Husband 'd went ter the other side o' the hill, whar the new terbacker ground wuz, ter cut out some trees that shaded the plants. The skies wuz ez bright an' fa'r ez the good Lord ever made 'em.
Co'se dey didn' think nuffin un it, but nex' mawnin', w'en dey went ter ketch 'im, dey 'skivered dat he had eat up two whole rows er terbacker plants. Atter dat dey had ter put a halter on 'im, en tie 'im ter a stake, er e'se dey would n' 'a' been naer leaf er terbacker lef' in de patch.
P'raps it's all His wisdom that some will keep to their own mind. It's well ez some hezn't narves, and kin luxuriate in terbacker in the night watches. But He says, 'I'll come like a thief in the night! like a thief in the night, Jeff." Totally unable to reconcile this illustration with the delayed "Pioneer" coach and Yuba Bill, its driver, Jeff lay silent.
He tuk good keer uv 'im dyoin' er de winter, give 'im w'iskey ter rub his rheumatiz, en terbacker ter smoke, en all he want ter eat, 'caze a nigger w'at he could make a thousan' dollars a year off'n didn' grow on eve'y huckleberry bush.
"The lad brought it clean up from the bottom of Rudy's hole. I'll take that ten pounds of terbacker, Daddy, as soon as you please." "Shoo, now! thar's some trick about the thing," mumbled the old man petulantly. "You can't make me believe that Rudy's Hole ain't two or three hundred feet deep." "But here's the gun to prove it," said Mose, "an' we all saw the lad bring it up.
The doctor, sut up all night with him, an' I guess now he's layin' on him out. I wouldn't ha' done it! I'd ha' wropped him up in his old coat, an' glad to git rid on him! Well, he won't cheat ye out o' no more five-cent pieces, to squander in terbacker. You might save 'em up for me, now he's done for!"
"Well, I guess I'll be gittin' along towards meetin'," she said, in a tone of unconcern, calculated to allay suspicion. "I'm in hopes to git a mite o' terbacker out o' Hiram Cole, if he's settin' lookin' at his pigs, where he is 'most every Sunday. I'll have a smoke afore I go in." "Don't you be late!" "I'm a-goin' in late, or not at all!" answered Nance, contradictorily.
Nor was it till the close of day that he had the courage to come into her presence, and then for a moment he gazed and vanished. Old Jasper found him mumbling beneath the moon. "Lost anythin', Jim?" "Nothing that I ever thought I had, Uncle Jasper." "Look like a man that is huntin' fur his terbacker." "I've quit tobacco long ago, Uncle Jasper." "Huh, give that up, too? Then you have been hit hard.
Wilks," he said, putting his head in the door and smiling at the agitated steward. "Come in," said Mr. Wilks, shortly. Mr. Smith obliged. "Nice night outside," he said, taking a chair; "clear over'ead. Wot a morning it 'ud be for a sail if we was only young enough. Is that terbacker in that canister there?" The other pushed it towards him.
"Look here, Johnny," said he, "wouldn't you like a big chaw o' navy terbacker bright plug. Genuine Yankee plug? Swingin' that ere gun that way is awful tiresome." "Eh What's that?" said the rebel, startled by the new proposition and its coolness. "I say, don't you want a big chaw o' terbacker? You must need it. I always do after I've bin workin' hard. Drop your gun, and have one with me.
