'T'were hard to tell what other extravagant freaks Guy may not have indulged in after this, for the orchestra had ceased grating its instruments into accord, and was inviting the dancers to join in a gay "Rush Polka," but the sound of voices near him caught his ear suddenly and he started up in a listening attitude.
Close to us, to port, we passed a big rock that was jutting from the water and over which the long smooth seas washed, foaming with hissing sounds. "He nigh ketched us, day I fetched doctor back to yer father," Sammy informed me. "Ye mind t'were a bit rough that day, and ye couldn't tell yer hand afore yer face, hardly, t'were that thick, and tide she'd drawed us furder inshore 'n I mistrusted.
The arrangement of the verse is not easy: perhaps we should read 'Wishes for husband. Our author usually makes a trisyllable of "gentleman"; here it counts only as a monosyllable. Between this word and the next there is a mark of omission in the MS., and the words "t'were Sir" have been written above. What follows, to the entrance of Thurston, is marked to be omitted.
Upon the walls, and all along the balconies, lie patches of broken moonshine; and in the garden the pale beams revel and kiss the buds until they wake; and "all flowers that blow by day come forth, as t'were high noon." In the library the lamps are lowered.
"I telled 'un afore startin' as how t'were a bit of a job, an' he asks me kin I make it, an' I says I expect I kin, like enough, wid luck. Then he tells me ter think o' th' old woman an' th' children, an' I says it's all right. Frenchy he were willin' too, so in course we started."
Watson left the iron so long on Teddy's shirt that it left a mark: "Say Au Revoir," sang Pearl, "but not goodbye, The past is dead love cannot die, T'were better far had we not met, I loved you then I love you yet." There was something in her voice that made her mother say, "Poor child, I wonder what's ahead of her."
For years of peaceful, calm content, To science and hard study lent, Though others thy good name may blot, T'were wondrous if we loved thee Nott. There was a touch of waggery, if not of mischief, in these verses, which happened to escape detection from the faculty, though not very artfully concealed.
"I warned him about the grade he was givin' them sluice-boxes I went to him first off, didn't I?" Yankee Sam looked around for confirmation. "Do you mind I said at the time he wasn't warshin' that dirt fast enough?" "Anyhow," declared the Judge querulously, "he ought to 'a piped it off. T'were a hydraulickin' proposition. He could handle it just twice as fast at half the cost.
