And to this old trustworthy weepon I held in all his different plans to inviggle me into his preposterous idees and found it answered better than reason or ridicule. But even this failed to break up his crazy plan. I felt dretful and how I wuz goin' to break it up and git his mind off I couldn't tell; I talked it over with the children.
But such idees are futile, futiler than I often mean to be. 'Tennyrate and anyway all the time, all the time the shuttles moved back and forth to and fro, and old Miss Time's tapestry widened out. That summer my pardner had a oncommon good streak of luck, he sold two colts and a yearlin' heifer for a price that fairly stunted us both, it wuz so big.
Anybody know if anywhar they do it the other way around?" Apparently nobody did. "Anybody got any idees as to why we shouldn't follow Shirttail in this matter? Dog-gone you! Set down! You ain't got nothin' to say here." The man appealed to the crowd. "Ain't I got a right to be heard in my own case?" he demanded.
He told me if I'd b'lieve in Jesus as I b'lieved in Andrew Jackson, I'd pull through in the course of time. I've been tryin' to do it, an' while I was in the jail I got lots of new idees of how I ort to behave myself, all from a little book that man left me, that didn't have nothin' in it but Jesus' own words.
To see him, and Deacon Henzy, and Deacon Bobbet, and the rest dressed up in a few feathers a-jumpin' round, and a-beatin' tin-pans, and a-contortin' their old frames, would, I thought, be the finishin' touch to me. I had stood lots of his experimentin' and branchin's out into new idees, but I felt that I could not brook this, so I would not heed his desire to stop. I made him move onwards.
And Charlton was all the more sensitive from a certain vague consciousness that he himself had let down the bars of his dignity by unfolding his theories so gushingly to Whisky Jim. What did Jim know what could a man who said "idees" know about the great world-reforming thoughts that engaged his attention?
"It's my notion, old Tom, that you, and your huts, and your traps, and your whole possessions, hereaway, are in desperate jippardy," returned the matter-of-fact Hurry, who saw no use in concealment. "Accordin' to my idees of valie, they're altogether not worth half as much today as they was yesterday, nor would I give more for 'em, taking the pay in skins."
And on that, being much besieged, California John sat him down and told of his experience. California John was discursive and interested and disinclined to be hurried. He crossed one leg over the other and lit his pipe. "I was driftin' down the road busy with my own idees which ain't many," he began, "when I was woke up all to once by someone givin' me advice. I took the advice.
So Serena Fogg's idees of men and married life wuz about as thin and as well suited to stand the wear and tear of actual experience as a gauze dress would be to face a Greenland winter in. And when we got it all arranged Josiah and I set out for home, I calm in my frame, though dreadin' the job some. But Josiah Allen wuz jest crazy over that lecture crazy as a loon.
He fairly made my blood warm, he did, when he spoke of your having beauty without seeming ever to have looked upon it, and the manner in which you moved about like a young fa'n, so nat'ral and graceful like, without knowing it; and the truth and justice of your idees, and the warmth and generosity of your heart "
