"There war a lot of thim phrases used ridding the counthry sodding him and all thim sort of disagreeable sayings; but I can't swear to any one exactly at Mrs. Mehan's thim's the sort of words." "Very well. Now I think you told us that when the prisoner desired you to take the dead body to the police at Carrick, he told you he was going to some place: where did he say he was going to?"
"But he met the party who had taken this oath at your sister's wedding?" "He did." "And the same subject was spoken of there; was it?" "What subject?" "The propriety of sodding Captain Ussher?" "I don't know about propriety." "Well, then, the advisability of doing so?" "Oh, yer honer, I aint no scollard. I can't make nothin' of thim long words."
The largest detail was known as the Fort detail, building and sodding a fort on the Potomac side. About three hundred men were worked on it. They got about three square inches or five cents worth of plug tobacco and a little drink of whiskey per day. The other details only give one pound of salt pork and a pint of vinegar for ten days' work.
"At any rate, they talked of sodding Captain Ussher at the wedding didn't they?" "I niver said so." "Well, but did they?" "Talk of sodding him! Faix I don't know; I don't think they said sodding." "Did they say killing?" "I won't say they did." "Or murdering?" "No; they did not say nothin' about murdher."
Five minutes more to penetrate the grounds to where a superb vehicle stood, drawn by two of the finest horses I had seen in Washington for many a long day. As I was making my way around this equipage I came upon a plot in a condition of upheaval preparatory to new sodding and the planting of several choice shrubs. In the midst of the sand thus exposed a single head-stone rose.
The little girl uttered a piercing scream, and gathering her dolls in her arms huddled into a corner of the bench. Why the animal had followed so closely behind me I could not tell, but once in the garden, it was plain to see he was bent upon doing considerable damage. He was more enraged than ever, and scattered the sodding about in every direction.
"When the order come to the flats that all hands must turn out and sleep in the park, according to the instructions of the consulting committee of the City Club and the Murphy Draying, Returfing and Sodding Company, there was a look of a couple of fires and an eviction all over the place.
Jacklin and his outfit returned, ten strong, and with thirty men at work, the bridge grew. They began laying the logs on the brush after dinner, and the work of sodding the bridge went forward at the same time.
And now they were passing mounds of freshly turned red earth long stretches of hillocks banked high and squared at the ends. Hundreds of negroes were at work sodding them; here and there a flag fluttered and a bayonet gleamed. "I believe all these little hills and ditches have something to do with forts," said Ailsa. "Certainly that great mound must be part of a fort. Do you see the cannon?"
