You cannot deny me this, Judge," says Anna, with an arch smile, and pausing for a reply. "Wol, as to that," responds this high functionary, "if I'd power, 'twouldn't be long afore I'd dew it, though his mother'd turn the town upside down; but I hain't no power in the premises. I make it a rule, on and off the bench, never to refuse the request of a pretty woman. Chivalry, you know."
At that I grew strangely angry. "It's you who need it," I cried, "it's you that has to do the work. And she told me to take care of you." The big fellow grinned sheepishly, as was his wont. "'Tis only a bite," he pleaded, "'twouldn't only make me hungry, and" he looked hard at me "and it might be the savin' of you. Ye'll not eat it for Polly Ann's sake?" he asked coaxingly.
"They was lookin' for lan'marks and pullin' and sheoutin' and larfin' 'twas kinder moonlight, ye know and one on 'em says, 'Seems ter me 't takes a cussed long time t' git to the Neck to-night, says he. I sot there an' watched 'em; knew 'twouldn't do 'em no harm t' pull, knew 'twas doin' 'em good an' steadyin' of 'em. By an' by, I ups an' says, 'Ship ahoy! "'Why don't ye weigh anchor? says I.
"True or not, 'twouldn't do yer no 'arm to allow that, seemin' to me." Although she said it defiantly, her tone carried no conviction. Arthur Miles made no response, but read on this American gentleman paid our fares on by railway to join him, and gave us half a suffering for X.'s. "Is that right?" "Sure," said Tilda. "Gold money is all sufferin's or 'arf-sufferin's.
What has Mrs. Pepper been telling you?" "Oh, the little brown house," cried Dicky, his cheeks all a-flame. "The dearest little house mamma! I wish I could live in one! "Twouldn't be the same without the Peppers in it," said Jasper. "Not a bit of it!" "And they had such perfectly elegant times," cried Percy, enviously, drawing up to her side. "Oh, you can't think, mamma!"
"'Twouldn't do any good if the kerns were ripe," said Bobaday, turning his pepper-and-salt trousers up until the linings showed. "This farm ain't ours now, and we couldn't pull them." Aunt Corinne paused at the fennel bed: then she impulsively stretched forth her hand and gathered it full. "I set out these things," said aunt Corinne, "and I ain't countin' them sold till the wagon starts."
"Them fire-extinguishers?" said the Colonel, licking the cigar around and around before lighting it. "Well, I ain't had much time to think that over yet. A feller can't decide on a thing like that all at once. It ain't likely no one in Kilo would buy a fire-extinguisher like them, all nickel-plated, if they had their senses about 'em. 'Twouldn't be natural.
The King's got no-one to associate with, you see, as there's only one King in every land, and talk to his wife always, no man could stand the King as little as we others. That's why he gets bored, and moves from one castle to another, and plays at making a visitor of himself. So you'd better make inquiries. 'Twouldn't come amiss to get some one to speak for you either.
"Huh!" and again Ham snorted scornfully, then a sudden gleam came into his eyes, and he turned quickly to the alcalde. "Supposing" he grinned, "you have that broken arm investigated. 'Twouldn't s'prise me none tew find it a durned good arm yit." "Good!" and the alcalde smiled. "Skoonly can't object, because it will be a strong point in his favor, if we find the arm really broken."
"Oh, I was thinkin' what an everlastin' nuisance 'twas the stove, I mean. It needs more wood about every five minutes in the day, seems to needs it now, that's what made me think of it. I was just wonderin' if 'twouldn't be a good notion to set it up out in the yard." "Out in the yard? Put the stove out in the yard? For goodness' sake, what for?"
