Knocked all to pieces, aint ye! Not used to the road? Glory be good to me! I should think ye wornt! Short in yer wind an' weak on yer pins! I'd as soon see my old grandad trampin' it as you. Look 'ere! Will ye take a dram out o' this 'ere bottle?" He held up the bottle he spoke of, it was black, and untemptingly dirty.
As a family, you ain't very lively anyhow, 'n' I ain't much surprised 't the cow 's gettin' out o' patience. She's been trampin' aroun' 'n' mooin' a lot this last hour. The minister was walkin' by with six o' the childern, 'n' the childern come 'n' asked 'f they could see the cow 't kicked you.
An' no Dook o' Duncy 'ull pull ye out! This 'ere old friend o' mine don't unnerstand ye wi' yer fustian an' yer galligaskins. 'E's kinder eddicated got a bit o' larnin' as I 'aves myself." "Eddicated!" echoed Bill. "Eddication's a fine thing, aint it, if it brings an old gaffer like 'im to trampin' the road! Seems to me the more people's eddicated the less they's able to make a livin'."
Dannie tried to laugh. "I'd like fall as much as any season of the year," he said, "if it wasna for winter coming next." "I thought you liked winter, and the trampin' in the white woods, and trappin', and the long evenings with a book." "I do," said Dannie. "I must have been thinkin' of Mary. She hated last winter so.
"They'm marched off, ain't 'em?" said old Zebedee as, Adam having given the signal, he drew the panel of the door aside. "I've a bin listenin' to their trampin' past. Why, what's the time, lad, eh? must be close on break o' day, ain't it?" "Just about," said Adam, pushing back the shutter so that he might look out and see that no one stood near enough to overlook his descent.
Deacon Whittle would furnish up her best parlor something elegant," surmised Mrs. Dodge. "She's always said she was goin' to have gilt paper and marble tops and electric blue plush upholstered furniture. I guess that'll be the last fair we'll ever have in that house. She wouldn't have everybody trampin' over her flowered Body-Brussels.
Jest let's take a turn 'round the village." "You kin go ef you want ter. I'll wait for ye. 'Pears like I didn't feel much like doin' any trampin' 'round." "Stay thar, then. But mind you don't try on any runnin' away with my boat." "If I want a boat, old man, there's plenty here that's better worth stealin' than yourn." "That's so. I didn't know you'd been makin' any kalkilation on it.
"Say, are you still worryin' about what I said about trampin' on his face?" David had cause afterward to recall the ugly sensation that this extraordinary burst of rage created in his mind. Before leaving, Dick announced that he was eager to start West to connect with Barnum's circus, complaining of the unprofitable idleness that had been forced upon him.
'Then he goes up to the machine and yells out to Ole Iverson, "Hello, partner, let me up there. I can cut bands, and I'm tired of trampin'. I won't go no farther." 'I tried to make signs to Ole, 'cause I thought that man was crazy and might get the machine stopped up.
"Can't we make out to walk, pappy?" he asked, dropping unconsciously into the child-time phrase. "Oh, yes; I reckon we could. You're not too young, and I'm not so terr'ble old. But get in, Buddy, get in; there'll be trampin' enough for ye, all summer long." The limestone pike was the same, and the creek was still rushing noisily over the stones in its bed, as Tom remarked gratefully.
