Any woman what had a baby 'bout my age would wet nurse me, so I growed up in de quarters an' was as well an' as happy as any other chil'. "Us little tykes would gather black walnuts in de woods an' store 'em under de cabins to dry. "At night when de work was all done an' de can'les was out us'd set 'roun' de fire an' eat cracked nuts an' taters.
Is it just as it used to be in feyther's days? 'Well, a cannot say as it is, said Kester, thankful to have a subject started. 'They'n pleughed up t' oud pasture-field, and are settin' it for 'taters. They're not for much cattle, isn't Higginses. They'll be for corn in t' next year, a reckon, and they'll just ha' their pains for their payment.
"When I was a young man," said one of my neighbors, "the traders never thought of bringin' meal in here. If a man run out of meal, why, he was out, and he had to live on 'taters or somethin' else. Nowadays we dress better, and live better, but some other feller allers has his hands in our pockets." Then it is "good-by" to the old independence that made such characters manly.
"I'se done cyar'ed one er dese yer I'sh taters in my pocket twell hit sprouted, en de rhematiks ain' never knowed 'twuz dar. Hit's wuss en wuss." As they passed on, he hobbled painfully up the rocky path, leaning heavily upon his stick and grunting audibly at each rheumatic twinge. Nicholas and Eugenia followed the highway and turned into the avenue of cedars.
"No; you can go on with that," replied Mr Frewen; "but keep seated all you can." "Toe be sure, sir. I've often seen the cook sitting down to peel the taters and stir the soup." "Well, let that fire out now, and get some rest," said Mr Brymer. "You startled us all."
Roden at this minute, meanin' to twist his neck; and what's worse, there's others men of dedication like myself who has gone to the murder, or something. And they'll get it too, with the story they've got to tell, and them poor devils planted thick as taters in the cheap corner of the cemetery. I've warned yer, mister."
All he wanted now, so Todd concluded, was a good soup and "a drap o' sumpin warmin' an' he'd pull thu'. But dere warn't no use tryin' ter git him to take it 'cause all he would eat was taters an' corn pone an' milk an' sich like, 'cause he said dere warn't money 'nough fer de three " whereupon Todd turned his head away and caught his breath, and then tried to pass it off as an unbidden choke none of which subterfuges deceived Harry in the least.
"Who were the two that recovered?" "Eh? I dunno." Mark stared. "Well, how should I know what their names are? Hashy and Quashy, or something of the kind. They're out and outers to eat, and don't seem a bit the worse. I called 'em Soup and Taters yesterday after seeing 'em at their feeding." "What are you talking about?" "I was answering your questions about the black fellows."
"I tell ye, Bill," said the Trapper to his companion, as he stirred the soup with a long ladle, "this pot isn't act'ally runnin' over with taters, but ye can see a bit occasionally ef ye look sharp and keep the ladle goin' round pretty lively.
It was then handed round, and all the men took some. "We're in luck to-night; we're fallen upon our legs," said the first man. "I say, Jim, put them dried chickens into the pitch-kettle along with some taters out of the bag they'll make a good mess; and then with this cask of grog to go to, we shan't do badly." "I say, old fellow," said he, turning to me, "you're a regular trump.
