"'Old on, my hearties, if that's yerselves that I see!" continued the voice. "Arrah, 'old on there. I'm so tired wadin', I want a short spell to rest myself. Wait now, and I'll come to yez as soon as I can take a reef out of my tops'ls." The joy caused by this greeting, great as it was, was scarce equal to the surprise it inspired. They who heard it were for some seconds incredulous.
"What what did you say about my er swimming, was it?" "Oh, nothin', nothin'. I was just jokin', same as you was about the wadin'. Ha, ha!" "Ha, ha!" Both laughed with great heartiness. The door shut between them, and each stared doubtfully at his side of it for several moments before turning away. That forenoon was a dismal one for John Brown.
But fuss, do, fo' yer axes fur furgibness, yer mus' turn yer min's ter repintunce. Now I ax you chil'en dis, Is you sorry dat you runned off? an' is you 'pentin' uv wadin' in de ditch?" Uncle Rob spoke very slowly and solemnly, and in a deep tone; and Diddie, feeling very much as if she had been guilty of murder, replied, "Yes, I am truly sorry, Uncle Bob."
Scrope caught red-handed one day on his rented salmon water near Melrose. The man was a guileless creature from Selkirk, too innocent, it appeared, to be able to account for the salmon flies in the inside of his dilapidated hat, or for the 10 lb. salmon reposing in his pocket. "Dodd! I jalouse it's mebbes luppen in whan I was wadin' the watter," he said with artless smile.
I've seen some of these sheepmen wadin' around up to their chins for two weeks, tryin' to float twenty-five hundred head across the river and there wasn't turkey buzzards enough in the country when they got through. "Last year they had the sand bars up around Hidden Water lined with carcasses two deep where they'd jest naturally crowded 'em into the river and let 'em sink or swim.
The frightened craters went about the best way they could, sometimes wadin' an' sometimes sweemin', an' Shon, he wass leadin' them wi' a line roond their horns, an' he wass wadin' an' sweemin' also. I came across them wi' my post an' took them in. That was just pefore we saw the hoose on fire floatin' down the river." "The house on fire!" exclaimed Cora; "I did not hear of that."
Well, every now and then, when a feller goes to look for his horse, he sees his tail a-stickin' right out an eend, from one of these honey pots, and wavin' like a head of broom corn; and sometimes you see two or three trapped there, e'enamost smothered, everlastin' tired, half swimmin' half wadin', like rats in a molasses cask.

I've been wadin' up to the waist all the time!" It need scarcely be said that their minds were much relieved when they were made acquainted with the true state of matters, and that by means of shoes that could be made by Hendrick, they would be enabled to traverse with comparative ease the snow-clad wilderness which else were impassable. But this work involved several days' delay in camp.
Well, 'twan't long fo' de gyarden wuz plum crowded wid folks come ter wush on de stone, an' hit wuz er growin' bigger an' bigger all de time, an' mashin' de blossoms an' grass; an' dar wan't no mo' merry chil'en playin' 'mong de trees an' wadin' in de streams; no soun's ob laughin' and joy in de gyarden; eb'ybody wuz er quarlin, 'bout'n who should hab de nex' place, or wuz tryin' ter study up what dey'd wush fur; an' Cheery wuz jes ez mizer'bul as er free nigger, 'bout her gyarden.
