We wash and hang out Mondays, iron Tuesdays, cook Wednesdays, clean house and mend Thursdays and Fridays, bake Saturdays, and go to meetin' Sundays.
"Well, Whit," he stammered, "there's consider'ble talkin' goin' on, that's all." "Talkin'? What kind of talkin'?" "Well, you know the kind. This town does a good deal of it, 'specially after church and prayer meetin'. Seem's if they thought 'twas a sort of proper place. I don't myself; I kind of like to keep my charity and brotherly love spread out through the week, but "
"I kin give you that one a might lower 'n usual. It'll be two dollars to you, seem's you got sich a purty girl in the buggy." The girl giggled, Jim flushed, and fished out two one-dollar bills, which he passed over to Scattergood. Then, whip in hand, he drove off with a flourish. Scattergood pocketed the money serenely.
But, yeh see, I may not have a chance right off to pay yeh back for the times ye've carried my gun and hull caboodie. Say, now, girne that gun, any-way." "All right, if yeh feel like it, Jim," Smith replied, and they trudged along doggedly in the sun, which was getting higher and hotter each half mile. "Ain't it queer there ain't no teams cornin' along." "Well, no, seem's it's Sunday."
We'll take turns winding it on to our spool." They wound, and wound, and wound. "Seem's if there is no end," complained Buster. Limpy-toes went on with the work. Suddenly, the thread tightened and the spool in the playroom stopped bobbing. The twins crept slyly to the hole to see what had happened. They came back giggling softly.
He paused, put down his empty pipe, and sighed. "Well, then," he continued, "came the upset. I judged from what you said at our previous conversation, Captain, that you were well enough acquainted with Wall Street to know that queer operations take place there. Did you read about the South Shore Trolley business?" Captain Elisha considered. "Why, yes," he said, slowly, "seem's if I did.
"Quaarts an' quaarts of waater they squeedged out of me afore the wind got back in an' I don't seem's if I'd ever get free o' the taste o' that waater. Nothing won't settle it, no matter how 'ard I do try." The gentry who smilingly listened, knowing Veale for a queer rustic character of poor repute, gave him sixpences to assist in his efforts to quench an abnormal thirst.
Seem's if I just couldn't wait any longer to see Molly and Stella, and I'm going to dress right, straight, bang, quick! and go over there. Come on." "They won't be awake." "Of course they won't; that's the fun of it! We'll throw little pebbles up at their windows, and wake them up, and make them come out." "Well, all right, I will."
As they drew up to the stone veranda, Tess reached spontaneously for Helen Young's hand. "It seem's if I jest couldn't sing afore such a awful lot of folks," she murmured helplessly. Helen returned the pressure of the cold fingers. "Try to imagine you're in church," she suggested. "You won't break down, my dear, I feel quite sure."
"Seems as if we could do a little something to help her get ready, seem's though," Mis' Moran suggested; "I donno what."

Mis' Winslow found Mary Chavah sitting by her pattern bookcase, cutting out a pattern.
