Although he never talked much, still, by being there among the regular customers, he made their acquaintance, and in course of time became quite intimate with Mr Tacker, Mr Mould's foreman; and even with Mr Mould himself, who openly said he was a long-headed man, a dry one, a salt fish, a deep file, a rasper; and made him the subject of many other flattering encomiums.
"Well, first and last, them Trents have done a heap for this section of our 'native. And they're square folks, every identical of them. Even the little tacker, that boy Ned. There's more in his head than he gets credit for, and one these days he'll show there is.
I know a well-meaning Man that is very well pleased to risque his good Fortune upon the Number 1711, because it is the Year of our Lord. I am acquainted with a Tacker that would give a good deal for the Number 134. Several would prefer the Number 12000 before any other, as it is the Number of the Pounds in the great Prize.

He was a good deal like Monty is, only more oneasy if anybody could be; an' from the time he could toddle he was hand in glove with Jim Pettijohn's little tacker, Nate. Nate, he wasn't so smart as some folks. Not a fool, uther, an' consid'able better'n half-witted, but queer queer.

'A beautiful show, sir, rejoined Tacker. 'The horses are prouder and fresher than ever I see 'em; and toss their heads, they do, as if they knowed how much their plumes cost.
" and again the top of the forefinger was lodged in his mouth, "vat is 'skönt'? bootifool? jag tacker; like von bootifool flicka, gal, and ze odare skepps like old vomans." So saying, he raised his hat and gravely wished me good day. "Good dag," he exclaimed again, standing upright in the boat "Farväl!" "Good dag. Farväl!" repeated his companion.
