Angry in every fiber of his body, he would therefore wheel upon his tormentor and flash out: "When you see me tinkerin' your tumbledown wall, Miss Ellen Webster, I'll be some older than I am now. I've work enough of my own to do without takin' in repairs for my neighbors." At that he would hear a malicious chuckle. For some such response Ellen always waited.
"Then it lengthened into a week; an' the Lord only knows now how much longer he's plannin' to hang round the place. Besides, if he's only makin' a short visit, it's less likely than ever he'd want to put in the whole of it tinkerin' with you.
It's my belief it puts Miss Di-an in mind o' someone, fer she jest sets in the porch, when he's a' tinkerin' round in the evenings or dig-gin' in the gardin he's never satisfied unless everything's jest kep spick an' span an' there's the sweetest smile on her face, an' the dreamy look in her eyes thet folks' eyes don't never hev 'cept when they're episodin' with their past.
I thought he was goin' to take me along, but when he said that, I made up my mind to beat it back to the plant to keep from goin' bugs watchin' them other guys callin' theirselves mechanics, tinkerin' around them other busses when they didn't know their job. It's a darn wonder more of these fool dudes out here ain't been killed.
"She's Zenas Henry's daughter, the one he brought ashore from the Michleen an' adopted." "Oh!" A light began to break in on Bob's understanding. "It's Zenas Henry's motor-boat we're tinkerin' with now," went on Willie. "I see!"
The impossibility became more obvious presently as the constables striding quickly down to where the group of women stood in the rain and wind with fluttering shawls and flapping cap-borders, said briskly, "Good-day to you all. Did any of yous happen to see e'er a one of them tinkerin' people goin' by here this mornin'?" It was a moment of strong temptation to everybody, but especially to Mrs.
"Yes, sir; for myself, and for myself only." "But I guess Aunt Tobithy and Miss Annie will go, won't they?" "I have said my say, and it was for myself only, but if you want to know anything consarnin' the other members of this house, just step right out there where they are tinkerin' with the dishes, and ask them." Sawyer went into the dining-room.

"Whenever I want any money for the State Treasury, I know where to get it," and he pointed toward New York City. And then all the Republican tinkerin' with New York City's charter. Nobody can keep up with it.
"Go ahead an' take a nap if yuh want to," he urged. "I got some tinkerin' to do on the Ford, an' I was aimin' to lay over here an' do it. I'm kinda lookin' around, myself, for a likely prospect; I got all the time there is. I guess I'll back the car down the draw a piece where she'll set level, an' clean up 'er dingbats whilst you take a sleep."
We set aside some pie plates and cups and did a lot of tinkerin' around. Grandma didn't want us to go. She was afraid we'd get drowned or shoot ourselves, or that a storm would come up and we'd get struck by lightning.
