"If he runs away, Kate, we won't be able to catch you again, for he's the best of the four, I think," said Harry, with an uneasy glance at the animal's flashing eye and expanded nostrils. "Ay, it's as well to keep the whip off him," said Jacques. "I know'd a young chap once in St. Louis who lost his sweetheart by usin' his whip too freely."
"That's just the way I feel about it," said the sheriff. "If I'd athought there was any call for him I wouldn't have let him go fishing, I'd have kept him about." "Oh, let the nigger fish he has powerful luck. What's he usin', Sheriff; worms or minnies?" "Worms," said the sheriff shortly. Presently the crowd drifted away in the direction of the tavern. Hannibal meantime had gone down to the river.
Now me, I don't mind it them things don't never bother me any manners and cleanness and them." "Cleanness?" "Och, yes; us we never seen any person where wasted so much time washin' theirself except Miss Margaret. I mind missus used to say a clean towel didn't last Miss Margaret a week, and no one else usin' it! You see, what the directors don't like is your ALWAYS havin' your hands so clean.
I got eyes an' ears as are uncommon good, even though I been usin' the same ones for nigh on to seventy year. I got my own ijeers as to who's sneak-thieving this school and bime-by somebody's goin' to get ketched." "What are your ideas?" asked Snubby. "Do you know who's doing it?" But old Jerry had no further enlightenment for his friend, even when Snubby pressed him further.
A mast step had to be repaired, sails mended, and no end of tinkering before it met with Skipper Zeb's approval. "I never says a thing's good enough unless 'tis right," declared Skipper Zeb. "I likes to have my boats, and fishin' gear and dog trappin's ship shape before I starts to use un. When I stops usin' they I leaves un as right as I can so they'll be ready to use when I needs un again."
But say, when they get to usin' me in strictly fam'ly affairs, I almost work up a grouch. Notice the almost. Course, with this fair-and-warmer disposition of mine I can't quite register. Not with Mr. Robert, anyway. He has such a matey, I-say-old-chap way with him.
We could see the boy fighting to get her under control, as she sped like a bullet down the track. "I guess Pete ain't usin' the right langwige," said the boy called Chick, with a wide grin. "Maybe she ain't listenin' good," added another boy. "Cut out the joshin' 'n' get her blankets ready," said Blister with a frown. "I think we'd better start," suggested Judge Dillon.
Wiley grimly, "but I'll try to sanctify the money by usin' it for a new wash-boiler." "The fact is," explained old Kennebec, somewhat confused, "that the boys made me spend every cent of it then an' there." Rose heard her grandmother's caustic reply, and then paid no further attention until her keen ear caught the sound of Stephen's name.
I ask you," sez he, "as between man and man." I nudged him there, for as I have said, I didn't believe then, and I don't believe now, that he or any other man ever knew or mistrusted what they meant by that term "as between man and man." I think it sounds kind o' flat, and I always oppose Josiah's usin' it; he loves it.
"I'll 'ave none o' my boys playin' the fool up there. And that reminds me, doc, young Smith'll git 'imself inter the devil of a mess one o' these days, if you don't look after 'im a bit better'n you do. I 'eard 'im spoutin' away as I come past usin' language about the Gover'ment fit to turn you sick." Mahony coughed. "He's but young yet," he said drily.
