W'en she seed de stump standin' dere, wid de sap runnin' out'n it, en de limbs layin' scattered roun', she nigh 'bout went out'n her mine. She run ter her cabin, en got her goopher mixtry, en den foller de track er de timber waggin ter de saw-mill. She knowed Sandy couldn' lib mo' d'n a minute er so ef she turn' him back, fer he wuz all chop' up so he'd a be'n bleedst ter die.
"There's th' waggin coming wi' th' old folks in't; it'll be such a sight as wonna come o'er again, to see 'em get down an' walk along all together. You remember some on 'em i' their prime, eh, Father?" "Aye, aye," said old Martin, walking slowly under the shade of the lodge porch, from which he could see the aged party descend.
He seems the softest, kindest and underneath iron! Most people are taken in. I'm not." There was silence in the car. Waggin was uneasily pondering. Nothing she knew it would be more acceptable to Lady Coryston than this match, though she was in no sense a scheming mother, and had never taken any special pains on Marcia's behalf. Her mind was too full of other things.
It's a thing you ought to know, an' I don't know what's been keepin' me from tellin' you all along. "Mebbe it was because I was scared you'd take it hard. But since these sneaks have got to waggin' their tongues it'll have to be told. If you sit down by the table there, I'll tell you why I done what I did."
"W'en dey got de tree all trim' up, dey chain it up ter a timber waggin, en start fer de saw-mill. But dey had a hard time gittin' de log dere: fus' dey got stuck in de mud w'en dey wuz gwine crosst de swamp, en it wuz two er th'ee hours befo' dey could git out. W'en dey start' on ag'in, de chain kep' a-comin' loose, en dey had ter keep a-stoppin' en a-stoppin' fer ter hitch de log up ag'in.
But Jock, says he, waggin' his heead, ''twas not like ye to kape all that good dhrink an' thim fine cigars to yerself, while Orth'ris here an' me have been prowlin' round wid throats as dry as lime-kilns, and nothin' to smoke but Canteen plug.
Marcia laughed triumphantly. "Why shouldn't Corry respect his mother's convictions? She wants to prove that women oughtn't to shrink from fighting for what they believe, even " "Even with their sons?" said Waggin, tremulously. "Lady Coryston is so splendid so splendid!" "Even with their sons!" cried Marcia, vehemently. "You take it for granted, Waggin, that they trample on their daughters!"
It would have been better for us of the present day if the injins had given him a warm meal and sent him home ore the ragin' billers. For the savages owned the country, and COLUMBUS was a fillibuster. CORTEZ, PIZARRO, and WALKER were one-horse fillibusters COLUMBUS was a four-horse team fillibuster, and a large yaller dog under the waggin.
What do you think of Colonel Washington?" "I think he's a hull four hoss team an' the dog under the waggin," said Solomon. John Adams often quoted these words of the scout and they became a saying in New England. "To ask you a question is like priming a pump," said Franklin, as he turned to Solomon with a laugh.
Hi! come along here." But the dog made no attempt to move, and Sunny began to lose patience. "Come along, pups," he cried, with increasing force. "Come on, you miser'ble rat. Don't stan' ther' waggin' your fool tail like a whisk-broom. Say, you yaller cur, I'll " He started to fetch the creature, but in a twinkling it had fled, to the accompaniment of a fresh outburst from Jamie.
