The sort of man that 'ad always left his baccy-box at 'ome, but always 'ad a big pipe in 'is pocket. He fell overboard off of a lighter one evening, and all that his mates could save was 'is cap. It was on'y two nights afore that he 'ad knocked down an old man and bit a policeman's little finger to the bone, so that, as they pointed out to the widder, p'r'aps he was taken for a wise purpose.
Bekase why: would a wise man want to live in de mids' er sich a blim-blammin' all de time? No 'deed he wouldn't. A wise man 'ud take en buil' a biler-factry; en den he could shet DOWN de biler-factry when he want to res'." "Well, but he WAS the wisest man, anyway; because the widow she told me so, her own self." "I doan k'yer what de widder say, he WARN'T no wise man nuther.
Before it was possible that an answer could be returned, Mrs Gamp, growing redder in the face, went on to say: 'It is not a easy matter, gentlemen, to live when you are left a widder woman; particular when your feelings works upon you to that extent that you often find yourself a-going out on terms which is a certain loss, and never can repay.
Goin' to jine the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society. Since my last swim I've bin thinkin' that three shillin's a year is but a small sum, and the good that they'd do to my widder and childer, if I was drownded, would be worth while havin'." "Right, lad, right; every sailor and fisherman should jine it. But come along; no time for talkin' here. My respects to the missus. Good-bye, lad."
Next I heerd of him he had married a widder who was gittin' a pension because her first husband fit fer his country. The Government shet off the pension jest as soon as she got married ag'in, and then that blamed cuss took in washin' fer her. He stayed away from home on wash-days, but as every day was wash-day with her, he didn't see her by daylight fer three years.
Banks, to prevent me getting married, as she thinks, will give her consent to you an' Elizabeth getting tied up." "Haven't you ever heard of breach of promise cases?" asked his nephew, aghast. "There's no fear o' that," said Captain Barber, confidently. "It's all right with Mrs. Church she's a widder. A widder ain't like a young girl she knows you don't mean anything."
"Do you mean to say that you have met White Violet, the author of these poems?" repeated the editor. "Which her name is Delatour, the widder Delatour, ez she has herself give me permission to tell you," continued Mr. Bowers, with a certain abstracted and automatic precision that dissipated any suggestion of malice in the reversed situation. "Delatour! a widow!" repeated the editor.
"Of course," sez he, "it is a great rise for her, I have hearn that she hain't worth much, as I count wealth, and as we are speakin' in confidence, I will say that there is a rich widder here who has hopes of me, and mebby I've gin her some encouragement, kinder accidental, as you may say, but I ort to know better.
It suddenly occurred to me, sir, that if I could control William Jones, why not turn his affections away from Bella Dougherty, who might take a fancy to him? who knows? women are so queer! and direct his thoughts toward my own Aunt Maggie, who is a middle-aged widder and not so bad-looking, and far too good for such a man as William Jones, although to speak the plain truth I had no objections to having him for an uncle by marriage.
Joe had been there for sometime, and he and the Widder Pool wuz a-settin' together readin' a him out of one book. Jenette looked kinder mauger, and Trueman's wife looked haughtily at her, from over the top of the him book. Mother Charnick had a woosted work-bag on her arm. There might have been a night gown in it, and there might not. It wuz big enough to hold one, and it looked sort o' bulgy.
