I 'spect that's what made him do it, don't you?" "I don't know, dear," said Avery rather shortly. Gracie peered round into her face. "Mrs. Denys, you don't like Father, do you?" she said. "My dear, that's not a nice question to ask," said Avery, with her eyes on her work. "I don't know why not," said Gracie. "I don't like him myself, and he knows I don't.
I spect it was the rum as preserved yer. It was the death of yer when yer was alive, an' now yer dead, it preserves yer like like a mummy."
"Dar now, you's done finished, Miss Gracie," said Agnes, turning to leave the room; then she laughed to herself as she went, "Miss Lu she needn't think she don't 'ceive nobody wid dem grand airs ob hers; 'spect we all knows she been glad nuff to go ef de cap'n didn't tole her she got for to stay behin'." Grace ran out and joined her sister at the door.
The more she handled them the more reckless she became. "I 'spect I 'se gwine to try dese heah stockin's on!" she said, with a giggle, as she drew the silken lengths over her bare, dusty feet. "Gee Bob! Ain't them scrumptious! I look lak a shore-'nuff circus lady!" She tipped the mirror in order to get the full reflection, and stood for a moment entranced.
"Greased lightnin'!" said Tunk, shaking his head. "Won twenty-seven races." "You're a good deal of a horseman, I take it." said the teacher. "Wal, some," said he, expectorating thoughtfully. "But I don't have no chance here. What d'ye 'spect of a man livin, with them ol' maids ?" He seemed to have more contempt than his words would carry.
"Do you want her only a few days, or do you calculate to have her stop longer? because you know it wouldn't be worth the while to put oneself out for a week." "Oh, we want her to stay; if we suit each other." "Well, I don't know," said the woman, going on with her sweeping. "I could let you have Hannah, but I 'spect I'll want her to hum. What does Mis' Rossitur calculate to give?"
"Arrested, I 'spect," cried O'Day, boldly; "Van Dorn's hit in the throat." "He'll not talk much, then," muttered the woman; "his time had to come. Where will I find another lover at my age? Why, honey," she chuckled to herself, in a looking-glass, "that son of his'n may come back. He's took a shine to Huldy: why not to me?"
"You know it is de Lord that sends all our 'flictions, an' you must 'member de pretty words you was jes a singin', 'He doeth all things well. He says, 'What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know here after. De great God can change your father's heart, and 'cline him to 'spect your principles, and I do blieve he will do it."
"Don' know," shaking her turbaned head. "Ef 'twas rheumatiz, or ef 'twas a cut, or ef 'twas one o' dem yer colds, Hagar'd 'spect to know; but can't tell nuffin 'bout fevers, nohow. 'Tw'u'd be jes' as de Lord's willin'!" "Will you go, or send something in the morning?" queried Noll. "Ef it's pleasant, honey, Hagar'll go wid ye. Yer supper's waiting fur ye!" Noll sighed, and did not stir.
"Don't know, sah! don' know nuffin' 'bout it." Arthur slowly undressed, and placing his clothes near the bedside, lay down upon his pillow. "Jeff, do you ever expect to get to sleep in such a tumult as this?" "Guy, massa, guess I does. Neber was so sleepy afore in all my life.
