I bin see some uv dese vay people's daddies" Mammy used this word advisedly "kayin' their vittles in a tin bucket to their work; that what I bin see." I was shaving during this monologue of Mammy's, with my back to her. A sudden exclamation of the name of the Lord made me start around and endanger my nose.
So when all were ready, washed, and in their clean clothes, every one of the kabouter families, daddies, mothers, and young ones, were ranged in lines and made to sing. The heavy male tenors and baritones, the female sopranos and contraltos, the trebles of the little folks, and the squeaks of the very small children, down to the babies' cooing, were all heard by the gnomes, who were judges.
Oh, Darling, you ought to be the happiest girl in the world!" "I'm happy, all right," said Fledra gravely; "only, I feel sorry for Katherine. Somehow, we changed Daddies, didn't we?" "Yes, Dear, and I feel for her too," lamented Ann. "I can't see how she's going to bear it." "Maybe she's been a praying," said Fledra, "as I did when I thought I was coming to Lem. It does help a lot."
What rotten good is our education, yours and mine and Arthur's and Norman's? We're soaked in general culture, and if our daddies went broke to-day, we'd be falling down to-morrow on teachers' examinations. The best job you could get, Ruth, would be a country school or music teacher in a girls' boarding-school." "And pray what would you do?" she asked. "Not a blessed thing.
"Say, Buddy," he said at length, "are there many more like you out yonder in the big road? young fellows that can walk right out o' school and tell their daddies how to run things?" Tom's laugh was boyishly hearty. "Plenty of 'em, pappy; lots of 'em! The old world is moving right along; it would be a pity if it didn't, don't you think?
Big Tim looked quickly at his companion, and laughed. "Well, well," he said, "the daddies have a good go at us in youth. It's but fair that we should have a turn at them afterwards." A sharp signal from one of the young Indians in the distance interrupted further converse, and drew them away to see what he had discovered.
Like MacGregor, they evidently saw something beneath his habiliments, though the small mustache puzzled them. "You-all been to France?" asked Dave. De Launay did not answer direct. "There was some reputed bronk peelers nursin' mules overseas," he mused. "Their daddies would sure have been mortified to see 'em." "We didn't dry nurse no mules, pilgrim," said Sucatash. "When did you lick Hindenburg?"
There is many folk that has a face to the religion that is in fashion, and there is many folk, they have ay a face to the old company, they have a face for godly folk, and they have a face for persecutors of godly folk, and they will be daddies bairns and minnies bairns both; they will be prelates bairns and they will be malignants bairns and they will be the people of God's bairns.
He was made chairman of the bearers, of whom Ephraim Prescott was one. After this, as we have said, Jethro was more than ever at the store or rather in that domestic domain behind it which Wetherell and Cynthia shared with Miss Millicent Skinner. Moses Hatch was wont to ask Cynthia how her daddies were.
This opened to me a vista of troops of kiddies wandering up and down the cliffs, wailing the poor daddies that will never be given back by the rough sea, and the mothers who found life harder than they could bear, and it saddened me. You always said I must beware of my imagination, but I think there was a funded reality in that vision.
