"Mind what you're about, Mac," growled Potts. "You know he could lick the stuffin' out o' you." The ex-schoolmaster produced some sort of indignant sound in his throat and turned, as if he meant to go out. The Colonel came a little nearer. Mac flung up his head and squared for battle. Potts, in a cold sweat, dropped a lot of tinware with a rattle, while the Colonel said, "No, no.
"'No, she says, lookin' up to whar Marsa John sat; 'I think I'll take a leg ob dat goose' jes so. "Well, marsa cut off de leg an' put a little stuffin' an' gravy on wid a spoon, an' says to me, 'Chad, see what dat gemman'll have. "'What'll you take for dinner, sah? says I. 'Nice breast o' goose, or slice o' ham? "'No; I think I'll take a leg of dat goose, he says.
In the different camps the boys told the same story "He knocks the stuffin' out of her!" The stay-at-home Briton, warm with roast beef and indigestion, will wonder that one man amongst a hundred should be suffered to ill-treat a thin, dough-faced little woman. Why did they not arise and slaughter him? Had Tom stolen a colt in the cattle-country he would have been lynched.
"Very good, Losh; out wid the goose and we'll cram the bit o' dumplin' into him for stuffin'." "Ah! superb, excellent," cried La Roche, laughing, as he lifted out the goose, into which Bryan thrust the mass of superfluous pudding; after which the hole was tied up and the bird re-consigned to the pot.
He says somethin' or other, but she looks him up an' down, front an' backwent, an' she just tongues him scadderin' out o' doors, and he went away stuffin' all the papers back into his hat, talkin' most abusefully. Then she come back an' freed her mind against Jim an' his mother for not havin' warned her of her upbringin's, which it come out she hadn't ever been told. They didn't say naun to her.
Great satisfaction was expressed by all, and Tilly and Prue were so elated by the commendation of Ma and the aunts, that they set forth their dinner, sure everything was perfect. "Tilly Bassett, whatever made you put wormwood and catnip in your stuffin'?" demanded Ma, trying not to be severe, for all the rest were laughing, and Tilly looked ready to cry.
I don't set up to be no better than my neighbours, specially with my tail snipped off the way 'tis, but I want you all to know Tedda's quit fightin' in harness or out of it, 'cep' when there's a born fool in the pasture, stuffin' his stummick with board that ain't rightly hisn, 'cause he hain't earned it." "Meanin' me, madam?" said the yellow horse.
I knew well enough what she was up to, an' didn't mind her at first, but it ain't pleasant havin' people makin' faces an' stuffin' their noses before you, an' so I got up an' asked 'em to let me out.
I thought at first that whole battery over there in the fort had shot at me all at once. Goodness, but it hurt! My, but that fellow could throw a stone! Seemed to me that it went clear into me, and bent my back-bone. I've been feeling to see if it wasn't bent. But we got the works all right, didn't we?" "You bet we did," Si answered exultantly. "Licked the stuffin' out of 'em.
"Nor'm, I ain't," and Jeems Henry seemed disturbed. "Then you'd better come around to the kitchen. We'll see what we can find." At this unheard-of generosity, Uncle Billy's eyes opened widely and he exploded in remonstrance. "Now, hol' on dar, Miss Hallie! Hol' on. You ain' got none too much fo' yo'se'f, d'out stuffin' dis yere six-bit rat hole wid waffles an' milasses."
