Boat-buildin' is slack just now, but I might trust to tradin' her off on someone when he'd done with her which in the natur' of things can't be long. I've a model o' the old Pass By hangin' up somewhere in the passage behind the shop. We might run her up in two months, fit to launch, an' finish her at leisure, call her the Pass By, and I daresay the Lord'll send along a purchaser in good time."
"Can't you find nothing more interestin' to do when ye come to town than go to see a sick gal?" was the miller's surprising inquiry. "I I promised to call on her if I could whenever I was in town. She really likes to have me come," explained Ruth. "Well, you can go," grunted Uncle Jabez. "I'll stop there for ye when I'm done tradin'." He had already climbed down from the high seat.
He afterwards sold this twenty-acre piece to Sam fer sixty dollars, an' thought he done mighty well. When I first come to the Wea, Lafayette didn't have more'n half a dozen cabins. I went through her once on my way up to the tradin' house at Longlois, couple a mile above. You wouldn't believe a town could grow as fast as Lafayette has in the last couple o' years.
Tell your folks I expect and want 'em to keep right on tradin' with me." When Alice appealed to Mr. Mears she also met only the kindest of words. "Ye can drive back an' forth, an' not be away from home over night," said he, "till snow comes, an' then I'll git ye a boardin'-place clus by the schoolhouse and fetch and carry ye Mondays and Fridays."
They were walking down the country road together, and she was listening quietly and advising him. She interrogated him, gently. But something of his old masterfulness came back to him. "No, I want to know about you first. I can't get the rights of it, you being here on South Water, tradin' and all." So she told him, briefly. She was in the commission business. Successful.
"But, stop a bit, Redhand," cried Bounce, detaining the old man, "ye didn't use for to be so hot an' hasty. Where are we to go to? That's wot I want to know." "True," observed Redhand in his old gentle tones, "we've more horses than we need, and some furs to dispose of. There's a tradin' fort in the mountains, but it's a good bit from this."
He was there a wonderful long time; an' when he come aboard, he orders the anchor up an' all sail made. "'Where you goin'? says I. "'Tradin', says he. "'Is you? says I. "'Ay, says he. 'Jagger says 'tis a wonderful season for fish." Docks paused.
"Well, then," continued the sailor, "I came out from a great and rich country, called England, in one o' these big tradin' canoes, which was wrecked close to the settlements, and there I stayed with my mates, waiting for another big kayak to come an' take us off; but no kayak came for two winters so that's the way I came to understand an' speak the Eskimo "
Himes gave a little gasp and sat down. "Now, I hadn't no thoughts of tradin' for a wife," continued Thomas, "especially in woollen goods and books; but when I considered and turned the matter over in my mind, and thought what a woman you was, and what a life there was afore me if I got you, I agreed to do it.
Anyhow, dishyers no time fer tradin'; de blame niggers all off dere coco-nuts. Anybody fink you'se payin' off 'stead o' shippin', an' deyse all afraid dey won't get 'nough."
