How I'd like to take a rousin' run round that meadow on the whole lot of 'em!" and Ben swayed about in his chair as if he was already doing it in imagination. "You may take a turn round my field on Lita any day.
"Well, life mostly is evil if ye come to think on it. An' as for danger 't's so-so three times shot, six times in jail an' many a rousin' gallop wi' the hue an' cry behind.

Says he, "It's 'changed PLAICE, that's all," and "PLAICE" ain't a bad fish. The Catholics fast enough, gracious knows, but then they fast on a great rousin' big splendid salmon at two dollars and forty cents a pound, and lots of old Madeira to make it float light on the stomach; there's some sense in mortifying the appetite arter that fashion, but plagy little in your way.
"We'd better just tend to ourselves, and let other folks do the same; and as to rousin' the camp, why them boys is a heap better off asleep than they would be round here. That's a nice sort of a guard, ain't it?" said Jerry, pointing to Hal, who was slumbering soundly near the fire. "That's just what he was doin' when I got up; and on his watch too. We can git along without any such help as thet.
An' it's all we could do to keep from comin' up outside 'ere an' givin' ye a rousin' cheer 'fore goin' to bed, onny Mr. Netlips 'e said it wouldn't be 'commensurate, wotever that is, so we just left it. Howsomever, I made up my mind I'd be the first to wish ye joy, Passon! an' I wish it true!" Silently Walden held out his hand. Bainton grasped it with affectionate respect in his own horny palm.
Edward asked, waked by Ben's loud rap on the state-room door. "Miss Louise she hasn't come yet, Marse Ed'ard," he said, "and de steamah'll be startin' fo' long. I don' know whar to go to look her up, so please excuse me for rousin' ye, sah." "Hasn't come yet, do you say, Ben? and the vessel about to sail?" exclaimed Edward in dismay, springing from his berth to open the door.
"Lamp oil is mighty rousin' to them as late like he's doin'. I've used copperas for such but takes longer. Some say a dose of turpentine is better lamp oil but I 'low both of 'em won't hurt." Johnnie pushed past them all into the front room where the women were running about, talking lot and exclaiming.
"A good guess," she said to herself, "and what's more, there's ways o' provin' it. He's comin', and he mustn't know; you're a fool, Betsy Lavender, not to keep your wits better about you, and go rousin' up the whole neighborhood; good look that your face is crooked and don't show much o' what's goin' on inside!" "What's the matter, Betsy?" asked Gilbert.
"Poor creature!" observed grandma, "I think she's afraid of a attack of her old complaint, she looks that terrible bad, and don't take interest in anythink. She wants rousin' out of herself more. She ain't a girl that will confide anythink to one, but her uncle is comin' up again to-morrer, an' I think I'll speak to him."
"Kaze I carn't fin' de key to de door et de foot ob de sta'rway intah de loom-room. But you woan hab no trouble, noways, climbin' down dat wall. So hurry, an' while you dresses, I'll pack up some ob yo' clo's in a bundle. I'se done shet ole Jock an' Ponto up in de woodhouse to keep dem f'um barkin' an' rousin' yo' pap.
