"And when you come back to Winnebago, Miss Fanny, and the saints send it be soon I'll bet ye'll see me on th' first flure, keepin' a stern but kindly eye on the swellest trade in town. Ev'ry last thing I know I learned off yur poor ma." "I hope it will serve you here, Aloysius." "Sarve me!" He bent closer.
Throth, it would be a bad day we'd see you at a deshort * for a friend, for you never wor nothin' else nor a civil, oblagin' neighbor yourself; an' him that's gone before the Lord make his bed in heaven this day was as good a warrant as ever broke bread, to sarve a friend, if it was at the hour of midnight." * That is at a loss; or more properly speaking, taken short, which it means.
I misremember the year, but that don't matter; bein' a subject of no consarn wotiver, 'xcept to schoolboys who'll get their licks if they can't tell, and sarve 'em right too. But if you're willin' I'm agreeable, and there's an end o' the whole affair."
Look at his sclowed faace all streaming wi' blood! 'S truth! I'd like to sarve you the same, an' I would for two pins! I'm ashamed of 'e!" "He hit wi' his fistes like a gude un," said Will, grinning; "an' he'm made o' the right stuff, I'll swear. Couldn't have done better if he was my awn son. I be gwaine to give un a braave toy bimebye. You see t'other kid's faace come to-morrow!"
"Lawk, Sally," said a helper, "what a blessing it'll be, if that mean old thief's dead; I'll go to town, if 'tis so, get a dozen Guy's-day rockets, tie 'em round with crape, and spin 'em over the larches: that'll be funeral fun won't it? and it'll sarve to tell the neighbours of our luck in getting rid on him."
He was the last one to sarve here. He sarved an attachment," replied the inevitable humorist of all Californian assemblages. "Is he here?" asked Mrs. Tucker, disregarding the renewed laughter which followed this subtle witticism. The loungers at the door made way for one of their party, who was half dragged, half pushed into the shop.
Divil a less would sarve her turn! She has a brick flure to her house, an' she washes it divil a lie I tell ye she washes it wid wather an' wid soap an' wather, ivery Sattherday in the week! The saints betune us an' harm, but all she wants now is to turn Protestant altogether!"
English, you wor fairly done there; in spite o' the tall English, you're no match for the ladies. Miss Julia fairly gev' you the bag to hould." The Buck's eye glittered with bitterness. "Miss Julia, do you say?" he replied; "why, my good friend, the girl was christened Judy plain Judy; but now that they've got into high-flown life, you persave, nothing will sarve them but to ape their betthers.
Don't let out on yourself, man alive, unless you have the face to be proud of your acquaintance, which in throth is more than anyone, barrin' the same set, could be of you." "Well, well," retorted the pedlar, "sure blood alive, as we're all of the same connection, let us not quarrel now, but sarve another if we can. Go an' tell the old blackguard I want to see him about business."
Besides, thar's bare spots above, whar they mout sight us from out on the water; an' ef they did, distance wouldn't sarve us a bit. The Feweegins kin climb up the steepest places, like squir'ls up a tree. Once seen by 'em, we'd stan' no chance with 'em in a run. Ther'fore, we'd better abide quietly hyar. Mebbe, arter all, they mayn't come ashore.
