She acted crazy as a loon till she got her way. She promised if she could have the Hero sleep there, she would build a monument that would tower up to the skies. The most stupendious, the most impressive work of art that wuz ever wrought by man. Wall, she got her way. Why, she cut up so, that she had to have it, seemin'ly. Wall, did she do as she agreed? No, indeed.
I waked from sleep an' bid un rise, but theer weern't no more risin' for him till the Judgment." "Death's no courtier. He'll let a day-labourer go so peaceful an' butivul as a child full o' milk goes to sleep; while he'll take a gert lord or dook, wi' lands an' moneys, an' strangle un by inches, an' give un the hell of a twistin'. You caan't buy a easy death seemin'ly."

Mary shot off at full speed; and he continued gravely, "Dhrapped aff at the dead hour o' the night, seemin'ly. God rest his sowl! O, Tammas! iv we'd only knowed!" "Ay, or if I had only spoken to him! He must have got there yesterday morning.
His eyes rolled upward to Olga, and back to Nick. "Well, she ain't 'ere seemin'ly," he remarked. "Don't you know where she is?" demanded Nick. Briggs grinned foolishly.

"But, Nick " said Olga in distress.
"Nothing wrong on this side, seemin'ly. . . . Nor, nor there wasn't any breeze o' wind in the night, not to wake me. . . . Anyways, you're a wonderful forgivin' man, Nicholas Nanjivell." "Why so?" "Why, to be up betimes an' workin' yourself cross, plasterin' at th' old house, out o' which if report's true you'll be turned within a week." "Don't you listen to reports; no, nor spread 'em.
He's got a red-headed boy from the Ridge in there now, and I think maybe the Judge will get what's comin' to him before he gets through. I've learned not to trifle with anybody what has red hair, but seemin'ly the Judge ain't. It takes some folks a long time to learn.
