And he sez: "If some Egyptian come to Jonesville and wanted a rooster's tail feather, we wouldn't say nuthin' aginst it." But I sez: "This is different; this would spile the looks of the ostriches." And he said there wuz sunthin' said in the Bible about "spilin' the Egyptians."
And Josiah was ketched jest as I wus, for he had a piece of winter wheat that wus spilin' to be cut; and he had got the most of it down, and had to finish it: it wus lodged so he had to cut it by hand, the machine wouldn't work on it. And jest as quick as Elburtus had got so he could see out of that eye, nothin' to do but what he had got to go out and help Josiah cut that wheat.
"Now when your gun, Squire, was a knockin' over Blue-nose, and makin' a proper fool of him, and a knockin' over Jonathan, and a spilin' of his bran-new clothes, the English sung out chee, chee, chee, till all was blue agin. You had an excellent gun entirely then: let's see if they will sing out chee, chee, chee, now, when we take a shot at them.
"No, you won't do nothin' o' the kind, old gen'lem'n; but you'll double-reef your temper, and listen to wot I've got to say; for it's very partikler, an' won't keep long without spilin'." "What have you got to say, then?" said the captain, becoming interested, but still feeling nettled at the interruption. "Can't tell you here." "Why not?"
I thought maybe ye'd be glad to see us." "Well, ain't I?" "Hello, Bill," and Bill's fat brother-in-law came up. "Thus does me good, an' yer sister is spilin' to see ye. We'll hev one on this." "No, Sam, I ain't drinkin'; I've got biz to tend." "Wall, hev just one to clear yer head. Then settle yer business and come back to us." So Bill went to have one to clear his head.
"It's nothin' but a splurge," said Jimmy; "sooner or later everybody splurges shows off! Meshach's jest spilin' with money and he must have a splurge two hosses and a nigger. If it ain't a splurge I can't tell what ails him to save my life." A general chorus went up of "Dogged if I kin tell to save my life!"
"Don't," he continued, pocketing the money, and turning to Charmian, "don't go spilin' things by lettin' this young cove go a-marryin' an' a-churchin' ye nobody never got married as didn't repent it some time or other, an' wot's more, when Marriage comes in at the door, Love flies out up the chimbley an' there y'are!
They've got through comin' for today. "There ain't one of 'em within cannon-shot, and won't be till we go out and hunt 'em up again. You've come near spilin' the spring with your tormented foolishness. What on earth possessed you to climb that boss? You need half killin', you do. Go up higher there and fill your canteens from where the water's clear. Be slow and careful, and don't rile the water.
And I sez, "Grantin' that rich men do drink and carouse at their clubs, as I don't know whether they do or not, two wrongs never made one right, and the liquor couldn't hurt 'em so much, for they can buy it pure, and the poor man's drink is pizen by adulteration, makin' a more dangerous drunk, ruinin' their health and makin' 'em spilin' for fights and bloodshed.
Also, they know I'll stand no fooling. Fear an' love, rightly mixed, boys plenty of love, an' jest enough fear to keep it from spilin' that's a mixture'll carry a man far leastways with animals!"
