They minded their own bizness and didn't do any hurt so fur as I could see, but Elder Wessel couldn't bear 'em. Sez he to me one day: "I spoze they represent the new young woman?" He said it real skornful, and Arvilly, who wuz present, took him up real snappish. "Well, what of it? What have they done?"
It wuz galdin' to Uncle Sam and finally he had to stop it. But he didn't do it out of meanness. He jest had to, for of course you know your own folks come first." And thinkin' mebby I'd been too hash describin' her folks I went on, "I spoze mebby that high stun wall of yourn has kinder stiffened and hardened the nature of your folks and made it harder for 'em to change.
He wuz all alone, and skairt so we spoze and that fall took him off on the second day. "And as quick as we could git ready we sot off here. "It didn't seem really right, but you know Father hain't known anything for upwards of two years, and you know jest how bad we did want to come here. "But I don't know as it wuz exactly right to come off so soon after he fell.
How he chuckled as he told of "one of them women who he guessed was a leetle crazy." "Why, jest think on't! One day I heard some comments on myself after I had bid on a rag carpet and offered more than the other women knew it was worth. "She's got a million, I hear." "Wanter know merried?" "No; just an old maid." "Judas Priest! Howd she git it?" "Writin', I 'spoze.
Let's keep up and look forrerd to goin' home; that's the best fruit of travellin' abroad anyway, unless it is seein' Tommy so well and hearty." Josiah looked at his rosy face and didn't complain another word. He jest worships Thomas Josiah. Well, after we eat this meal we went out walkin', Josiah and I and Tommy, and I spoze Carabi went along, too, though we didn't see him.
He said he wanted to surprise the crowd in the hotel and the hull of Well's Island with the fish he would git, and then I spoze the idee of the dinner wuz drawin' him onward. I brung up several arguments, such as the danger, fatigue, etc., but he stood firm. But I had one weepon left that seldom failed, and as a last resort I drawed that weepon, and he fell woonded to once.
And without lookin' like one, or, that is, without havin' the same features at all, the Deacon did make me think of a steel trap. I spoze it wuz because he wuz so sound, and sort o' firm. A steel trap is real firm when it lays hold and tries to be.
They eat in common out of a large bowl and I spoze they don't use napkins or finger bowls. But unlike the poor in our frozen winter cities, as Arvilly said, there is little danger of their starving; warm they will be from year's end to year's end, and the bread tree and cocoanut palm supply food, and the traveller's palm supplies a cool, delicious drink.
And I'd hearn on him too when Josiah smashed his finger or slipped up on the ice or anything, not that I wanted to in that tone. Arvilly thought mebby she could canvass the royal family or some on 'em, and Tommy wuz willin' to go to any new place, and I spoze Carabi wuz too.
"Wall," sez I, "I am a disap'inted creeter. I wanted to do my part towards gittin' them good, noble folks enough to live on till Spring." Sez I, "Who is it that you are willin' to make such a extraordinary outlay for?" "The Rager," sez he. "The Rager," sez I dreamily; "who's that?" "Why, the Rager from India. I spoze," sez he, "that he is one of the raginest men that you ever see.
