I have lost him," says she, a throwin' out her arms with a wild gesture that skairt me. "I have lost him by it." And her eyes looked as big and wild and wretched, as if she was lookin' down the endless ages of eternity, a tryin' to find her love, and knew she couldn't. All this was in her eyes, in her voice.
And then she is very timid, and skairt easy, and she owned up that while the pickin' of the geese almost broke her heart, the pickin' of the ganders almost skairt her to death.
I declare, when the hull magnitude of the task we had tackled riz before us, it skairt the hull on us, and nuthin' but our deathless devotion to the Methodist meetin' house, kep us from startin' off to our different homes on the run.
And I stood still, and listened; and then I heard a awful katouse and rumpus, and then I heard hollerin'; and then I heard Josiah's voice, and somebody else's voice, a talkin' back and forth, sort o' quick and excited. Now, some wimmen would have been skairt, and acted skairt; but I didn't. Pretty soon the door opened right by the side of the table, and in come Josiah Allen and a strange man.
And lots of times them rare souls to whom the secrets of God are revealed them who see the High White Ideal lightnin' the Darkness the glowin' form of a New Truth shinin' out amidst the thick clouds overhead lots of times they git bewildered and skairt by the mockin' voices about them.
Why I had to call on every martyr in the hull string of martyrs sometimes to keep myself from tellin' her my full mind about 'em unbeknown to me. For, if I had, it would have skairt the soft little creeter out of what little wit she had. So I kep' middlin' still, and see it go on. For she wuz a good little soul, affectionate and kinder helpful. A good creeter now to find your speks.
He wuz all alone, and skairt so we spoze and that fall took him off on the second day. "And as quick as we could git ready we sot off here. "It didn't seem really right, but you know Father hain't known anything for upwards of two years, and you know jest how bad we did want to come here. "But I don't know as it wuz exactly right to come off so soon after he fell.
And I asked him plain if he had got so low, and if I had lived with him twenty years for this, to hear him in the end dumb religious duties. And Josiah acted skairt and conscience smut for most half a minute, and said, "he didn't dumb 'em." "What wuz you dumbin'?" sez I, coldly. "I wuz dumbin' the idee," sez he, "that a man can't make money when he has a chance to."
And it happened dretful curius, but the town hired that very team that drawed the monument there, to take the family back. It wuz a good team. And they say the children wuz skairt, and cried when they went by it cried and wept. But I believe it wuz because they wuz cold and hungry that made 'em cry. I don't believe it wuz the monument.
I see he wouldn't stop, so I had to go and open the door, and there stood Serena Fogg, there stood the author of "Wedlock's Peaceful Repose." I felt like a fool. For I knew she had heard every word, I see she had by her looks. She looked skairt, and as surprised and sort o' awe-stricken as if she had seen a ghost.
