"No, Squire, I don't believe I will while ye're eatin'. I jest wanted to see if I could borry one of yer boys this forenoon. I've got a swarm of bees lined over to whar the old-growth woods begin, and if I'm to git 'em I've got to foller my line on amongst tall trees and knock; and lately, Squire, I'm gettin' so blamed deaf I snum I can't hear a bee buzz if he's right close to my head!
Galusha, after waiting a moment, sat down also. Primmie seemed to be wrestling with a mental problem, but characteristically she could not wrestle in silence. "What was it I wanted to ask you, Mr. Bangs?" she said. "I snum I can't think! Zach, what was it I wanted to ask Mr. Bangs?" Mr. Bloomer paid not the slightest attention to the question. His sad blue eye was fixed upon vacancy.
Set down and pass your plate, Babbie. You'll set down and have a bite with us, won't you, Mr. Major I snum I've forgot your name. You mustn't mind; I forget my own sometimes." "Grover. I am a major in the Engineers, stationed here for the present to look after this construction work. No, thank you, I should like to stay, but I must go back to my office." "Dear, dear! That's too bad.
"Pierce my pearls!" exclaimed the miner, "if ever I saw a rag in my shack before that would leave a white mark on anything! Say!" And he took off the youngster's old fur cap. He was speechless for a moment, for the little fellow's hair was as brown as a nut. "I snum!" said Jim, wiping the wondering little face in a sort of fever of discovery and taking off color at every daub with the rag.
I've told you that much how I went over to Wellmouth and boarded a spell, got sick of that, and, just to be doin' somethin' and not for the money, bought a catboat and took out sailin' parties from Wixon and Wingate's summer hotel." "And you met Mr. Williams? Well, I snum! Was he at the hotel?" "No, not exactly. I met him sort of casual this second time." "SECOND time? Had you met him afore that?"
Land sakes alive! talk about angels! I snum if she ain't comin' up the road this blessed minute." John Ellery had risen. Now he seized his hat and moved hastily toward the door. Mrs. Prince called to him to remain, but he would not. However, her good-bys delayed him for a minute, and before he reached the yard gate Grace was opening it.
In that moment Bessie got in line with the ticket window and, seeing Dolly, waved to her to come out. Then she walked over to Jake, smiled at his amazed face as he turned to her, and saluted him cheerfully. "Hello, Jake Hoover," she said. "Were you looking for me!" Jake's face fell, and he stared at her in comical dismay. "Well, I snum!" he said.
One of these stragglers was Mr. Pepper. Kyan was astonished. "Well, I snum!" cried Kyan, raising the lantern. "If 'tain't Mr. Ellery. Where you bound this kind of night?" Before the minister could answer, a stately figure appeared and joined the pair. Lavinia, of course. "Well, Mr. Ellery," she said. "Ain't you lost, out in this fog? Anybody sick?" No, no one was sick. "That's a mercy.
'Well, I snum, I don't see how you make that out, says the Pleasant River boys; 'for Aaron walked down, 'n' Jabe run a piece o' the way. 'If Jabe Slocum run, says the elder, as impressive as if he was preachin', 'if Jabe Slocum ever run, then 't was because he was too doggoned lazy to hold back! I want to know!
You couldn't be struck any dumber than you are. You was born dumb. Set DOWN! Everybody's lookin' at you. I never was so mortified in my life." The harassed Abel made one more attempt. He battled savagely with his chair. "I CAN'T set down," he said. "This everlastin' chair won't set even. I snum I believe it ain't got but three laigs. There! Now let's see."
