All dead an' old timber must be cut, an' much of thet where the trees are crowded. The north slopes must be cut enough to let in the sun an' light. Brush, windfalls rottin' logs must be burned. Thickets of young pine must be thinned. Care oughten be taken not to cut on the north an' west edges of the forests, as the old guard pines will break the wind."
"There's enough old hulks rottin' at their moorin's down here as 'tis. I don't know anything about lumber and half as much about hardware, but I cal'late I can learn." As an aid in the learning process he retained as bookkeeper Laban Keeler, who had acted in that capacity for the former proprietor.
D'you suppose chaps with their amount of extra-tu are takin' up volunteerin' for fun?" "Well, I don't know. I thought of doin' a poem about it rottin' 'em, you know 'The Ballad of the Dogshooters' eh?" "I don't think you can, because King'll be down on the corps like a cartload o' bricks. He hasn't been consulted, he's sniffin' round the notice-board now. Let's lure him."
And all through the years, in trouble and in happiness, her plaint was the same "If I'd thought I was going to stick down on a farm all my life, slavin' for a pack of menfolks day and night, I'd rather have died. Might as well be dead as rottin' here." Her schoolteacher English had early reverted. Her speech was as slovenly as her dress.
I was drunk last night, an' the night before, an' I'm a-goin' to git drunk to-night" with an impressive look at the bottle "an' to-morrow night, an' I'll keep it up till I'm rottin' in the grave." Calton shuddered, so full of hatred and suppressed malignity was her voice, but the detective merely shrugged his shoulders. "More fool you," he said, briefly.
I quote, suh, the exact words: 'extendin' its railroad system. Think, my dear Major, of the effect that a colossal financial concern like the great British syndicate would produce upon Fairfax County, backed as it is, suh, by untold millions of stagnant capital absolutely rottin' in English banks! The road is built!"
"One always knows where to have him. Did you see how he rose to that draw about the Head and special privileges?" "Confound him, he might have had the decency to have backed the scheme. I could do such a lovely ballad, rottin' it; and now I'll have to be a giddy enthusiast. It don't bar our pulling Stalky's leg in the study, does it?"
So they planned, and it seemed a small and unimportant thing to them that as they clattered the governments of half the world and more were drifting into war. About midday they became aware of the first of the evening-paper placards shouting to them across the street: Nothing else but that. "Always rottin' about war now," said Bert.
"Don't you daih to cuss ag'in or befo' Gawd dey 'll be somep'n fu' one o' dis fambly to be rottin' in jail fu'!" The boy was cowed by his mother's manner. He was gathering his few belongings in a bundle. "I ain't goin' to cuss," he said sullenly, "I 'm goin' out o' your way." "Oh, go on," she said, "go on. It 's been a long time sence you been my son.
She was a wild one, all right. "She was so wild that Drew, after they got married, took her over on the far side of the range and built that old house that's rottin' there now. Bard, he left the range and wasn't never seen again, far as I know." It was clear to Anthony, bitterly clear. His father had had a grim scene in parting with Drew and had placed the continent between them.
