Yop, or Jaap, or Jaaf, rose tottering, made a low obeisance, and then answered in the semi-respectful, semi-familiar manner of an old, confidential family servant, as the last existed among our fathers: "T'ank 'ee, Miss Dus, wid all my heart," he answered. "Pretty well to-day; but ole Sus, he fail, and grow ol'er and ol'er desp'ate fast!"
Did not "John Darby" call them from their firesides or their beds a dozen times every winter, to scramble out across the shingle? As often as not, there was nothing to be done but drag the dead bodies from the surf; but sometimes the dead revived some fair-haired, mystic foreigner from the northern seas, who came to and said, "T'ank you," and nothing else.
Maybe Miss Daisy wouldn't read us de story, and de angels, and de shepherds, and dat great light what come down, and make us feel good for Christmas; and uncle Darry, he'll t'ank de Lord." The last words Were put in a half-questioning form to me, rather taking for granted that I would readily do what was requested.
"Chaw him up, like so much 'baccy," answered the Chippewa "yes, chaw him up, lest Pottawattamie get hold on him, and ask one of King George's men to read him. No good to hab letter in sich times." "The general who employed you to carry that letter, will scarce thank you for your care." "Yes, he do t'ank all same pay all same letter no use now." "How can you know that?
"But, massa," said Timbo, "we escape great danger; sure we t'ank Him who preserved us." "Indeed we ought to do so," said Kate; "and we are thankful to you, Timbo, for reminding us." "I am sure my father would," I heard Natty say to Leo. Stanley took a pace or two up and down, and then turning to Timbo, said, "You are right, old friend; but it would be somewhat out of my way, I am sorry to say.
Archie remembered afterwards that he had presence of mind enough to get on his feet when they all sang "God Save the King," but it really seemed a dream that Ventnor was shaking hands with him and saying, "I t'ank you, me; I t'ank you. You save me great awkwardness." And then, before he knew it, he had promised to go to the hotel the next day and play for Ventnor.
Lawrence could not resist the temptation to ride forward and offer his own horse, although Colonel Marchbanks rode alongside of his daughter like an inflexible guardian. "You will find my horse much easier to manage, Miss Marchbanks," he said, "and quite as strong and fleet as your own." The colonel frowned, and his daughter said, "No, t'ank you, senhor," with a little bow and a brilliant smile.
Lawrence joined them with a genuine British cheer, but their adversaries did not await the onset. They turned, fled, and speedily scattered themselves among the ruins. "T'ank God, massa, we's in time," said Quashy, wiping with his sleeve the perspiration that streamed from his face, as they returned quickly to Manuela. "We must not wait a moment here," said Pedro, hurriedly.
Some left the plantation; others remained to harvest the crops. One and all they remembered to thank God for their freedom. They immediately began to hold meetings, singing soul stirring spirituals. Harriett recalls one of these songs. It is as follows: T'ank ye Marster Jesus, t'ank ye, T'ank ye Marster Jesus, t'ank ye, T'ank ye Marster Jesus, t'ank ye Da Heben gwinter be my home.
"Who is this from?" he asked, as he took the letter from Sam. "Fum young Marse Houghton. He ain't drowned no mo'n I be." "Thank God!" ejaculated Bodine, with such fervor that he was heard in the rooms above. "Yes," said Sam, "I reckon He de one ter t'ank." Sam had imbibed the impression that Bodine had left his young master to drown. "What is it?" whispered Mara over the banisters.
