She had leaned her gun against the side of the chair, so that, if needed, it was within quick reach. Then she assumed a stooping posture, with her head gently touching the underside of the door, and, steadying herself by grasping the iron hook, she stood motionless and listening. "Yes, he's dar!" was her instant conclusion, "and de wiper is tryin' to onfasten de skylight ob my obpartment."
"One works on the shaft, t' other on a sleeve," he mused, as he turned them. "A roundhouse wiper could see that. Bevel-gearin' inside, I guess. It's a boat, sure enough, and this reverse action must be to keep her from rolling."
"And the father of a family?" "Three boys and a babe at the buzzom," said Mr. Stubmore pathetically. "And he sha'n't be taken in if I can help it! That 'ere young man as I am arter, you see, knows Captain Smith ha! ha! smell a rat now eh?" "Captain Smith said he knew him the wiper and that's what made me so green."
Uncle Mo always figured to himself sisters, and even sisters-in-law, as essentially short of middle life. You may remember also his peculiar view that married twins could not survive their husbands. "What sort of man did you make him out to be, Mo?" "A bad sort in a turn-up with no rules. Might be handy with a knife on occasion. Foxy sort of wiper!" "Not your sort, Mo?"
Among the rabble collected about the doorway is a half-witted youngster of about ten or twelve summers with a suit of clothes consisting of a waist string and a piece of rag about the size of an ordinary pen- wiper. He is the unfortunate possessor of a stomach disproportionately large and which intrudes itself upon other people's notice like a prize pumpkin at an agricultural fair.
Father asked the Indian the way home, he said, "My house, my wigwam, which way my home?" The Indian pointed with his wiper, and showed us the way. Father said afterward, it was strange that the Indian should know where he lived, as he had never seen him before. I never saw that Indian afterward.
Go to, wipe well, my little gossip, wipe; God hath furnished thee with a tail; thou hast a long one, and of a bigness proportionable; wipe hard, and be not weary. A good wiper, who, in wiping continually, wipeth with his wipard, by wasps shall never be wounded. Wipe, my pretty minion; wipe, my little bully; I will not stay long.
But now he was so tired, with all his adventures of the day, that he just gave a long sigh and said: "I am not going to stir! I am just going to lie down here and sleep until morning! Enough has happened for one day." So he stretched out, with a pen wiper for a cushion, and went to sleep. Bright and early the next morning Sidney ran over to the house of his cousins.
Aim to please and tend to save, show the honor of the tripe, squeeze the whole pen wiper close, show the arc light where to choose, see the cable leave the ton, show it the face merrily, there is rousing in the cake there is a bite in the plain pin, there is no more disgrace than there is. There certainly is not.
He doubted if Truman Stump could command sufficient influence to secure his appointment as fireman before he had undergone a preliminary training as wiper and hostler in the round-house, though he felt that he already possessed experience as valuable as any to be gained in those positions.
