So the judge was invited to our house for dinner, and ma bought a new lamp for the center table on account of it; and Myrtle was all dressed up, and so was I. And ma put on a lot of airs, stretchin' things a lot about her folks and her do'n's in society and pa's wonderful speeches some the judge hadn't heard.
Everybody knows that that is, everybody but Grandfather and the gang down here," he added, in disgust. "I don't say you're wrong. Laban tells me that some of those singin' folks get awful high wages, more than the cap'n of a steamboat, he says, though that seems like stretchin' it to me. But, as I say, Cap'n Lote was proud, and nobody but the best would satisfy him for Janie, your mother.
Squire Breet inclined his head slightly, as if to admit the correctness of Joe Digg's position. "I believe ev'ry word the gentleman has said," continued the drunkard, "and" here he paused long enough to let an excitable member exclaim "Bless the Lord!" and burst into tears "and he could have put it all a good deal stronger without stretchin' the truth.
"A fine mess you'd make of it livin' alone." "I'd not be alone, belave me," replied Butler. "There's many a place I'd be welcome in this town no thanks to ye." "And there's many a place ye wouldn't have been if it hadn't been for me. I'm tellin' ye that," retorted Mrs. Butler, genially. "And that's not stretchin' the troot much, aither," he answered, fondly. Aileen was adamant.
Wall, we got there considerably before anon and we found that Moon's insted of bein' up in another planet wuz a big, long sort a low buildin' settled right down onto this old earth, with a immense piazza stretchin' along the side on't. And Miss Flamm and Josiah and me disembarked from the carriage right onto the end of it.
The Honourable Hilary grunted in response. "Be'n on another wild expedition, I suppose." "I went up Sawanec to stretch my legs a little," Austen answered, sitting down beside his father. "Funny," remarked the Honourable Hilary, "I never had this mania for stretchin' my legs after I was grown."
He had noticed the gentleman's involuntary pause and his interest in the opposite house, and had stopped work for a moment to watch the stranger as he went on down the street. "Nev' min' 'bout dat man," said the elder one. "You 'ten' ter yo' wuk an' finish dat bairl-stave. You spen's enti'ely too much er yo' time stretchin' yo' neck atter other people.
Islands with the virgin forest stretchin' down to the edge of the water, and cool green shadders layin' on the velvet and mossy sward as you could see as you looked into the green aisles.
Well, you know how it is waitin' in a push of people for a steamer. Everybody's excited and anxious and keyed up, ready to jump at every whistle, and stretchin' their necks for a peek down the river. It's as catchin' as the baseball fever when you're in a mob watchin' the scores posted. I finds myself actin' just as eager as any, and me only doin' messenger work.
Mostly arms and legs, Skeet is, and sort of swivel-jointed all over, with a back slope to his forehead and an under-cut chin. Nothin' reticent about his beak, though. It juts out from the middle of his face like the handle of a lovin' cup, and with his habit of stretchin' his neck forward he always seems to be followin' a scent, like one of these wienerwurst retrievers.
