"It wouldn't cost much to shoo it off your land," Abe laughed. "You can't either shoo or shoot it," said Brimstead. "I look for it just to take the rickets an' die," was the comment of his wife. "How far do you call it to the sycamore woods?" Lincoln asked as they rose from the table. "About thirty mile," said Brimstead.
Taylor sat there looking at me with his winky blue eyes, I didn't dare howl or anything, but my! I did feel like it. So I just said, "Yes, 'm, Aunty May, I'll be good." She kissed me right before him. It was a little mean of her, but he looked the other way and said, "Shoo, Teddy."
She was taking snuff. It was the widow Mehitable Allen, a lady whom I had often seen in other houses on similar occasions. "Shoo," she whispered nasally. I was arrested, but turned my eyes toward mother; hers were closed. Presently she murmured, "Thank God," opened them, and saw me. A smile lighted her pale countenance. "Cassy, my darling, kiss me. I am glad it is not a woman."
"We shall all be delighted. Hush, hush, Squealer, while your clever brother sings to us." Buster folded his paws in his lap and sang very sweetly: "Traps are our enemies, Old Tom Cats, too; Watch out for Norah's broom, When she cries Shoo! "Although the cheese smells nice, Nibble it not; Wise little mice you see, Ne'er will be caught."
"Been up in the North Country, but" James lifted a remarkable upper lip in a shy grin of ecstasy "I aims to git married and stay in the States." "Shoo you don't say so!" Bruce exclaimed, properly surprised and congratulatory. "Yep," he beamed, then dropped, as he added mournfully, "So fur I've had awful bad luck with my wives; they allus die or quit me."
Shoo were that thrang shee'd sooin getten shut o' all t' wool that Throp could get howd on, an' then shoo axed t' farmers to let t' barns out o' t' village go round t' moors an' bring her t' wool that had getten scratted off t' yowes' backs for ten mile around.
The wife takes her place at the head of the table with a broom to keep the fowls out, and at short intervals she interrupts the conversation with such exclamations as "Shoo! shoo!" "Tommy, can't you see that fowl? Drive it out!" The fowls evidently pass a lot of their time in the house. They mark the circle described by the broom, and take care to keep two or three inches beyond it.
And then something strange happened, for when she made this motion the old rooster jumped up in the air and kicked his feet out in front, knocking Raggedy Ann over and over. When Raggedy Ann stopped rolling she waved her apron at the rooster and cried, "Shoo!" but instead of "shooing," Old Ironsides upset her again.
I'm devoted to them, and willing to do anything in my power for their comfort, but I'm free to confess that I don't understand them. I never did understand boys." Then she tripped over me as I nearly upset us both in my frantic efforts to get out of her way. "Or monkeys either," she added, shaking her skirts at me with a displeased "Shoo," as if I had been a silly old hen.
"When I'm ower thrang wi' wark on a washin'-day, I just set misen down on t' chair and think o' t' rest o' heaven, an' I say ower to misen yon lines that I larnt frae my muther: "I knew a poor lass that allus were tired, Shoo lived in a house wheer help wasn't hired.
