"Take my word for it," said Bridget to Pat, "the next thing'll be Miss Nelly havin' her breakfast in bed like Lord Dunshanbo's daughters. Five of them there was, Pat, all old maids. And they used to sit round in their beds, every one with a satin quilt, and their hair in curl-papers, and a newspaper spread out to save the quilt."
'Not much, s'e, 'but I guess it's got such a head-start the whol' thing'll go like a shell. An' when we got to the top o' the bank on the other side o' the track, we see it was that way the poorhouse'd got such a head-start burnin' that nothin' could save it, though Timothy Toplady, that was town marshal an' chairman o' the county board, an' Silas Sykes an' Eppleby Holcomb, that was managers o' the poorhouse, an' some more, went puffin' past us, yellin', 'Put it out run fer water why don't you do suthin'? an' like that, most beside theirselves.
Lay low, play dead; the little woman is scared. I tell you, the thing'll come to an end before long; she'll leave the place, and if she does the Shopman will follow her, for she's his passion. That's your plan. Only, to make 'em go faster, my advice is to get rid of their counsellor, their support, our spy, our ape " "Who's that?"
"Ignore the whole bloody thing; we get something like that before every general election. On this planet, you can always kick the Gilgameshers and the Armed Forces with impunity, neither have votes and neither can kick back. The whole thing'll be forgotten the day after the election. It always is." "That's if Makann doesn't win the election," Trask qualified.
We decided to make a quick dash as soon as the light was strong enough for accurate work. "I don't care if the old thing'll go or not," Terry declared. "We can run her to the edge, get aboard, and just plane down plop! beside our boat there. Look there see the boat!" Sure enough there was our motor, lying like a gray cocoon on the flat pale sheet of water.
Judge Hanby grew excited and, inspired by the absorbed attention of his audience, talked of the sweep of events. In England, he explained, the cities were constantly growing larger, and already almost every one either worked in a factory or owned stock in a factory. "In New England it is getting the same way fast," he explained. "The same thing'll happen here. Farming'll be done with tools.
"Now, Jinny," he cried, in excited appeal, "don't go doin' any such fool trick as that. Your Uncle Dan'l will be here this afternoon. He knows the President. And then the thing'll be fixed all right, and no mistake." Her reply was in the same tone almost a monotone which she had used for three days. It made the Captain very uneasy, for he knew when she spoke in that way that her will was in it.
"'Ave another pint." Sam had one, but it only made 'im more solemn, and he got in quite a temper as 'e spoke about casuals loafing about on Tower Hill with their 'ands in their pockets, and taking gold lockets out of the mouths of hard-working sailormen. "It mightn't be found yet," ses the man, speaking thoughtful-like. "It's wonderful how long a thing'll lay sometimes.
A young fellow calls the other day, when I happened to be in, and he wants me to buy a new-fashioned sort of clock of him. `Well, if I do, says I, `what'll you allow me for my old clock, then, as part payment? So he goes over and looks at it, and turns up his nose at it, and says, `'Tain't worth the trouble of taking away: you shall have one of the right sort cheap; that clumsy, old- fashioned thing'll never do you no good. `Well, says I, `that's just as people find.
But if you're worrying about that divorce, you needn't. You'll get it all right. The the thing'll be sent you in a week or a fortnight." "Ranny," she said, "are you really doin' it?" "Of course I'm doing it." "I didn't know." "Well you might have known." He was deaf to the terror in her voice. "I'd have done it years ago if I'd had the money. It isn't my fault we've had to wait for it.
