I have bin soakin' away, right and left, since I came to this country, in spite o' warnin's from you and other men like you, and now I feel as if all my boasted strength was goin' out at my heels." Stevenson was silent. "Why don't you say `I told you so?" asked Simkin, sharply. "Because I never say that!
I see the voyolence of that look, that rested first on the Deacon, and then on that, boot. And agin I says, "Josiah Allen." And agin the thought of his own feerful acts, and my warnin's came over him, and again mortification seemed to envelop him like a mantilly, the tabs goin' down and coverin' his lims and agin he didn't throw that boot.
"We'll build the addition you wanted and we'll make the city folks sit up and take notice. And," with a gleeful chuckle, "we won't have any ghost snorin' warnin's, either." Thankful laughed. "No, we won't," she said. "And yet I'm awfully grateful to that that that pig ghost. If it hadn't been for him that mortgage would still be hangin' over us.
"Jud," said the old man with a strained tone, "It ain't my business to give warnin's to an officer of the law not mine. He'll find out little things like that for himself." For one moment Dozier remained looking from one face to the other. Then he shrugged his shoulders and went slowly up the ladder. It squeaked under his weight, he felt the rungs bow and tremble.
Mayhap sitch critters was meant to act as warnin's to other men. He told us that he'd runned away from home when he was a boy 'cause he didn't like school. Then he engaged as a cabin-boy aboard a ship tradin' to some place in South America, an' runned away from his ship the first port they touched at 'cause he didn't like the sea.
Over and over the drama has been played out, moderation and contentment, luxury and discontent, revolution and ruin, but I did hope that our republic, havin' more warnin's and nigher the millenium, wouldn't go the same old jog trot up, up up, and down, down, down. I wuz some in hopes they would hear to me, but I d'no." I could see that Mr. Astofeller wuz greatly impressed by what I said.
But there's no use in advisin' or warnin'; it's like the pigs and the hot swill one will stick in his nose and run away squalin'; the next one will do the same, and the next and the next. They never take warnin's; it's the way of the world!" But nothing dimmed the glory of Pearl's rainbow dream or stilled the happy songs her heart sang day and night.
But anyway, there wuz lurid lightin' flashes that looked like flights of fiery arrows aimed at the heads of the Spanish seamen, and shriekin's of the tempest amidst the sails overhead that sounded like cries of anger, and distress, and warnin'. Did Columbus heed them fearful warnin's and turn back? No; dauntless and brave, a-facin' dangers onseen, as well as seen, he sez "I sail onward!"
"If we'd listened to all the mysterious warnin's you've handed us since we came up here, Bells, we'd been like a dog chasin' his tail around when it happened to be bit off down to the rump and no place to get hold of. Better look out! Humph!"
Why 'cause I'm a coward, after all, I guess, and I'm scared he'll do what he says he will and come back. Perhaps you think I'm a fool to put up with it; that's what most folks would say if they knew it. They'd tell me I ought to divorce him. Well, I can't, I CAN'T. I walked into the mess blindfold; I married him in spite of warnin's and everything.
