He got a little too much aboard long ago's Thanksgivin' Day, and bragged to me an' another fellow when he was balmy how he'd rile up Packer into sellin' them pines, and then he'd double his money on 'em up to Boston; he said there wa'n't no such a timber pine as that big one left in the State that he knows on. Why, 'tis 'most five foot through high's I can reach."
And then, when the truth out, all the police in the city set to the hunt, and word sent across the ocean to the ravin'-distracted young parents, an' now, all's right! Such joy, such thanksgivin', such cryin' an' laughin' bless us! I couldn't mention it." "But that poor little Glory! Hard on her to find the Angel's folks an' not her own!" said Mary, gently. "Not hard a bit!
"Yes; we ain't hed so many out for years, so Susanna Rideout says, and she'd ought to know, for she ain't missed a fun'ral sence she was nine years old, and she's eighty-one, come Thanksgivin', ef she holds out that long. She says fun'rals is 'bout the only recreation she has, 'n' she doos git a heap o' satisfaction out of 'em, 'n' no mistake. She'll go early, afore any o' the comp'ny assembles.
"I seeks ter be a true Christian," he said, "an' I ought ter be down on my marrow-bones right now givin' praise an' thanksgivin' ter ther Blessed Lord, who's done held back ther tormints of tribulation, but " he broke off there and his voice trailed off into something like an internal sob "but yit hit seems ter me like es ef my three boys air sleepin' res'less an' oneasy-like in th'ar graves ternight."
We might ha' had more sense; or she would, anyway. But she was over to Lovewell stockin' up for Thanksgivin', and I had to make out the best I could, with Frank and Jombateeste. Why, that Canuck didn't seem to have no more head on him than a hen. I was disgusted; but Cynthy wouldn't let me say anything to him, and I d' know as 't 'ould done any good, myself.
But I says to myself, 'It looks like God had afflicted us by not givin' us anybody to do for. An' then I started out to find some poor an' some sick an' each one o' you knows what I found. An' I ask' myself before I got home that day, 'Why not them an' me? There's lots o' kinds o' things to do on Thanksgivin' Day. Are you ever goin' to forgive me?" I think that we all answered at once.
Frae this tower they could see a' round for mony miles. They watched an' waitit, an' at last they spied a company o' men marchin' towards the castle. They were the men o' Glendown, for their colours could be seen. The Leddy Flora sent a prayer o' thanksgivin' to the skies, for weel she kenned that the men wouldna come withoot their lord.
"I've got to go over to Sudleigh, to meet the twelve o'clock," said he. "Harold's comin'. I only wanted to say I'll be over after you the night before Thanksgivin'. Mary wants you should be sure to be there to breakfast. You all right? Cephas said you seemed to have a proper good time with them." John turned skillfully on the little green and drove away.
Ye can no longer afford to be a pirate; ye will be compelled to be an honest mon. An' I tell ye that my soul lifteth itsel' in thanksgivin' an' my heart is happier than it has been since that fearsome day when ye went on board your vessel at Bridgetown." "Ben," said Bonnet, "it is hard and it is cruel, that in this, the time of my great trouble, you turn upon me.
The first be called a prayer, the t'other be a thanksgivin'. Thear ain't much difference, as I could ever see; tho' I've heerd the ship's chaplain go through 'em both, ay, scores o' times; but the one as we want now be the thanksgivin'; an' I know little Will'm here can go through it like a breeze. Did you ever hear Will'm pray, Snowy?" "Nebba!
