As for you " addressing Mr. Watlin "you be a gert beefy critter, but don't be too sure you could tackle me, single-handed. I be terr'ble full of power when I'm roused, and it takes a deal to calm me down again." And he trotted to the head of the stairs and began to descend. The Seraph and I kept close on either side of him, tightly holding his hands.
He cussed the man he shot, then he cussed the world, then he cussed hisself, and with a terr'ble oath he jumped off the bough, and swung back'ards and for'ards with his neck broke. 'An Englishman, I reflected aloud. He nodded. 'You're a Britisher, I reckon, ain't yer? 'Yes; why? 'Wal, you've a puty strong accent. 'Think so? 'Wal, I could jest tie a knot in it.
He jerked his head towards the boy, then towards the outhouse or scullery where his wife was. "She takes it terr'ble hard. She wanted me to run. But I said, 'No, I'll stan' it out. Mr. Brown at the Court'll give you the bit wages he owes me. But they'll have to go on the Union. Everybody'll turn their backs on them now."
She's a terr'ble hand for runnin' away, or, ruther, for not bein' where she should be when wanted. The wind has riz awful. It don't rain none yet, but's goin' to right off. I didn't think to fetch an umberell an' couldn't have used it if I had. Not again' this blow. Alfy, you call Katharine, and we'll start back prompt. No, thank ye, Madam, I won't stop to set down, not this time.
All right, doctor, sez father quite polite, 'I've got a terr'ble inquirin' mind, an' I jest wanted to know. Then the doctor 'e did seem a little ashamed of 'isself, an' 'e set right down an' sez 'e, 'Look a-'ere, Mr. Fallows, I'll hexplain it to yeh. It's like the telegraph wire. 'Ere's a station we'll call Bradford, an' 'ere's a station we'll call London. Hevery station 'as 'is own call.
"Ay," she answered, "that was her name before she was married. He's trainin' now, an' in a while, I suppose, he'll be off like the rest of them. Och, ochanee, sir, isn't this a terr'ble world, wi' nothin' but fightin' an' wringlin'? Will that be all you're wantin', sir?" "Yes, thanks," he said. Poor old Jimphy! They had all been contemptuous of him ... and now!... Cecily would be free now!
But when the days kep' passin' by, and all the other buds opened out, and showed how pretty they was, and she didn't open, why, then she got terr'ble discouraged; and I don't wonder a mite.
I do suffer terr'ble, miss, at times but ther's noa good in grumblin' is there?" Next door, in a straggling line of cottages, she found a gentle, chattering widow whose husband had been drowned in the brew-house at Beechcote twenty years before, drowned in the big vat! before any one had heard a cry or a sound. The widow was proud of so exceptional a tragedy; eager to tell the tale.
Well, jest as father was speakin' in comes the doctor 'isself, an' father 'e told 'im as 'ow Benny was feelin' the pain in 'is toes. 'In yer toes, Benny? sez the doctor surprised-like. 'Tain't yer toes, Ben. 'Well, I guess it's me as is doin' the feelin', sez Ben quite sharp, 'an' it's in me toes the feelin' is. Then father 'e spoke up. 'E's a terr'ble man fer hargument, is father.
"I've been terr'ble anxious 'bout it ever sence that tramp come to town, an' now sence you've seen an' talked with him, an' I know that he's runnin' 'round loose still, I must go take a look. That's the worst o' prope'ty, it's a dreadful care." "But it must be just delightful to own such a cute little cottage as yours, all vines and trees "
