For most of the unexpected guests chairs had been hastily provided by Hedwig, and the few men standing were doing so from choice. As she finished counting, Mrs. McDougal stepped back and stood by Mary Cary's side. "We are all here," she said. "Not a one was spilt out the wagon, but 'twas so crowded I was 'fraid some might be jolted off the ends. We come in Mr. Chinn's undertakin' wagon."
Timson, "I c'n tell ye; an', what's more, I c'n tell ye, young man, 't you hain't no idee of what you're undertakin', an' ef you don't wish you was back in New York 'fore you git through I ain't no guesser." "That is possible," said John readily, recalling his night and his breakfast that morning. "Yes, sir," said the other.
It conveyed a fine shade of meaning, and he thought more of Ovid in consequence. "But he's awful young and green." "Calc'late he is calc'late he is." "He needs somebody to look after him," she said, sharply. "Thinkin' of undertakin' the work?... Favor undertakin' it?" She looked at him a moment speculatively. "I might do worse. He'd be decent and kind and I've got brains.
"Because it does not please me to linger when there is other work to be done." "But there was no real need of undertakin' this task," I said, with irritation. "Yet it gave us an excuse to which he would listen for leavin', when, had we told the truth, I question if he had not tried to stop us." "Well, what is the truth?" I cried, sharply.
Philander opened the meetin' by readin' the moments of the last meetin', which wuz one of sympathy with the police of Washington for their noble efforts to break up the Woman's Parade, and after their almost Herculaneum labor to teach wimmen her proper place, and all the help they got from the hoodlum and slum elements, they had failed in a measure, and the wimmen, though stunned, insulted, spit on, struck, broken boneded, maimed, and tore to pieces, had succeeded in their disgustin' onwomanly undertakin'.
I knew for I had been told that one fourth of all the savin's of civilized man is invested in railroads, and when I thought of how dretful rich some men and countries are, and kings and emperors, etc., I felt prepared to do homage to a undertakin' that had swallowed up one fourth of all that accumulated wealth.
'Twas little thought I had, when I came away this mornin', that I'd meet wid so much friendship on my journey. I hope it's a sign that God's on my side in my undertakin'!" "I hope so, avourneen I hope so, an' it is, too," replied the farmer, taking the pipe out of his mouth, and mildly whiffing away the smoke, "an' God'll be always on your side, as long as your intentions are good.
"When I'm a man, I'll swim across the ocean and back again before breakfast, see if I don't." "That'll be quite an undertakin', lad," and the captain's eyes twinkled. "I hope I'll be standin' on the shore when ye git back. I guess ye'll have more cause fer thankfulness then than ye did after eatin' yer dinner to-day.
"Here you ain't got nobody but jest yourself, an' ain't got to leave a thing cooked up nor nothin'." "I would like to see Mis' Field an' Lois again, but it seems like a great undertakin'," sighed Amanda. "Then it's goin' to cost something." "It ain't goin' to cost but jest three dollars an' sixty cents," said Mrs. Babcock. "I guess you can afford that, Mandy.
It is a deep subject, a great undertakin', and it requires caution and deliberation." But he sez,"I haint a goin', Samantha! Nor I haint a goin' to let you go. It is dangerus." But I kinder nudged him, for she had the dog down on her lap, and was ready to resoom conversation. And about that time we got to the entrance of the spring, and one of her relatives got down and opened the carriage door.
