There was no "blowin time" there, you may depend. We plowed all the fall for dear life; in winter we thrashed, made and mended tools, went to market and mill, and got out our firewood and rails. As soon as frost was gone, came sowin and plantin, weedin and hoein then harvest and spreadin compost then gatherin manure, fencin and ditchin and then turn tu and fall plowin agin.
'I often noticed, said he, 'when a mist id be spreadin', a little brier to look as big, you'd think, as an oak tree; an' same way, in the dimmness iv the nightfall, I often seen a man tremblin' and crassin' himself as if a sperit was before him, at the sight iv a small thorn bush, that he'd leap over with ase if the daylight and sunshine was in it.
It always seems like as if death has a double power with the fire and the deep and nothing but the sky above to fan the flame. "We soon saw the smoke. It was from a point just over the turn, where the clouds dip down and touch the waves. A little tail of smoke crawled up and hung black and dirty, not gettin' any bigger nor spreadin' much.
You'll 'ear them in the 'ouse to-morrer talkin' as if it was spreadin' all over America. The Swedes, they think it his. I know it hisn't." "But you've got your land all right?" "Oh, yes; we've got our land, an' we never say aught against polygamy, o' course father, an' mother, an' me." On a table-land overlooking all the city stands the United States garrison of infantry and artillery.
"'Cut it! Cut it! says Butsy, spreadin' out his hoss paper. 'Act like you has some sense, 'n' I puts you hep to a hot scheme I gets out of this paper us three can pull it off to a finish! "'I don't want in on no scheme with that lantern snatcher! says Peewee then to me. "'If you don't age some, I says to Peewee, 'nursie'll come around here, 'n' put a nice fresh panty-waist on you!
Hor- hor! There's naught like a village for findin' out everybody's little secrets, an' our village beats every other one I ever heard tell on at that kind o' work, it do reely now! I say, Passon, when they was spreadin' all the stories round about you an' Miss Vancourt, I could a' told a tale about the 'oley bit, couldn't I?"
You was with Mis' Farrington's folks; wasn't you, she that was Theodora McAlister?" "Yes." "She does a good deal of writin', I hear. Does she get much out of it?" Phebe hesitated, assailed by doubts as to how large a story Mrs. Richardson would swallow, and her hostess swept on, "She's spreadin' herself a good deal, and it can't all be her earnin's. Do you take after her?"
"Humph!" ejaculated Buck, "didn't I tell you not to trouble Roarin' Bull that he and his boys could lick you if you had been twenty instead of ten. But how came ye to hear o' this cock-and-bull story about the Redskins?" "We got it from Hunky Ben, an' he's not the boy to go spreadin' false reports."
Said he was playin' he was a slice of bread and was spreadin' himself. Haw! haw!" Captain Sol laughed in sympathy. "But he didn't mean no harm by it," explained the proud father. "He's got the tenderest little heart in the world.
But knowin' the clown pays for all; sech trivial considerations as pullin' on tent ropes an' spreadin' sawdust disappears before the honour of his a'quaintance. It's my knowin' the clown that leads to disaster.
