Us town folks use that a whole lot. I cal'late most everybody's come to look at it as a reg'lar public road to the beach." "Why, yes, I suppose they have," I said, puzzled to know what he was driving at. "It is a public road, practically." "No, 'tain't, neither. It's a private way, and if you wanted to you could shut it off any day. A good many folks would have shut it off afore this."
"'Tain't my monkey, so I hain't got nothin' to say about it," and Joe was impatient now; "but if he was mine, I'll bet he'd do what I told him to." It seemed almost as if Mr. Stubbs's brother knew what had been said about him, for he nestled close to Toby, hiding his face on the boy's neck in a way that would have prevented his master from whipping him even if he had been disposed so to do.
Jim Reid shook his head in puzzled doubt. The cowboys were clearly divided. "He's too good a hand for a tenderfoot," argued one; "carried that off like an old-timer." "'Tain't like Nick to lay down so easy for anybody," added another. "Nick's on to something about Mr. Patches that we ain't next to," insisted a third. "Or else we're all bein' strung for a bunch of suckers," offered still another.
But there's mighty little worth telling. When I began I thought I had a good scheme, but it seems pretty weak and dish-watery now." "Most things do while their bein' done, if you really care about doin' 'em well. Heave ahead! You said 'twas a sea yarn, and I'm a sort of specialist when it comes to salt water. Maybe I might prescribe just the right tonic, though 'tain't very likely."
I did the job right well, though, if I do say it, and I ha'n't charged very steep for it, neither. Couldn't do it, somehow! went too much against the grain. And well, can't you shake hands over it? You're a tip-top paymaster, and if you want anything done, I'll come and do it, if I'm in China there! Don't you lay out another cent on this settlement, though, 'tain't worth it."
The cows got out and went up to Roney's an' I had to chase 'em; 'tain't any joke runnin' round after cows such a night as this." Having relieved his mind of its grievance, Charlie sat down before the oven door, and, opening it, laid a stick of wood along its outer edge and thrust his feet into the hot interior, propping his heels against the stick.
She saw Gray's face white with terror, and then she saw Marjorie picking herself up from the ground and Jason swaying dizzily on his feet with a rabbit in his hand. "'Tain't nothin'," he said stoutly, and he grinned his admiration openly for Marjorie, who looked such anxiety for him.
He's lazy, and he likes to spoon, and he puts up with a good deal of petting from the girls, who wouldn't, if he could get it? but he is jolly and big-hearted, and don't put on any airs, with us, at least, and the mess like him first-rate. 'Tain't his fault that he's handsome and a regular lady-killer.
Oh, ain't it awful!" "'Tain't a dream, then, 'tain't a dream! Somehow I most wish it was. Dog'd if I don't, Huck." "What ain't a dream?" "Oh, that thing yesterday. I been half thinking it was." "Dream! If them stairs hadn't broke down you'd 'a' seen how much dream it was! I've had dreams enough all night with that patch-eyed Spanish devil going for me all through 'em rot him!" "No, not rot him.
Daggett's face grew serious. Then her soft bosom heaved with mirth. "'Tain't everybody that's lucky enough to have a minister right in the family," said she briskly. "Mebbe if I was to hear a sermon preached every day in the week I'd get some piouser myself. I've been comparing this with the fair we had last summer. It ain't so grand, but it's newer.
