"The contrairy beastis couldn't hev fund a more ill- convenient spot ter die of he hed sarched the mounting." "I ain't goin' ter leave him thar, though," stoutly declared the boy who still held the rifle. "That thar fox's scalp an' his two ears air wuth one whole dollar." Tim remonstrated. "Look-a-hyar, Birt; ef ye try ter climb up this hyar bluff, ye'll git yer neck bruk, sure."
We sarched him from head to foot, and found no eend o' tools in his pockets. He is a deep 'un. But we are Yorkshire too, as the saying is. He goes to Hillsbro' town-hall to-morrow; and glad to be shut on him." Coventry complimented him, and agreed with him that escape was impossible. He then got a light, and went to his own bedroom, and sat down, cold at heart, before the fire.
"'An honest man would make no objection to be sarched, said the Squire; 'and I insist on it, says he, laying hold o' the bag, and Tom purtending to fight all the time; but, my jewel! before two minutes, they shook the cat out o' the bag, sure enough, and off she went with her tail as big as a sweeping brush, and the Squire, with a thundering view halloo after her, clapt the dogs at her heels, and away they went for the bare life.
They two, with some other gentleman, sarched the vault, and Miss Angerline said everything was higgledy piggledy and no will there." "You testified before the Coroner?" "Yes, sir." "Why did you not give him the handkerchief you found?" "I didn't have it then." "When and where did you get it? Be very careful now."
An' thar's no gittin' them out, nuther. I snaked under the house yestiddy an' sarched, an' sarched! an' I never fund but two. An' Towse, he dragged hisself under thar, too jes' a-growlin' an' a- snappin'. I thought fur sartin every minit he'd bite my foot off."
"She were," replied the Captain, with emphasis. "She were that, Pigeon Pie! You couldn't find nobody deader, not if you'd sarched for a week. Why, door nails, and Julius Caesar, and things o' that description, would ha' been lively compared with your poor ma when I see her. Lively! that's what they'd ha' been." The child nodded with an air of familiar interest, wholly untinged with sadness.
Nick's face turned red as he answered, "That thar tur-r-key ain't a-nigh thar." "What ails ye, Nick? thar's su'thin' wrong. I kin tell it by yer looks. Ye never hed the grit ter sarch thar, I'll be bound; did ye, now?" Nick could not bring himself to admit having been near the place. "No," he faltered, "I never sarched thar." "Ye'll do it now, though!" his mother declared triumphantly.
'Pears to me, if she only went on four legs 'sted of two, she would sell high for a bloodhound." "Great Nebuckadanzer! How did she find out?" "Don't ax me; ax the witches what she has in cahoot. I always tole you, she had the eyes of a cunjor, and she has sarched it out. Says she saw you when you found it; which ain't true.
Th' rayciption that this here sintimint has rayceived fr'm ivry wan that has a son in colledge is almost tumulchuse. We feel like a long-lost brother that's been settin' outside in th' cold f'r a week, an' is now ast in to supper an' sarched at th' dure f'r deadly weepins. We'll have to set up sthraight an' mind our manners.
"I'm afeard ter send Jacob on sech a yerrand down the bluffs, kase he air so little he mought fall; but he air big enough ter go 'long an' watch ye go down ter the Hollow else ye'll kem back an' say ye hev sarched thar, when ye ain't been a-nigh the bluff." There seemed for a moment no escape for Nick.
