Sperrit says 't Brunhilde Susan c'n learn if dogs moo out on the farm, 'n' f'r her part she'd rather be responsible f'r any man's baby 'n for one husband's collar-bands. So Brunhilde Susan 's settled, 'n' Mrs. Allen 's awful sorry 't she didn't send the cow along with her too, for she says 't it's harder 'n you'd think to keep a cow content nights in a chicken-house.
Mebbe some night, Harry, when we tie up to the bank, we'll see a deer comin' down to drink. What do you say to that?" Harry's eyes kindled, too. "I say that I want the first shot." Jarvis laughed. "True sperrit," he said. "Nobody will set up a claim ag'inst you, less it's that lunkhead, Ike, my nephew. Are you willin' to let him have it, Ike?" Ike grinned and nodded.
I thinks, 'tis an evil sperrit, sae I set awa like a hare game leg an' aal tearin' towards the park wall like a whippit, followed by the evil sperrit that made no sound wiv his pads, but was growlin' terrible aal the time. 'Then it wasn't a real dog? I interrupted here. 'Wasn't a real durg? replied Geordie indignantly, his eyebrows puckering and his jowl coming forward aggressively.
No "sperrit" of Licorice Stick's acquaintance had ever cast a spell like this. They had called in weird voices but they had never contrived a menu before his very eyes. He went forth armed with the hammer and tacks and a pile of mysterious cards, a little proud but trembling a little, too. There was something uncanny about this; he would see it through but it was a strange, dark business.
"I think you'll find it pleasanter a-stoppin' here," he said, "if Mis' Dimar'll board ye until the time fur startin' home. Her sperrit was so up that she said she didn't aim to see you no more, an' you know how she is, Esmeraldy, when her sperrit's up." The girl went and clung around his neck, kneeling at his side, and shedding tears.
"It isn't that," said her husband, shaking his hand, "it's a sperrit, a ghost, that I've seen." "Indeed!" said Mrs. Mudge, sarcastically, "perhaps you can tell whose it is." "It was the sperrit of Sally Baker," said Mudge, solemnly. "What did she say?" demanded Mrs. Mudge, a little curiously.
'Naw daywt, says Dick, 'if it ain't somefin' worse. 'What do'st a' mean, bor? says I. 'Well, says Dick slowly like, 'it might be the sperrit from th' pit, for 'twas in no mortal man to holler out like that cry we just heered. Wornt those yower words, bor?" Mr. Duney, thus appealed to, nodded portentously, as though to indicate that his words were well justified.
You put me more in mind of a sperrit. But there seems something wrong to-night, my dear. Husband cross?" "No. He never is. He's gone to bed early." "Then what is it?" "I cannot tell you. I have done wrong to-day. And I want to eradicate it... Well I will tell you this Jude has been here this afternoon, and I find I still love him oh, grossly! I cannot tell you more." "Ah!" said the widow.
Why, it says as God put his sperrit into the workman as built the tabernacle, to make him do all the carved work and things as wanted a nice hand. And this is my way o' looking at it: there's the sperrit o' God in all things and all times weekday as well as Sunday and i' the great works and inventions, and i' the figuring and the mechanics.
Myrtle Hazard was as pretty a child and as good a child as ever I see, if you did n't rile her; 'n' d' d y' ever see one o' them hearty lively children, that had n't a sperrit of its own?
