What you think Willie's doin'? I bet you can't g " "Jane!" Mrs Baxter spoke sharply. "Tell me what Genesis said, at once." "Yes'm. Willie's sittin' in a lumber-yard that Genesis comes by on his way from over on the avynoo where all the colored people live an' he's countin' knot-holes in shingles." "He is WHAT?" "Yes'm.
"What's he doin', then? Sittin' round foolin' with his inventions, ain't he?" "Yes." "What's he inventin' now?" "I don't know much about it." She pointed to the model beneath the window. "That's the last thing, I guess." Blinky snorted and stamped over to the window, stooping to peer at the machine.
"The Ray boy is sittin' with him, whilst William is gone to the North Village to see if he can get somebody to come. There's a widow woman over there that goes out nussin', Silas said, an' they hope they can get her. The doctor says he's got to have somebody." "Rebecca can't do anything, of course," said Sarah, meditatively; "he 'ain't got any of his own folks to come, poor feller."
"Oh, it's 'ard! it's 'ard! . . . And me sittin' here calcilatin' eggs an' milk domestic-like and thinkin' what bliss . . . But you don't understand. O' course you don't. Why should you?" Tilda placed her hands behind her back, eyed him for half-a-minute, and sagely nodded. "Well, I never!" she said. "Oh, my goodness gracious mercy me!" "I can't think what you 're referrin' to," stammered Mr.
A faint little smile hovered about the corners of the road agent's mouth when presently he answered: "Why, surely we are . . ." His words cleared her face instantly. "I want you to think o' me here jest waitin'," she said. "You was the first there'll never be anyone but you. Why, you're the man I'd want sittin' across the table if there was a little kid like I was playin' under it.
He stopped, grown cold as a man will when he feels that he has laid his inner self indecently bare to the eye of the world. But she did not stir; she did not smile. "I felt like a kid again," said Harrigan, recovering from the brogue. "Like a kid sittin' on the pierhead an' watchin' the green water. Your eyes are that green," he finished.
He drew a long breath, apparently of relief. "Why, so 'tis," he said, solemnly. "When I first saw you sittin' there, Phin, I had a suspicion 'twas you, but the longer I looked the more I thought 'twas the President come to call. Do you know," he added, confidentially, "if you didn't have any whiskers and he looked like you you'd be the very image of him."
Well, I'd got the main- halliards led aft to where I was sittin', and as they closed, I gently sways the sail up, a few inches at a time, and keeps grad'lly away, until we was all spinnin' away dead to the south'ard, they paddlin' like fury, and I just keepin' far enough ahead to be out of range of their harrers.
And if I was out in the next lot I'd have known what you was listenin' to in that sittin' room. They hinted that they were real sorry for you, but 'twasn't any of THEIR doin's. The parish committee, bein' just men, was apt to make mistakes in certain matters.
Gosh, cain't she cook and clean. So ef it w'ar a housekeeper er a business partner Ah wanted, Ah coulden pick a better one than Sary Dodd. "But yuh unnerstand me, John, don't yuh, when Ah says Ah wants something pritty sittin' afore the pianner to sing to me, or dressin' up in finery like Miss Bob's and playin' a lady?
