The yells and cries, and distracted movements of the crowd of Luker Gatherers there, would have skairt him to death.
They were not smiling at the storekeeper's return they looked very grave. Then somebody lifted him tenderly from the stage and said: "Don't you worry a mite, Cynthy. Jest tuckered, that's all." William Wetherell was "just tuckered." The great Dr. Coles, authority on pulmonary troubles, who came all the way from Boston, could give no better verdict than that. It was Jethro Bass who had induced Dr.
You don't look much tuckered, seems to me." Rachel laughed lightly. "Well, I'm beginning to find some fun in it, mother! I want to stay a little longer.
