It's quite pathetic to watch the enthusiasm with which they hail any man who distinguishes himself by this kind of apologetic skill, this pious jugglery. Never mind how washy the book from a scientific point of view. Only let it obtain vogue, and it will be glorified as the new evangel.
McCall had been in a state of suppressed revolution. He had smouldered, but had not dared to blaze. But this startling upheaval of his fellow-sufferer, Washy, had acted upon him like a high explosive. There was a strange gleam in his eye, a gleam of determination. He was breathing hard. "Washy!" His voice had lost its deprecating mildness. It rang strong and clear. "Yes, pop?"
Louise was thankful for this opportunity for laughter, for that "curiousest-osity" was too much for her sense of the ludicrous. Like almost every other man of any age that Louise had met about Cardhaven save Cap'n Abe himself Washy had spent a good share of his life in deep-bottomed craft. But he had never risen higher than petty officer.
When the girl had hastily read it through she ran down to show it to Cap'n Amazon. She found him reading an epistle of his own, while Cap'n Joab, Milt Baker, Washy Gallup, and several other neighbors hovered near. "Yep. I got one myself," announced Cap'n Amazon. "Oh, captain!" "Yep. From Abe. Good reason why your father didn't speak of Abe in his letter to your a'nt. Didn't in yours, did he?"
It was absurd that, with so wild and beautiful a world around him, he should be called upon to live in a washy fen because his father and grandfather had been unfortunate enough to do so. And then, at that time, all sympathy with bricks and mortar, any affection for special trees or well-known home-haunts, was absurd in his eyes.
Merthyr, you dear Englishman, you shall know everything. Do we not think a tisane a weak washy drink, when we are strong? But we learn, when we lie with our chins up, and our ten toes like stopped organ-pipes as Sandra says we learn then that it means fresh health and activity, and is better than rivers of your fiery wines. You love her, do you not?" The question came with great simplicity.
When they get back they are so chock full of knowledge of the Yankees, that it runs over of itself, like a Hogshead of molasses rolled about in hot weather a white froth and scum bubbles out of the bung; wishy washy trash they call tours, sketches, travels, letters, and what not; vapid stuff, jist sweet enough to catch flies, cockroaches, and half fledged galls. It puts me in mind of my French.
Nor was the chest intended to be returned to the store until Cap'n Abe himself came back from his mysterious journey. The fact that Perry Baker had shipped it in his own name instead of that of the owner had brought about this unexpected incident. Washy Gallup's gossip his doubt regarding Cap'n Abe's shipping on a sea voyage now came home to Louise with force.
24th. We rose, and set forth, but found a most sad alteration in the road by reason of last night's rains, they being now all dirty and washy, though not deep. 25th. By coach with Sir W. Pen to Covent Garden. By the way, upon my desire, he told me that I need not fear any reflection upon my Lord for their ill success at Argier, for more could not be done than was done. I went to my cozen, Thos.
"The long, washy sound comes first when you close your left ear, so I know the water's flowing that way. It's easy," he added. They kept along the precipitous brink, searching for a place to descend and at last scrambled down and into the shallow stream. "Didn't I tell you so?" said Tom, laying a twig in the water and watching it as best he could in the dim light.
