tail dogs with my hat over my eyes, and what a hard lot we were all round, livin' on nothing but argee whiskey, and rampin' off on benders, instead of makin' good iron, and how the Works was flat broke, and how Dunderbunk was full of women crying over their husbands and mothers ashamed of their sons, boys, when I think how things was, and see how they are, and look at Mr.
"Dennis," sez I to my colour-sargint, "av you love me lend me your kyart, for me heart is bruk an' me feet is sore wid trampin' to and from this foolishness at the Gaff." An' Dennis lent ut, wid a rampin', stampin' red stallion in the shafts. Whin they was all settled down to their Sweethearts for the first scene, which was a long wan, I slips outside and into the kyart.
I must have appeared to doubt this good fortune, for he added "'Be a truth speakin' man i' the main, Jack 'lay over 'pon my belly, and spied a ledge fifty feet down or less 'reckon there be a way thence to the foot. Dear, now! what a rampin', tearin' sweat is this?" For, fast as I could tug, I was hauling up the rope. Near sixty feet came up before I reach'd the end a thick twisted knot.
Well, what we have we'll share, anyway. There's no use in contradictin' a bunch of hungry steers. Keep a watch on the phone, Pearlie dear, and find out which way they turn at Beckers'. We'll open up an oat stack for them, anyway so if they come rampin' in in the middle of the night there'll be something ready."
The loons had been o' the riggin, and flung a han'fu' o' blastin' powther down ilka smokin' chimley, and syne clappit a divot or a truf upo' the mou' o' 't. Deil ane o' them was in sicht, but I doobt gin ony o' them was far awa'. There was naething for't but get a ladder, and jist gang up an' tak aff the pot-lids. But eh! puir Robert was jist rampin' wi' rage!
We've seen more sport aboard this blame little packet than the rest of the Fleet together. Clear'd the Channel, be God, we ave! prowlin up and down, snow and blow, fog and shine, like a rampin champin lion. Why, sir, we've fought a first-rate from Portland Bill to Dead Man's Bay this blame little boat you could sail in a babby's bath!
