He's like to get kill any day, he am. He don't know nuffin, he don't. "Gen. Anderson and Peter laughed when she spoke of Ham getting killed. Peter seemed to lose for the time-being his sad countenance, when he remembered about Ham getting under the brush at Stone Run.
The countryman purchases oranges at a fair for his little ones; and when he brings them home in the evening, and watches his chubby urchins, sitting up among the bed-clothes, peel and devour the fruit, he is for the time-being richer than if he drew the rental of the orange-groves of Seville.
There was no one to play the organ if the schoolmistress failed to turn up as she often did. David however scrupulously turned the normal congregation of five Bridget, the maid of the time-being, the gardener-groom, the sexton, and a baker-church-warden into six by his unvarying attendance.
