There set that cold-blooded bush-whacker on the same log, looking down the road the way I had kited, with his gun kinder restin' on his knees. I rested on a stump and took him square in the middle of the back. He gave a yell and jumped erbout five feet, but it was too late to jump. 'Taint nothing to it, a plain case of self-defense and 'parent necessity.
'E's always orl roight when 'e's slep' 'it orf." "He's hurt his legs," explained William. "He hurt his legs at the Blue Cow. He's jus' restin'!" Mrs. Brown swallowed and counted twenty to herself. It was a practice she had acquired in her youth for use in times when words crowded upon her too thick and fast for utterance. At last she spoke with unusual bitterness.
And I thought, as I stood there, how many happy restin' places we plan and toil for and then can't enter in and possess through some past error and mistake caused by ignorance as dense as Moseses ignorance. What a lot of emotions I had thinkin' this, and how on top of another mount the great prophet and law-giver wuz not, for God took him.
Ye've mebbe watched the storm, sir, when it beat upon the shore. His style o' delivery was like the ragin' o' the waves. Ye see that buik, moderator, yir haun's restin' on the tap o't. Weel, he dune for sax o' them the while he was oor minister. We bocht the strongest bound o' them, but he banged them to tatters amazin' fast. A page at a skite.
She never was ill in her life but one morning she didn't come down to breakfast, and when they went up to call her, there she was sittin' at her window restin' her chin on her hand, with her face turned up smilin' as if she was talkin' to some one. The doctor said it had happened hours before, when she had come to the window to look at the stars. Easy way to go, wasn't it?"
We did not see Aunt Nancy again until the morning of our third day in Paris, when I ran across her in the galleries of the Luxembourg. She was settled comfortably in a bright-red upholstered seat near the main entrance, and on her wrinkled face was an expression of perfect peace. "Well, I'm glad to see you resting at last," was my greeting. "Yes, I'm restin'," she conceded.
His boots was off, and his stockin's, and even in that first look I could see the agony that was a rendin' them toes almost to burstin'. Oh, how sorry I felt for them toes! He was a restin' in a most dejected and melancholy manner on his hand, as if it wuz more than sufferin' that ailed him he looked a sufferer from remorse, and regret, and also had the air of one whom mortification has stricken.
"She had raised herself out of the water with her hands restin' on a slab of rock, and over the rock she stared at my father, like as if she wanted help, and again like as if she felt too timid to ask.
My father looked right enough at first just as if he was restin' but after they'd had him opened he looked as if he'd been hurt. No one else could see it, but I could. How old was Arvie?" "Eleven." "I'm twelve goin' on for thirteen. Arvie's father's dead, ain't he?" "Yes." "So's mine. Died at his work, didn't he?" "Yes." "So'd mine. Arvie told me his father died of something with his heart!"
She laughs and shakes her head. "Or an old watch-dog aunt, eh?" I goes on. "Whatever made you think of that?" says she. "You ought to see the one that stands guard over Vee," says I. "But how was it, anyway, that Mr. Robert got himself in wrong with you?" "How?" says Miss Hampton, restin' her perky chin on one knuckle and studyin' the rug pattern.
