The pipers were pipin' an' the Wee People was dancin', an' while they was dancin' they was singin' like this: 'Monday an' Tuesday an' Monday an' Tuesday an' Monday an' Tuesday' an' it sounded all jerky and bad. 'That's a terrible poor song, says the humpy, speakin' out plain. 'What's that? says the faeries, stoppin' their dance an' gatherin' round him.
And, on the other side, the Jampot's voice: "You naughty boy, stoppin' 'ere for everyone to see, just because it's your birthday, which I wish there wasn't no birthdays, nor there wouldn't be if I had my way." Jeremy turned from Mr. Thompson's window, a scornful smile on his face: "I'm bigger'n you, Nurse," he said. "If I said out loud, 'I won't go, I wouldn't go, and no one could make me."
Brian, turning away from her wide outlook, "we're none so badly off, when we're stoppin' where we are, instid of streelin' about wid the notion of such black villinies in our minds. For sure enough," she said, as she faced round towards the grey-peaked end-walls, and smoke-plumed thatch of Lisconnel, "the world's a quare place to get thravellin' thro', take it as you will."
I wiss Mr Turnbull wad tak' it into his heid to preach frae that text sometime afore it comes, which winna be that lang, I'm thinkin'. The wheels'll be stoppin' at my door or lang." "What gars ye think that, Tibbie? There's no sign o' deith aboot you, I'm sure," said Annie. "Weel, ye see, I canna weel say.
"Me not goin' to be king now, anyhow; so it ob no use stoppin' here. Me go to sea." "Not goin' to be king? How d'ye know that?" "'Cause dat oder nigger, him be made king in a berry short time. You mus' know, dat w'en dey make wan king in dis here place, de peeple choose de man; but dey not let him know. He may guess if him please like me but p'raps him guess wrong like me! Ho! ho!
There wuz a stoppage of the cars some ways from the gate and we got out and walked thinkin' we'd git there quicker, Josiah started to step off first when Blandina rushed past him, waved him back, and descended herself right into the midst of horses heads and huffs and yells and profanity from two drivers who wuz stoppin' the way and wuz revilin' each other, and after we got safe onto the sidewalk and wuz walkin' along I sez to her: "You ort to be more careful, Blandina, or you'll find yourself killed some day and trompled on, I wuz skairt for you."
Good arternoon, sir, and don't git stoppin' no more o' them there bullets." He touched his forelock. "But tell me?" I said. "Did the first lieutenant and doctor make it up all right?" "Bet your life they did, sir," he said with a laugh, moving off. "Them haffairs wus almost o' daily hoccurrence." "Good luck to you," I called out after him, "and thank you for a most instructive twenty minutes!"
Well, never mind only he's a good fellow and 'ud be pretty useful here, with his French and everything. "Well, anyway, I begun to wonder after a while where that fellow driving the hearse was takin' us to. We'd gone out the old Bullyvard Raspail a deuce of a way, and Napoleon One showed no signs of stoppin' them horses, and I didn't see no cemetery.
"Did you hear him, askin' me, a member of the Society for the Prevention of Progress, if I rang for him! That's about all the respect I command in this community. I sure want to apologize for not stoppin' to knock," added the Senator. Bartley grinned. "It was hardly necessary. I heard you." "I just came up to see if you would take dinner with me and my missus. We're goin' to eat right soon.
The very last time I was there, they took and hung up ... me and some other fellers had been stoppin' up a bit late the night before, and kickin' up a bit of a shindy, and what did those girls do? They got the barman to come into my room while I was asleep, and hang a bucket o' water to one of the beams over the bed. Then I'm blamed if they didn't tie a string from it to my big toe!
