Aye, I did so there in front o' that great yawnin' horn, that was ma only listener, and that cared nae mair for hoo I sang than a cat micht ha' done! It was a meenit before I realized what a thing I was doing. And then I laughed; I couldna help it. And I laughed sae hard I fell clean off the stool they'd set me on!
Yu' see, one batch o' tourists pulls out right after breakfast for Norris Basin, leavin' things empty and yawnin'. By noon the whole hotel outfit has been slumberin' in its chairs steady for three hours. Maybe yu' might hear a fly buzz, but maybe not. Everything's liable to be restin', barrin' the kid. He's a-watchin' out.
'Just run, like a good feller, an' tell 'im as I bear a message from George! 'From 'oo? says I. 'From George, says the gent, smilin' an' yawnin' 'just say from George. So, to come to the end of it, up I goes, an' finds me master walkin' up an' down an' aswearin' to 'isself as usual.
Mebbe you noticed that Elder Boone used a strange word in his sermon last Sunday? Now an' then, when there's too many yawnin' to once in the congregation, Parson'll out with a reg'lar jaw-breaker to wake 'em up. The word as near as I could ketch it was 'youthinasia. I kep' holt of it till noontime an' then I run home an' looked through all the y's in the dictionary without findin' it.
Watson, in reproof, as she covered the bread with many wrappings and fixed two chairs to hold it behind the stove for the night; "you didn't even worry the night the crop froze, sleepin' and snorin' the whole night through, with me up every half hour watching the thermometer, and it slippin' lower and lower, and the pan o' water on the woodpile gettin' its little slivers of ice around the edge, and when the thermometer went to thirty, I knew it was all up with the wheat, but do you think I could wake you you rolled over with a grunt, leavin' me alone to think of the two hundred acres gone in the night, after all our hard work ... and then to have you come down in the mornin', stretchin' and yawnin', after a good night's sleep, and says you, as cheerful as could be, 'Cold mornin', Ma!"
'Silver buttons too! says the gent, 'let me see ah yes! a V, yes, to be sure 'ave the goodness to step to your master an' say as a gentleman begs to see 'im. 'Can't be done, sir, says I; 'me master ain't seein' nobody, bein' in indifferent 'ealth. 'Nonsense! says the gentleman, yawnin' an' slippin' a guinea into me 'and.
