And women cryin' and sobbin' i' t' streets when, Lord help us! o' Saturday came a worse time than iver! for all Friday there had been a kind o' expectation an' dismay about t' Good Fortune, as t' mariners had said was off St Abb's Head o' Thursday, when t' Resolution came in; and there was wives and maids wi' husbands an' sweethearts aboard t' Good Fortune ready to throw their eyes out on their heads wi' gazin', gazin' nor'ards over t'sea, as were all one haze o' blankness wi' t' rain; and when t' afternoon tide comed in, an' niver a line on her to be seen, folk were oncertain as t' whether she were holding off for fear o' t' tender as were out o' sight, too or what were her mak' o' goin' on.
Her like a spirit all in white and a face was both the saddest and the upliftedest ever I see; and them rough men all crowdin' up to their places, so soft you'd thought they was barefoot 'stead of heavy shod; and Jessie with her arms round the two little ones, and her mother pitchin' the tune, same as usual, and and I declare I can't keep the tears back yet, rememberin'. Before she was done the whole kerboodle of us was sobbin' and cryin' like a passel of young ones, and there was she, with her broken heart, as calm and serene as an angel.
It made my heart bleed to see the fight he put up, but he finished six feet to the bad and fell across the mark on his face, sobbin' like a child. It's the game ones that cry when they're licked; analyze a smilin' loser and you'll find the yellow streak. I lifted him to his feet, but he was shakin' like a bush in the wind. "Them shoes!" he wailed. "Them damned shoes!"
And when the two girls showed up with their arms locked about each other, and Vee leads Doris up to Mother Ull, and they goes to a three-cornered clinch, sobbin' on one another's shoulder well, I faded. On the way home I was struck by a sudden thought that trickled all the way down my spine like a splinter of ice.
"Like a woman sobbin'?" "Ruth," said Rand, suddenly looking up in his brother's face, "what's gone of you?" Ruth laughed. "The fire's out," he said, abruptly re-entering the cabin. "I'm goin' to turn in." Rand, following his brother half reproachfully, saw him divest himself of his clothing, and roll himself in the blankets of his bed. "Good-night, Randy!" Rand hesitated.
She must have kept up brave like all the time this morning, and then after lunch when I come in while you were resting, Sir it got too much for her, I expect, sittin' alone for she was sobbin' like to break her heart as I opened the door. She looked that forlorn and huddled up give you my word, Sir Nicholas I was near blubberin' myself." "I am so awfully sorry What did you do, Burton?"
And, instead of gettin' yourself all worked up over what may never be, I think it would be better to ask Him to save the boy." "I do ask Him, every day, every hour," says she, sobbin' quieter like. "Wall, then, hush up, Cicely." And sometimes she would hush up, and sometimes she wouldn't. But how she would talk about what she wanted to do for him! I heard her talkin' to her uncle Josiah one day.
Lovin' hands smoothed the wrinkled forehead 'nd breshed back the long, scant, white hair, but the eyes of the dyin' man wuz sot upon that piece uv road down which the cyclopeedy man allus come. All to oncet a bright 'nd joyful look come into them eyes, 'nd ol' Leander riz up in bed 'nd sez, "It's come!" "What is it, Father?" asked his daughter Sarey, sobbin' like.
"If you're sobbin' to hear this songstress," I says, "go for'ard an' camp down at her feet. But don't come pawin' your way into no conversations with me. An' don't hang up no bluff." "'Which if you disturbs me further," retorts Yuba, "I'll turn loose for shore an' crawl your hump a lot."
Yes, my Lord; De monahs sobbin' an' er weepin', Fur ter hyear sweet Jordan roll. "Oh, scoff, you scoffers, scoff! Yes, my Lord; Dem sinners wat's er scoffin' Can't hyear sweet Jordan roll." And as the flood of melody poured through the house, the groups on the outside came in to join the singing.
