''Totherest Governor, replied Mr Riderhood, mollified and mysterious, 'I know wot it is to be loud, and I know wot it is to be soft. Nat'rally I do. It would be a wonder if I did not, being by the Chris'en name of Roger, which took it arter my own father, which took it from his own father, though which of our fam'ly fust took it nat'ral I will not in any ways mislead you by undertakin' to say.
It's a good deal of an undertakin', come to think it all over. I dunno's I care about goin'." "Why, father! After you've thought about it so many years, an' Sereno's got the tents strapped up, an' all! You must be crazy!" "Well," said the farmer, gently, as he rose and went to carry the milk-pails into the pantry, calling coaxingly, as he did so, "Kitty! kitty! You had your milk?
"But then," Rube objected, "didn't Short Nose otherwise Simon Sprott say last night that the Crows hadn't a warrior capable of undertakin' such an expedition?" "Seems he's changed his mind," said Kiddie. Rube scratched the back of his ear, which was his habit when thinking deeply. "Somethin' new, eh, t' get a English nobleman ter lead a band of painted Redskins on the war-path?" he said.
Josiah told him we wus goin' over towards night with the team, and could carry 'em as well as not; and he hadn't better try to help, filin' saws wus such a sort of a raspin' undertakin'. But Elburtus said "he should probably go through more raspin' jobs before he died, or got the nomination; and Josiah could have 'em to bring home that night." So he sot out with 'em walkin' a foot.
"I dun'no'," he said to her, "as a man better feel too uppity 'bout becomin' a pa. It's an awful solemn undertakin', an' the more you think it over the solemner it gets. Seems to me it's somethin' like playin' the fiddle. There can't jest anybody rush in an' play a real good time on a fiddle takes a terrible lot o' preparin' 'n' hard work to tech them little strings to music.
Sweetie was cut out for the undertakin' business, by rights. He took things hard, he did. Every tick of the clock was a solemn moment for him, and me gettin' a stamp on crooked was a case that called for a heart to heart talk. He used to show me the books he was keepin', and the writin' was as reg'lar as if it'd been done on a job press.
"Undertakin' is a comical business; what is it?" "When an undertaker's sick ought he to go to the doctor what gives him the most work or the least?" "You got me; I'll think it over and let you know."
"It's what I calls a tremendious undertakin'," said Slagg. "It is indeed," assented Frank, heartily, for like all the rest of the crew, from the captain downwards, he was quite enthusiastic about the ship and her work. "Why, when you come to think of it, it's unbelievable. I sometimes half expect to waken up and find it is all a dream. Just fancy. We left England with a freight of 21,000 tons.
"Lat it gang to swall the low o' Phlegethon. But eh! it's a terrible undertakin'. It's mair nor Hercules himsel' could hae made onything o'. Bantam! I hae saicrifeesed mysel' to you. Haud to your pairt, or I canna haud to mine." It was indeed a terrible undertaking.
I'd ruther like to think of it a little while longer," said Mrs. Green. Mrs. Babcock got up. "Well," said she, "I'll send Adoniram round to-morrow mornin', an' you tell him what you've decided. I guess I shall go whether or no. I've got three men folks to leave, an' it's a good deal more of an undertakin' for me than some, but I ain't easy scart. I b'lieve in goin' once in a while."
