Set down, there; you've news to tell me!" "I think, Friend Barton," Dr. Deane answered, "thee'd better be quiet a spell. Talking isn't exactly good for thee." "Eh?" the old man growled; "maybe you'd like to think so, Doctor. If I am house-bound, I pick up some things as they go around. And I know why you let our little matter drop so suddent."
A kind old Quaker found and took me home; but though I was too weak to talk, I had my senses by that time, and knew what went on about me. Everything was in confusion, even in that well-ordered place: no surgeon could be got at first, and a flock of frightened women thee'd and thou'd one another over me, but hadn't wit enough to see that I was bleeding to death.
"Thee's winked very hard at my apostasy, mother. I'm inclined to think thee was converted too, on the third or fourth day, if thee'd own up." "No," said Mrs. Yocomb, with a smile at her favorite, "Emily won my heart on the first day, and I accepted piano and all." "Why, Mrs. Yocomb!"
"said she, softly,between a smile and a tear, so glad to hear him speak so kindly, so like old times. "If thee'd like to go, John, I'll stand treat." "Thou stand treat!" said he, with half a sneer: "Has't got a fortun', wench?" "Nay," said she, "but I've gotten the pint o' ale." "Gotten what?" said he. "The pint o' ale!" said she.
He's alive, and he were here o' Tuesday no, Monday, was it? I cannot tell but he were here! 'A knowed as he weren't dead. Every one is a-speaking on it. But a didn't know as thee'd ha' seen him. A took comfort i' thinkin' as thou'd ha' been wi' thy mother a' t' time as he were i' t' place. 'Then he's gone? said Sylvia. 'Gone; ay, days past. As far as a know, he but stopped a' neet.
"Then thee's very blind, Richard. I didn't think thee'd say that." "You cut deep now; suppose I must go?" "Why must thee go, just as thee is beginning to gain? Thee is as pale as a ghost this minute, and thee doesn't weigh much more than half as much as I do. Still, we don't want to put an unwelcome constraint on thee."
"Now, Susan, thee'd better lay aside thy book, for most likely the poor little fellow will want to talk." And Susy did lay aside her book. She had learned so many lessons this winter in self-denial! These "silent talks" were quite droll. Little Dotty almost understood something about them; that is, when they used the signs: the alphabet was more than she could manage.
Fonsegue was so intimate with Barroux that he thee'd and thou'd him, and for ten years had been supporting him in his newspaper, having precisely the same views, the same political religion. But with a smash-up threatening, he doubtless realised, thanks to his wonderfully keen scent, that he must change his friendships if he did not wish to remain under the ruins himself.
"Thee'd better keep out of sight, with thy speechifying," said Phineas; "they're mean scamps." "Now, Jim," said George, "look that your pistols are all right, and watch that pass with me. The first man that shows himself I fire at; you take the second, and so on. It won't do, you know, to waste two shots on one." "But what if you don't hit?" "I shall hit," said George, coolly.
But he disturbed the atmosphere for the boy. "Are ter asleep, my darlin'?" Morel asked softly. "No; is my mother comin'?" "She's just finishin' foldin' the clothes. Do you want anything?" Morel rarely "thee'd" his son. "I don't want nothing. But how long will she be?" "Not long, my duckie." The father waited undecidedly on the hearthrug for a moment or two. He felt his son did not want him.
