Was there ae body that ye expected?" asked his wife. "The Man o' Peace, woman!" cried Brockburn. "I've ane o' my wushes to get, and I maun hae't." "The man's mad!" was the gudewife's comment. "Ye've surely forgotten yoursel, Brockburn. Ye never believed in the Daoiné Shi before." "Seein's believin'," said the Laird.
"But what's the news, Tracey?" There is suspense in the iteration. "Well, seein's it's you, Watty " "You Tracey Tanner, you run 'long and stop your jokin'!" interrupts Hiram with authority. "'Tain't no joke; it's news, I'm tellin' you. Sa-ay, what d'ye think, Watty?" "Yes, Tracey, yes? What is it, boy?" "Thet Noo York dood," drawls Tracey, "is a-workin' for Sam Graham!" A dramatic pause ensues.
"Wal, Jim, I'll take on'y ten dollars from you, seein's your contrac's out for buildin', an' you need ev'rything that's comin' your way." Jim laughed. It was a boisterous laugh that had little mirth in it. "Guess I'll treble that," he said. "I've cut the contract." But the laugh had irritated the doctor. "I'll take ten from you;" he said, with an incisive clipping of his teeth.
"I'm nae your doggie, I'm a Man of Peace," was the reply. "Dinna miscall your betters, Brockburn: why will ye not credit our existence, man?" "Seein's believin'," said the Laird, stubbornly; "but the mist's ower thick for seein' the night, ye ken."
The loungers took it upon themselves to see that the broncho was properly harnessed; and now that it was no longer necessary to limit the weight of the supplies, the shopkeeper suggested that the amount of flour and bacon be doubled. "Will ten dollars be enough to pay for it?" Dick asked. "We'll make a charge of it, seein's you're goin' to work for Bob Mason.
He never overlooks nothin' an' I guess he figgered you'n me might meet up here, seein's it's my special job just now to watch your aunt's cottage." Since Kendrick had seen him last the "Iron Man" had grown a little moustache, a weird affair of reddish bristles which a scar on his lip compelled to lean mostly in one direction with a windswept appearance.
The famous and fab'lous Franko o' Florence, the fire-eatin', flame-swallerin', fat feller as weighs thirty-two stone if a hounce seein's believin' and all for a tanner a tanner! Sixpence an' no more! Come and see Franko the fattest feller o' Florence as will eat fire, devour glass and swaller swords, and all for sixpence for sixpence!
Tell you what I'll do, Joe," this with a burst of philanthropic impulsiveness and a confidential lowering of voice, "seein's it's you, and I wouldn't do it for anybody else, I'll reduce it to five cents. Only," here his voice became impressively solemn, "only you mustn't ever tell how much you really did pay."
They got double pay all right, all right, but there was some misunderstandin' as to what single pay was to be to start off with. Single pay turned out to be just whatever suited the people that employed 'em, seein's they were nearly seven thousand miles away from God and up against it, so they're beatin' it back home to volunteer for service in France.
Ha, ha, ha! If either them kids tries to ride Beelzy Hmm. But Chiquita, now, she's little but she's great. Pa and Matt claim she's worth her weight in gold. She's likely, anyway. An' don't fret, lady. They'll all be home to breakfast, an' seein's I've got that to cook, I'll hump myself to bed and advisin' you to do the same. If not, make yourselves comfortable's you can, and good night."
