Whut you stick you' ole black face crossways at me fer, honey?" But just then the dog rose to look pointedly toward the corner of the house. "Somebody's coming," he meant. "Who you spectin', li'l dog?" Mrs. Silver inquired. Florence and Herbert came round the house, Herbert trifling with a tennis ball and carrying a racket under his arm. Florence was peeling an orange. "For Heavenses' sakes!"
Then she would call out, "Get along you, Jack, pokin’ your fingers into the ’lasses cup; make yourself scarce in this kitchen, or I’ll crack your head mighty nigh as hard as the new Miss will." Then she would scold Leffie, who, she said, "was of no more account than a burnt stick, now she was spectin’ Rondeau. Pity but the boat he come on wouldn’t blow up and let ’em all into perdition together."
Ye got to raise yer voice an' look solemn an' point at the stars. A powerful lot o' Injuns trailed back to Sir Bill, but they was a few went over to the French. I kind o' mistrust thar's some o' them runnygades behind us. They're 'spectin' to git a lot o' plunder an' a horse apiece an' ride 'em back an' swim the river at the place o' the many islands.
"Tell her, Mary, that I want to see her, but not to hurry, for I have plenty of time," Mostyn said, "I have just got back." "Yes, sir; I heard her say she was 'spectin' you to-day."

I asked him what he was singing about home? and where his home was? He turned his face full upon me, letting me see how grave and gentle his eye was, and at the same time there was a wistful expression in it that I felt. "Home ain't nowheres here, missie," he said. "I'm 'spectin' to go by and by." "Do you mean home up there?" said I, lifting my finger towards the sky. Darry fairly laughed.
He's got de passbook, but I ain't yerd him say nuffin' yit 'bout payin' him. I been spectin' Miss Nancy up here, an' de colonel says she's comin' putty soon. She'll fix 'em; but dey ain't no time to waste." While he spoke there came a loud knock at the door, and Chad returned trembling with fear, his face the very picture of despair. "Dat's de tall man hisself, sah, an' his dander's up.
"Don't fear, Chloe; I'll take care of the honor of the family," said Mrs. Shelby, smiling. "But when do you expect to go?" "Well, I want spectin nothin; only Sam, he's a gwine to de river with some colts, and he said I could go long with him; so I jes put my things together. If Missis was willin, I'd go with Sam tomorrow morning, if Missis would write my pass, and write me a commendation."
Come, Ann Elisabeth, go ter scrapin' up, 'n', Mandy Calline, pour up th' dish-water." "Ya'as, yer'd better make er hurry," squeaked "Little Jim," from his perch in the window, "fer Mandy Calline's spectin' her beau ter-night." "Ye'd best shet up yer clatter, Jim, lest ye know what yer talkin' erbout," retorted Mandy Calline, with a pout, making a dash at him with the dish-cloth.
Clare won't hear on 't; but Miss Feely, you know there must be somebody watchin' for the bridegroom." "What do you mean, Tom?" "You know it says in Scripture, 'At midnight there was a great cry made. Behold, the bridegroom cometh. That's what I'm spectin now, every night, Miss Feely, and I couldn't sleep out o' hearin, no ways." "Why, Uncle Tom, what makes you think so?"
"I guess not," observed the other, calmly; "you see I'm prepared to snap off a flashlight picture at any old time. Here's after you, Frank." Uncle Toby had witnessed this threatened exodus with signs of alarm. "Whar ye gwine, Marse Frank? Ain't 'spectin' to leab dis chile erlone hyah be yuh?
