In the arternoon I called in an old hoss dealer that I knew and shows him Pegasus. "'He wants renewin', sez he. "'Wot's that? sez I. "'A few more bottles o' that British Blonde Hair Dye to set him up ag'in. That's wot they allus do in the cirkis, whar he kem from. "Then I went back to the office and I took down my sign. 'What's that you re doin'? sez Lummox, with a sickly kind o' smile.
'I'm keepin' a sewin' school, an' my scholar has made three dresses. What do you think o' that, says she, 'for an old maid's child? I've taken a class in Sunday-school, says Jane, 'an' think o' renewin' my youth an' goin' to the picnic with Rebecca, says she; an' mother declares she never see her look so young 'n' happy."
All she had in the world and all her hopes for the future centered about her property in East Wellmouth. If that were taken from her "Well," she admitted, "perhaps it is a favor, then." "Perhaps 'tis. Why should I renew that mortgage? I don't cal'late to renew mortgages, as a general thing. Did I say anything about renewin' it when I took it? I don't remember that I did."
In fact, she don't make any remarks at all outside of the job in hand, which is some relief when you're scratchin' your head to think what to tell the assistant Western manager about renewin' them dockage contracts. Yet she ain't one of the scared-mouse kind. She looks you square in the eye when there's any call for it and she don't mumble her remarks when she has something to say. Not Miss Joyce.
He sticks close behind Llanders and plugs along just as if he was used to scramblin' through a muddy hole three hundred feet or so below the grass roots. That's what it is to be 100 per cent in love. All he could think of was gettin' that ring back and renewin' cordial relations with the lovely Marcelle. But I was noticin' enough for two.
Margaret inquired, and he handed her "The Fire-Side Companion." "Full of news from beginnin' to end," he said. "None of yo' tame stuff about Uncle Billy a comin' to town with a load of wood or Aunt Sally a renewin' of her per-scription." "Any discussion a goin' on down at town?" Jasper asked, and Gabe began to rack his memory. "Wall, no, I b'lieve not. Hearn one feller call one man a liar."
I may have a talk with him afore I decide about renewin' that mortgage. It looks to me as if 'twould be pretty good business to dicker with him. He's got money, and if I can get some of it, so much the better for me." "Solomon, you don't mean " "I don't know what I mean yet, I tell ye. But I do tell you this: I'm a business man and I know the value of money.
