"With that off the two of us wint on our errind of mercy, though it was lucky I lift that message with O'Dowd, as ye'll larn prisintly! "It didn't take us long to find the house where the sick woman was, for as we turned into the strate, a dirty ould hag, smoking a short pipe, came up to us with a smirk on her ugly phiz.
I used to take boarders; but it's poorly I am, and I can't work as I used to, dochthor." "Well, haven't you got any water?" "Divil a bit. I have to take my pail and go to Bread Strate for it." "And the water doesn't come into your cellar?" "Sure it comes into me cellar sometimes but it's as salt as brine; it's the say water. I've tried to drink it, but it made me sick.
"Can you tell me where the cheaper boarding-houses are?" he asked the woman who had done the honors of the last house. "If it's cheapness you want, you'd better go to Bleecker Street," said the woman with a certain contemptuousness. Peter thanked her, and, walking away, accosted the first policeman. "It's Blaker Strate, is it? Take the Sixth Avenue cars, there beyant," he was informed.
I've heered tell how them water pipes'll be afther busting up with the first frost, just like an old gun, and I don't want any sich doin's on my premises. No sir! I ain't so old but I can pump water out of a well yet, and it's handy enough. 'Tain't more'n just across the strate, and whin 'tain't dusty, nur snowy, nur muddy, it's all right enough."
Respect for the soshul Borde makes me now cave in and klose my commoonication. Squire is a grate filantherpist, but he's not grate at stowing away his lick-er. I tuk him to bed after the 3d tumbler, that the cuss of a british Waiter might not see one of us free & enlightened citizens onable to walk strate. He said it was a wet night, and demanded his umburella.
Probably only Neil could supply the needed information, now that Dailey was dead. Went twenty yards strate for big rock. Eight feet direckly west. Fifty yards in direcksion of suthern Antelope Peke. Then eighteen to nerest cotonwood. All this was plain enough, but the last sentence was the puzzler. J. H. begins hear. Was J. H. a person? If so, what did he begin.
But I hadn't more'n stood him up strate before another man cum crashing down the chimney, his head strikin me viliently again the inards and prostratin my voluptoous form onto the floor. "Mr. Linkin," shoutid the infatooated being, "my papers is signed by every clergyman in our town, and likewise the skoolmaster!"
"But surely," said Miss Jennie, in her most coaxing tone, "there must be some way to see even such a great man as the editor, and if there is, you know the way." "Indade, miss, an' I'm not so sure there is a way, unless you met him in the strate, which is unlikely. As I've told ye, there's twelve men now waitin' for him in the big room.
You come up the old trail past where the thre Eytalians had their camp last year and over the big mountain strate ahead and about another seven miles strate on and then there is the pass with the big black rocks on one side and streaks of white granite on the other and down into the gorge and strate up four or five miles where the old seedar broke off and fell acrost. My god here goes.
They thought this was one of my eccentricities, while the fact is I was stuck. I'm a plane man. I don't know nothin about no ded languages and am a little shaky on livin ones. There4, expect no flowry talk from me. What I shall say will be to the pint, right strate out. I'm not a politician and my other habits air good. I've no enemys to reward, nor friends to sponge. But I'm a Union man.
