"Well, I was a-thinkin' that, that bein' so, an' Jim an' Sairy thinkin' so much o' 'nother, it wa'n't o' no use fur them ter keep waitin' along year eout an' year in fur a chance tu keep house by 'emselves. They'd best git married right off an' come an' live along o' us." "W'y, ole woman!" "W'y, mother!" "Yay; I hear both on ye," said the gentle old mother with a half smile.
And then she sez, kinder wheedlin': 'But you will marry yer Sairy Anne, Johnnie, won't ye? And then, gittin' scared, I kinder forgot my manners, fer I said: 'No I'm d d if I will! An' I disremember what she said nex', but I found myself in the road, a-runnin' like a mad steer. Jee! that road was hotter'n a red-hot stove!"
I've had my bellyful o' Frenchies, Mr. Carvell save it be to fight 'em. An' I tell 'ee 'twould give me the greatest joy in life t' leave loose 'Scolding Sairy' at that there Landais. Th' gal ain't had a match on her this here cruise, an' t' my mind she couldn't be christened better, sir." I left him patting the gun with a tender affection.
Besides" and here a gleam of real if shallow affection sprang from Jim's eyes as he looked down at the loving creature by his side "besides, I'd like to take care o' thee, Sairy I would indeed." It is said that the sky has no color of its own that the deep blue we think so beautiful is only owing to the atmosphere through which we view it.
Lord! that simply isn't the word for it ... but 'ere's the room and nobody been in it since Sairy Grace and she was always bringin' men along with 'er, dirty slut and that's a month since she's been and gone and I always like 'aving yer, Mr. Brant, for you're quiet enough and no trouble at all and your friend looks pleasant I must say."
"Aunt Sairy," Dennis told her, "you're some punkins. One just naturally has to be somebody when you're around." Abe smiled up at her shyly. "It is sort of like the magic in that story of Sinbad you gave me." The other children were asleep. Abe sprawled on the floor, making marks on a wooden shovel with a pointed stick.
't was fine in the town High Street just crowded with Volunteers, and the drums were beating." Her eyes shone like stars. "It's right hard on women to stay at home an' have all the excitement go away. There don't seem to be nothin' to make it up to us " Sairy put away the ironing-board. "Sho! We've just got the little end, as usual. What's in the bag, child?"
But Sarah was a woman. What symptoms she exhibited were meaningless even to Scattergood. "Bob," said Scattergood, one auspicious day, "got any pref'rence for prosecutin' attorneys married or single?" "It depends," said Bob, cautiously. "Um!... How's Sairy behavin', Bob?" "She's she's " Bob became incoherent, and then speechless.
"But I promised him." It was the first time that Tom had ever heard a quaver in his wife's voice. He looked away uneasily. "If you made a promise you can't keep, that's your lookout. You might as well stop nagging me, Sairy. My mind is made up." To make sure that there would be no more conversation on the subject, he got up and stalked across the grass.
Sairy turned again the drying apples, then brought her patching out upon the porch and sat down in a low split-bottomed chair opposite Tom. The yellow cat at her feet yawned, stretched, and went back to sleep. The china asters bloomed; the sun drew out the odours of thyme and rue and tansy. Tom read a last week's newspaper. General Lee crosses the Potomac.
