Which consists in barin' the land as if it was a judge's chin, to be clean-shaved every marnin'. My wurrd! Won't Passon Walden be just wild! M'appen he's heard of it already, for he seems main worrited about somethin' or other.
But the young woman could n't find no pin stickin' the baby, 'nd, no matter how much she stewed and worrited, the baby kep' right on cryin', jest the same. Holy smoke! but how that baby did cry. Now, I reckoned that the colonel would be gettin' almighty mad if this thing kep' up much longer.
'Uncle's a lord! Oh! 'Your uncle! That stick of a man! Don't be putting your jokes on me, when I'm worrited to death! exclaimed Mrs. Morton, in fretful tones. 'No joke. It's true Lord Northmoor.

On'y," she hesitated slightly, "ez he's got now sorter set and pinted towards your school, and is a trifle worrited with stock and them Harrisons, ye might tech it lightly. He oughter be along yer now. I can't think what keeps him."
