Elihu's as good a boy as ever stepped; but if he could be took down a peg an' I shouldn't care if 'twas before the whole township, too he'd be worth more by half than he is to-day. Law! you'd ought to seen him a hundred years ago or more, arter I gi'n him a good spankin'. Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth." "Oh, don't! He's comin'," Amarita begged her.
A high, energetic voice was making itself heard even above the sizzle of the meat and the voice of a crying baby. "What under the sun makes ye set up that yell every night jest at supper-time? Ye ain't a-lackin' anything, as I kin see, exceptin' a spankin', and I'm too busy to give ye that. Hark! There comes your mammy, now. Straighten up yer face and show 'er what a good boy you've been."
She goes in for reg'lar discipline, same ez she got an' survived in her day; an' of co'se, ez Sonny come to her ez gran'son the same day he was born to us ez plain son, we never like to lift our voices ag'in anything she says. She loves him thess ez well ez we do, only on a diff'rent plan. She give him the only spankin' he's ever had an' the only silver cup.
"Not all of them," replied another voice, in a different tone; "there's only himself, his wife, and their two spankin' daughters, upon the jauntin' car; but, blood alive, look at the sons! Devil so purty a lot of sweat and groans I seen this twelvemonth as the two is riding on, in the shape of a pair of blood-horses, so that you may put the blood, Barney, along wid the sweat and the groans, agra.
Twenty-seven seconds one punch n' a spankin' pair of horses for the best wife Billy Roberts ever had in his long experience." All of Saxon's old physical worship of her husband revived and doubled on itself many times. He was in all truth a hero, worthy to be of that wing-helmeted company leaping from the beaked boats upon the bloody English sands.
I've outgrown spankin' though I'd be most willin' to submit if 'twould be any relief to your feelin's, or mine either. I tell you this here's the greatest day ever shone on Sobrante Ranch, not barrin' even the one when the 'captain' came home with the title in her hand." "You misguided boy, don't I know it?

"Y' couldn' hev it a cent short o' seven hunderd an' fifty," he declared. "You'll never get it, sir, never. Five hunderd's a spankin' figger." "Bah!" "Telling you what's what. There's thousands of acres around here just as good as your'n any day in the week.
"Spankin' kids ain't a man's work, anyhow," he added, glancing meaningly at his wife. "Oh, Jake!" she cried tremulously, "you wouldn't think o' makin' me do it? I jist couldn't!" "Well, somebody's got to," said Jake, setting his teeth, "'cordin' to Susan an' the Dook. What does an old maid like her know about bringin' up kids, anyhow?" he added rebelliously.

"You need a good spankin' to make you good-natured," she said. "I think the Deacon has done first rate, and you ought 'o " "Let go o' me," he snarled, raising his hand as if to strike her.
