"I reckin I got de strength to drive ary mule dey is." "I ain't sayin' you ain't," stated Bill Tilghman. "A born ijiot could drive dat mule, so I jedge you mout mek out to qualify. 'Tain't de drivin' of him hit's de hitchin' up of him which I speaks of."
"Reckin he oughter know all 'bout dat," she said. "He's done had three wives, an' he ain't got rid o' dis one yit." Judging from her chuckles and waggings of the head when she made this remark, it might be imagined that Aunt Rebecca was rather proud of the fact that her husband thought her capable of exhibiting a different kind of diabolism every day in the week.
Judge, you oughter stepped down into Franklin Street and taken a look at the picture whilst there was still time. You never seen sech a funny sight in all your days, I'll bet!" "I reckin 'twould be too late to be startin' now," said Judge Priest. "I'm right sorry I missed it.... Busy ketchin' up, huh? Yes; I reckin he is.... Tell me, son, whut did you make out of the way Peep O'Day acted?"
The big man's face flushed at the general laugh which followed, and he answered hotly, as he swung his axe, "You'd better ask Wash Gibbs; I hear he says he's the best man in these woods." "I reckin as how Wash can back his jedgment there," said Joe. "Wash is a sure good man," remarked Buck, "but there's another not so mighty far away that'll pretty nigh hold, him level."
"Kate or Katherine it makes no great difference," explained Judge Priest. "I reckin the record is straight this fur. And now think hard and see ef you kin ever remember hearin' of an uncle named Daniel O'Day your father's brother." The answer was a shake of the tousled head. "I don't know nothin' about my people.
Now I reckin I'm too old learn.... I wonder, suh I wonder ef it'll be very long before that there money gits here and I begin to have the spendin' of it?" "Makin' plans already?" "Yes, suh," O'Day answered truthfully; "I am." He was silent for a moment, his eyes on the floor; then timidly he advanced the thought that had come to him.
"I reckin not more'n six bits at any one time, suh. Seems like I've sorter got the knack of livin' without money." "Well, Peep, sech bein' the case, whut would you say ef I was to tell you that you're a rich man?" The answer came slowly. "I reckin, suh, ef it didn't sound disrespectful, I'd say you was prankin' with me makin' fun of me, suh." Judge Priest bent forward in his chair.
"I reckin dat ye needn't be oneasy, honey, 'bout dat, fur Miss Hungerford is 'zackly de one fur to take ker ob dat man; he's got his head 'way up 'mong de stars, an' 'way down in de figgerin' mos' all de time." "Do you mean that he is an astronomer, Matthias?"
"Jess Georgy," he finally said. "What do you want here?" "Well, I'll tell you. I want you to hire me," he replied, with a faint look of expectancy. "What can you do?" "Me?" "Yes, you." "Oh, well, I'll tell you. Most everything." "What salary do you want?" "Me?" "Of course you." "Want?" "Yes." "Oh, well, about five dollars a day, I reckin." The porter laughed coarsely.
"Son," stated the squire, "I reckin you've been hearin' 'em, haven't you, singin' this here new song that's goin' 'round about, 'I'm Afraid to Go Home in the Dark'? Well, probably the man who wrote that there song never was down here in these parts in his life; probably he just made the idea of it up out of his own head. But he might 'a' had the case of my neighbor in his mind when he done so.
