Gregory asked after a pause. "It ain't always convenient toting a young girl round with you," said Mrs. Talcott. "Sometimes Mercedes feels like it and sometimes she don't. Karen and I stay at home, now that I'm too old to go about with her, and we see her when she's home. That's the idea. But she ain't much at home. She's mostly travelling and staying around with folks."
When I got down to help her into the cart I saw she was toting a child in her arms." "What did the woman look like, Bob?" said Crenshaw. "She wa'n't exactly old and she wa'n't young by no manner of means; I remember saying to myself, that child ain't yo's, whose ever it is.
"A woman ought to be boss in her own house," said Crenshaw. "Feelin' the truth of that, I've never married, Mr. John; I do as I please and don't have to listen to a passel of opinion. But I was going to say, what's to hinder me from toting that boy to my home? There are no calico petticoats hanging up in my closets." "And no closets to hang 'em in, I'll be bound!" rejoined Crenshaw.
Miss Lowe set her down at the trail leading up to the old crumbling house, with these words: "If ever my uncle did a kind deed, for you, Miss Taber, do this for him now." Toting up the hill, Sally's thoughts wandered back to Theodore Starr and settled on a certain dark, cold night when he sat in her cabin piling the wood on her fire, while she lay shivering with chill upon her wretched bed.
"Me to look for the star brand of mussels!" declared Bandy-legs; "they're the only kind worth toting to camp over that long trail." It was Max and Bandy-legs who started out shortly after, bent upon new conquests. "Look out for him, Max," said Owen; "don't let him throw away all he finds, just because they don't happen to bear the star brand." "Oh!
You could get along without me and never miss me for a minute except when it comes to toting a pack, and even then I guess you could do without me, especially if that young lady threw a dish or so overboard after every meal," he added jocularly. "Is there any wood?" "Yes. There you are again. I never think of anything. I get lost wondering what's going to happen next. You sit down.
BILL WITHERS, sworn, said: "I was coming along about sundown, Saturday, September 2d, by the prisoner's field, and my brother Jack was with me and we seen a man toting off something heavy on his back and allowed it was a nigger stealing corn; we couldn't see distinct; next we made out that it was one man carrying another; and the way it hung, so kind of limp, we judged it was somebody that was drunk; and by the man's walk we said it was Parson Silas, and we judged he had found Sam Cooper drunk in the road, which he was always trying to reform him, and was toting him out of danger."
I have been able to see G.F. but once, and then our interview was brief. He seemed very reserved about himself. He says he came from New York; but his speech is Southern. He talks about 'toting' things, and says he 'disremembers, I shall try to gain his confidence, and perhaps I shall be able to draw him out." A fortnight later he wrote:
Why, it seems only a year ago that I was toting her about on my shoulders! And by George, that was a year before her mother died! She is sixteen now." Nathaniel laughed softly. "To-morrow she will be making love, Neil, and before you know it she will be married and have a family of her own. I tell you she is a woman and if you are not a fool you will take her away with Marion."
The boy was toting a double-springed steel trap, big enough it seemed to take all four feet of any bear that ever walked and it was beautifully dull with oil! Caleb stood and stared, mouth agape. A moment or two earlier he had had to fight off an almost uncontrollable desire to roar with laughter, but that mood had passed somehow as the boy came nearer.
