But the infamus cuss who I hired to lead me round towns in the day time to excite simpathy drank freely of spiritoous licker unbeknowns to me one day, & while under their inflooance he led me into the canal. I had to either tear the green bandige from my eyes or be drownded. I tho't I'd restore my eyesight.
Sandy's eyes lit, and in an unguarded moment he admitted that the thought had occurred to him. Birdie caught him up at once. "I tho't you was just astin' me these questions to see if I was right for gettin' married?" she protested innocently. "That's so course," he said hastily. Then he wriggled out of it. "But how'd I be able to say you was right if I hadn't tho't on things some myself?" "Ah!
"That'll do," to the boys; "here, put this cooler on, and walk her about." Then he turned to Allis again. "She was well up with the leaders half way in the stretch; I tho't she was goin' to win." "Was it too far for her, Dixon?" The Trainer did not answer at once; with him at all times questions were things to be pondered over.
Maybe I was wrong, but I've always tho't it was the bustin' into pieces of that fiery thing that lighted up the old woods that night, that broke the forest stillness, like a far off cannon. I never heard it so loud at any other time, and when I hear it now, I always say to myself, there goes another of Nater's fireballs into shivers.
Hiokatoo had a war-post, on which was recorded his military exploits, and other things that he tho't worth preserving. Hiokatoo used to say that when he was a young man, there lived in the same tribe with him an old Indian warrior, who was a great counsellor, by the name of Buck-in-je-hil-lish.
"If I tho't you was " But Scipio's mild blue eyes, and his simple reply had a pacific effect at once. "I'm looking for him because he's stole my wife. And I'm goin' on chasin' till I find him." There was such mild sincerity in his visitor's manner that it was impossible for the farmer to retain his suspicion. "What you goin' to do about that four hundred?" inquired Scipio later.
"Say, Tresler," he said, in a tired voice, utterly unlike his usual forceful manner, "I jest wanted to ast you to change 'watches' wi' me. I've kind o' lost my grip on sleep. Mebbe I'm weak'nin' some. I 'lows I'm li'ble to git sleepy later on, an' I tho't, mebbe, ef I wus to do the fust watch wal, y' see, I guess that plug in my chest ain't done me a heap o' good."
And ez to broad rivers, why, ther Mississippi cud take um all in, and wouldn't know she had a reinforcement; while pour 'um into ther Colorado gorge and they'd be spray afore they reached ther bottom. I looked for ther pituresk Highland heroes in ther tartans and with ther bag-pipes; but they tho't, I reckon, that I war James Fitz, and wur all ambushed.
"I tho't you was a fairy," protested Vada. "Fairies ken do most anything. You're jest an ugly ole man." Sunny stood up and drew the back of his hand across his perspiring forehead. He was worried. The fairy business was played out, and he felt that he must begin again. Children were by no means as easy to handle as he had thought. He racked his brains, and suddenly bethought him of another move.
While waitin' ter see ther fun, I seen over at er table a feller smilin' like, and I tho't by his face he war a Yankee, so I went over, and sez I: 'parler vouse Fronsa? Then he laffed and said: 'Yes, a little, but I understand English better. Then I shuk his hand 'nd axed him wot ther row war, an 'nd ef he tho't that thar man hed gone fur a wepin.
