The following day, they would spend in town; purchasing an outfit of the necessary equipment and supplies, securing a burro, and attending to numerous odds and ends of business preparatory to their indefinite absence. It so happened, the next day, that Yee Kee, who was to care for the place during their weeks of absence had matters of importance to himself, that demanded his attention in town.
"We're not giving up this place, though," replied Aaron King. "Yee Kee stays to take care of things until our return." "Oh, I see. I generally go into the mountains, myself for a little hunt when the deer season opens. It may be that I will run across you somewhere. By the way you haven't met your musical neighbor yet, have you?"
We had, however, once more to camp. "Why, Pompey," I said, when we had unsaddled our horses, "I thought that we should have seen Mr. Rochford before this." "Yee, massa; he no far off, dough," he answered. "Me think you better stop here, while Pompey go on an' tell him dat you come." "Well, then, the sooner you let him know the better, as he will not wish to lose time," I replied.
He must be going to take the dead branches off the apple trees; I heard Ansel tell him yesterday to do it." "Yee, that will be it," said Hetty, bending over the plants as if she were afraid to look elsewhere. Nathan came nearer to the herb-garden. He was a tall, stalwart, handsome enough fellow, even in his quaint working garb.
The first day after the camp was built, the artist declaring that he would settle the question, at once, as to whether Yee Kee could cook a trout as skillfully as the novelist took rod and flies, and leaving the famous author in a hammock, with Czar lying near set out up the canyon.
There's a heap o' useless critters in the univarse, but I guess birds are 'bout the uselessest, 'less it's grasshoppers, mebbe." "I don't care what you say about the grasshoppers, Ansel, but you shan't abuse the birds," said Susanna, stooping over the beds of tansy and sage, thyme and summer savory. "Weeds or no weeds, we're going to have a great crop of herbs this year, Ansel!" "Yee, so we be!
By no meanes; the author has sworne to the contrary, least it should grow so wonderous old and turne a Ballad. Crac. Well said, Captain; the tother health, Captain: heres good wine, good Tobackoe, good everything: had we but a good wench or two twere excellent. Suc. Great Alexander, does not dreame of this, I warrant yee. Grimes.
And what aucthoritie in the place above recited Christe comitted unto Peter, the same gave he also unto all the rest of his Apostles, John 20. verse 21. sayenge to them all: Whoesoever synnes yee remitte, they are remitted unto them; and whoesoever synnes yee retaine, they are retained.
I have seen a man in Nashville tear up his theatre tickets because his wife was going out with her face covered with rice powder. In San Francisco's Chinatown I saw the slave girl Sing Yee dipped slowly, inch by inch, in boiling almond oil to make her swear she would never see her American lover again. She gave in when the boiling oil had reached three inches above her knee.
"Ephraim seems repentant; if he is willing to try again, we must be willing to do as much." "Yee, Daniel, you are right. Another matter that causes me anxiety is Susanna. I never yearned for a soul as I yearn for hers! She has had the advantage of more education and more reading than most of us have ever enjoyed; she's gifted in teaching and she wins the children.
