As I went to the fields once, where I mett with 3 of my acquaintance, who had a designe for to hunt a great way off, they desired me to goe along. One of them came along with mee, and gott leave for me of my kindred. My mother gott me presently a sack of meale, 3 paire of shoos, my gun, and tourned backe where the 2 stayed for us.
Maybe you know how catchin' that sort of thing is? It's got the measles or barber's itch beat seven ways. That bunch of grouches just couldn't resist. Inside of five minutes they was grinnin' with him, and when I finally shoos 'em out they was formin' a committee to shake each other down for two hundred per towards a weddin' present. I finds it about as much use tryin' to get Mr.
Is you goin' t' take un? "'I wathn't thinkin' o' that, says she. 'I wathn't thinkin' o' not. I wath jutht, says she, 'wonderin'. "'They isn't no sense in that, Liz, says I. 'You just wait an' find out. "'What'th hith name? says she. "'Shoos, says I. 'Moses Shoos. "With that she up with her pinny an' begun t' cry like a young swile. "'What you cryin' for, Liz? says I.
"'Cook, you dunderhead! says the skipper, with a wink t' the crew. 'You been an' scarched the water agin. "Shoos he looked like he'd give up for good on the spot just like he knowed he was a fool, an' had knowed it for a long, long time, sort o' like he was sorry for we an' sick of hisself. "'Cook, says the skipper, 'you went an' done it agin. Yes, you did! Don't you go denyin' of it.
The next hour saw the Avenue Girl through a great deal. Her burns were dressed by an interne and she was moved back to a bed at the end of the ward. The Probationer sat beside her, having refused supper. The Dummy was gone the Senior Nurse had shooed him off as one shoos a chicken. "Get out of here! You're always under my feet," she had said not unkindly and pointed to the door.
Which was wonderful hard for the cook t' manage, look you! as the skipper, which knowed nothin' about feelin's, would never stop tellin' un: the cook bein' from Thunder Arm, a half-witted, glossy-eyed lumpfish o' the name o' Moses Shoos, born by chance and brung up likewise, as desperate a cook as ever tartured a stummick, but meanin' so wonderful well that we loved un, though he were like t' finish us off, every man jack, by the slow p'ison o' dirt.
"'No, says I; 'but you'll be changin' your name, says I, 'an' it won't matter no more. "'An' if I can't say Joneth, says she, 'I can't thay "'Can't say what? says I. "'Can't thay Thooth! says she. "Lord! No more she could. An' t' say Moses Shoos! An' t' say M'issus Moses Shoos! Lord! It give me a pain in the tongue, t' think of it. "'Jutht my luck, says she; 'but I'll do my betht.
My racketts, shoos, and stokens kept me my life; I must needs save them. I tooke them and flung them as farr as I could in the snow. The fire being out, I was forced to looke for them, as dark as it was, in the said snow, all naked & very lame, and almost starved both for hungar and cold. But what is it that a man cannot doe when he seeth that it concerns his life, that one day he must loose?
"'I will, says the skipper. 'Stand up here, says he. 'All hands stand up! says he. "'Now, Liz, says he, 'can you cook? "'Fair t' middlin', says she. 'I won't lie. "''Twill do, says he. 'An' does you want t' get married t' this here dam' fool? "'An it pleathe you, says she. "'Shoos, says the skipper, 'will you let this woman do the cookin'?
"Bravo! that's a capital idea!" cried Harold, beginning at once to divest himself of his shoos and stockings; then rolling his pantaloons up to his knees he stepped in, followed by Sophy, who had made her preparations with equal dispatch. "Come, Elsie, aren't you going to get in, too?" she asked, for Elsie still sat on the bank making no movement towards following their example.
