She was a frisky filly then she don't look nothin' like that now." "Mamie" turned, as if her former master's voice had stirred some old memory. "She's got the evil eye," Mr. Ball continued. "You wanter be keerful." "She's all right, I guess," Joe replied. "Young feller," said Mr. Ball earnestly, "do you chew terbacker?" "Yep, but I ain't got no more. I'm on the last hunk." Mr.
No, indeed, it was somebody better than the captain of a whaler." "Don't be so superior, Tess. Your brother Ned hopes to be skipper of a whaler some day." "But Ned is very good-looking, and " "So was old Ayton before he lost his teeth, and one eye, and began 'ter chaw terbacker' and drink Bourbon by the gallon.... Beauty is only skin deep, my child."
I was just ready to burst when I found the gun, and the weight of it kept me from coming up rapidly." Daddy heard the lad through, and then, with a contemptuous sniff, he rose and hobbled up the path. "Don't forgit the terbacker," Mose Hocker shouted after him. The old man made no reply, and was soon out of sight.
Knowed him almost as well as if he was my own brother." "What sort of a man was he?" "Awful nice feller. I thought a heap of him. Thought more of him than any other man in the company. A nicer man you never knowed. Didn't drink, nor swear, nor play cards, nor chaw terbacker. Used to go to church every Sunday. Chaplain thought a heap of him.
The only trouble is that some of the trundle-bed graduates took their first chaw o' terbacker this mornin' on empty stomachs and it keeled 'em over. Come here and look at 'em yourself. You'll see it in a minute." "Certainly. I see it very plainly," said the Surgeon, after looking them over.
"Kase dat ar side-hill am twenty-five acres ob de best terbacker groun' in Ho'sford County." "Yer don't say so, Nimbus?" "Dat's jes what I do say, 'Liab, an' dat's de main reason what's made me so stubborn 'bout buyin' dis berry track of lan'. Pears ter me it's jes made fer us. It's all good terbacker lan', most on't de berry best. It's easy clar'd off an' easy wukked.
"If you ever sees that weapon agin, Mose Hocker, I'll give you ten pounds of the best plug terbacker that Bill Smith has in his store." "That's a bargain," exclaimed Mose. "You fellows can testify to what he said." Then turning to Randy he added with a laugh, "Don't fail me now, lad. Ten pounds of terbacker ain't picked up every day."
"Let's make her good and strong, Si," said Shorty, putting in some more tobacco; "for the fellers are sock-dolagers, and it will take a horse dose to kill 'em. They'll just enjoy a little taste o' terbacker. Make it strong enough to bear up an aig. Now, let's git our clothes off while it's coolin' down.
I'm kinder sorry for Daddy Perkiss. It was his chief delight to tell that story to every stranger what come along, an' now he won't dare to open his lips about Rudy's Hole. When I get the terbacker I'll give you fellows a plug apiece." Three or four of the men laughed at this, as though they had their doubts on the subject. "Oh, I'll keep Daddy to his word," resumed Mose.
"That's MY terbacker, if you want to know," observed Captain Perez. "I've got yours, Eri. Here 'tis." "Well, then, where IS mine?" said Captain Jerry somewhat snappishly. "Bet a dollar you've got it in your pocket," said Captain Eri. "Bet ten dollars I ain't! I ain't quite a fool yit, Eri Hedge. I guess I know well, I snum!
