"No, that she don't," said a third, making reply for me; "nor his father, neyther. I'll warrant, now, the chap has run away from home. Have you gi'n 'em the slip, little sticklebat?" "Look here, youngster!" said the mate.
The homes themselves meant more to them now, not as shelters, but as sacred shrines; and many a glance sought out Nicholas Oldfield standing quietly by the reverential glance accorded those who find out unsuspected wealth. Young Nick approached his father with an awkwardness sitting more heavily upon him than usual. "Well," said he, "I'm mighty glad you gi'n 'em that lot."
He knew what was coming. "Well, he sent word he meant to give us a clock, same as he had other towns, an' he wanted we should have it up before the celebration." "Yes," said Nicholas Oldfield, "he'll give us a clock, will he? I knew he would. I've said 'twas comin'. He give one to Saltash; he's gi'n 'em all over the county. Do you know what them clocks be?
She was al'ays runnin' off to town; an' you know a man don' want a ooman on wheels. Ef de Lawd had intended a ooman to have wheels, he 'd 'a' gi'n 'em to her, would n' he?" "Well, I suppose he would," assented Mrs. Meriwether. "And this one is Sarah? Well, how is ?" "Yes, 'm; dis one was Sairey." We just caught the past tense.
I'd sharpened my axe good, I can tell you, and it didn't take me long to cut through twenty more rings, and there, sure enough, was the blaze; and if ever you see a blue-lookin' man, that man was McKellop; for as soon as old Peter see the blaze he recollected hearin' his father tell about the survey; he recollected it particular because the old man was a good judge of apple-jack, and he'd said that my father'd gi'n him some of the best, that day the survey was made, that he'd ever tasted.
He stepped forward and took the horse by the bridle. "Now," said he to the driver, "I've gi'n ye half the road, an' if ye can't drive by in that I'm a-going to lead ye by, 'thout no more nonsense." "Let go that bridle!" yelled the driver, standing up and lashing at him with the whip. One stroke caught the young man down the side of the face, and stung. It was a rash stroke.
Elihu's as good a boy as ever stepped; but if he could be took down a peg an' I shouldn't care if 'twas before the whole township, too he'd be worth more by half than he is to-day. Law! you'd ought to seen him a hundred years ago or more, arter I gi'n him a good spankin'. Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth." "Oh, don't! He's comin'," Amarita begged her.
You see the way on't wuz: we had to do sumthin' to raise the minister's salary, which wuz most half a year behindhand, to say nothin' of the ensuin' year a-comin'. And as I have hinted at before but hain't gi'n petickulers, the men in the meetin' house had all gi'n out, and said they had gi'n every cent they could, and they couldn't and they wouldn't do any more, any way.
Debby had unconsciously hit the raw. "Do you s'pose I'd do anything David can't hear?" "Law, I didn't know," said Debby, as if the matter were of very little consequence. "Mis' Peleg Chase, she gi'n me a beef-bone, t'other day, an' she says, 'Don't ye tell him!

Come along, I'll stand you somethin' for the sake of old times. By the way, have you done that job yet?" "What job?" "Why, the dynamite job, of course." "No, I've gi'n that up," returned the Irishman with a look of contempt. "To tell you the honest truth, I don't believe that the way to right Ireland is to blow up England.
