You know how he blasphemed and drank, and grew wickeder every year, till finally the very last night of the seventh year came, and just a few minutes before twelve he became possessed of the devil, and beat his mother, and then ran out of the house and was never seen again. And why was he never seen again, Baptiste?" She was getting strangely excited, and her voice was rising.
It's a secret, but" lips and parasol again, eyes wickeder than ever "it's something that you can see and touch. Promise you'll never tell, never-never-never?" He promised. "Wait here." She ran into the house, trolling a song. As John sat listening for her return, the thought came abruptly, "Hasn't Jeff-Jack got something to do with this?"
He waxed every instant madder, wickeder, more devilishly exultant; and now, although panting, breathless, pricking at every pore from the agony of the strain, he could scarce forbear screaming with delight! for he felt he was gaining, and O ecstasy! knew that his adversary felt it also, and that his heart was as full of black despair and terror as was his conqueror's of intolerable triumph!
"Well," sez Arvilly, "I d'no as it would be much wickeder than some prayers I've hearn when folks wuz in a hurry; they would run their thanksgivin's into their petitions and them into their amens, and gallop through 'em so there wuzn't a mite of sense in 'em. Or take so much pains to inform the Lord about things.
But the Christian, wiser than you, gave me smooth words; and I would have sold ye to his power; wickeder than you, he deceived me; and I would have crushed him that I might have continued to deceive and rule the puppets that ye call your chiefs.
Why no pirate wuz ever wickeder than he made himself out to be, in the old times before he turned round and become pious. But I didn't believe it, for he had a good look to his face, all but the high headed look he had, and sort o' vain.
"But Rome isn't always burning," said the cousins. "Yes, it is! Yes, it is!" The wickeder of the two cousins breathed a penitential sigh, dropped her bare, jewelled arms out of her cloak, and said: "Now tell us once more about Mary Richling." He had bored them to death with Mary. Lent was a relief to all three.
She had barely gone half a quarter of a league before she sees one of the brigands coming after her, just out of craftiness to make quite sure that she had seen nothing. She guesses this, and sits herself down on a boulder. "'What is the matter, good woman? asks the short one, for it was the shorter one and the wickeder of the two who was dogging her.
"Solomon Hyde," said Long Jim Hart indignantly, "ef you don't stop talkin' that way I'll hit you over the head with the barrel uv my rifle. I'm cold enough an' wet enough already without you conjurin' up happy dreams an' things that ain't. Them contrasts make me miserabler than ever, an' I'm likely to get wickeder too. I give you fair warning'." "All right," replied Shif'less Sol resignedly.
For this she was reprimanded by the keepers, and exhorted to alter her behaviour by the minister of the place, which had at last so good an effect upon her that she became more quiet for the two or three last days of her life; in which she professed herself exceedingly grieved for the many offences of her misspent life, declaring she heartily forgave the woman who was an evidence against her, and who she believed was much wickeder than herself, because as this criminal pretended, she had varied not a little from the truth.
