But good land! I knew he couldn't rent any camel; circuses need 'em more than we do. The next day we all went out to see Pompey's Piller which we had seen towerin' up before we landed, all on 'em ridin' donkeys but me, but I not being much of a hand to ride on any critter's back, preferred to go in a chair with long poles on each side, carried by four Arabs.
In his panic he fairly tumbled from his perch to the floor, and straightway fled for refuge to the broad back of the surprised and flattered pig. "The little critter's all right!" declared MacPhairrson, when he and the Boy were done laughing. "Ananias-an'-Sapphira won't hurt him. She likes all the critters she kin bully an' skeer.
Why, Orrin, he raised nine on 'em, and every darned critter's as poor as Job's turkey, to-day: they a'n't no good. I'd as lieves ha' had nine chestnut rails, an' a little lieveser, 'cause they don't eat nothin'." "You don't know of any poor person who'd like to have a pig, do you?" said Miss Lucinda, wistfully.
"I guess the darned little critter's got three barrels to his gun somehow; leastwise it seems to me, I swon, 'at he fired her off three times without loadin' I guess I'll quit tryin' to shoot agin Frank, to-day." "I told you so!" said Harry to the Commodore, with a low laugh, and then added aloud "I think you may as well, Tom for I don't believe the fellow will miss another bird to-day."
He's a horse, every inch of him, stock, lock, and barrel, is Old Clay." No. Sister Sall's Courtship. "There goes one of them 'ere everlastin' rottin' poles in that bridge; they are no better than a trap for a critter's leg," said the Clockmaker. "They remind me of a trap Jim Munroe put his foot in one night, that near about made one leg half a yard longer than t'other.
Instead of speaking of a critter's heart therefore, it would to my mind have been far better to have spoke of the natur of the animal, for I go the whole hog for human natur. But I suppose nobody would understand me if I did, and would say I had no heart to say so. I'll take it therefore, as I find it a thing having a body or substance that can be hurt, and a spirit that can be grieved.
Well, before you've got your lassoo coiled, the critter's eyes'll tell you just what sort o' tea-party you're goin' to have. Thar was a man once a hoss wrangler an' the easier a hoss broke, the more he'd mouch around an' hang his head, real melancholy and sad-eyed.
"That I cannot tell, but once when she and I were in the City of New York, we read about a great singer who had some magnificent jewels, and my wife said to me: 'I'll wager I could-show jewels handsomer and richer than that critter's got, and they claim hers are valued at a hundred thousand dollars."
The critter's very fond of me and so be I of her. I had plaguy hard work, I tell you, to get her consent." "Come, come," said the colonel, "you want to drive a hard bargain with me. I'm willing to give you a fair price, say twenty thousand; but I don't want to be swindled." "Say twenty-five thousand and take her, curnil." "No twenty." "Cash down?" "Cash down." "Done."
"In the large woods especially. In the small places there are plenty of sure finds." "There harn't been nothing of frosts yet keen enough to stir them," said Tom. "I guess we'll find them. And there harn't been a gun shot off this three weeks there. Hoel's wife's ben down sick all the fall, and Halbert's gun busted in the critter's hand." "Ah! did it hurt him?"
