It was what you was meanin' that counts." "Serves me right. I was preaching to you about education and I'm game to back up the idea even if I did let my foot slip. Come on over to Jennings's with me and I'll get that hat." "All right!" And Pete rolled a smoke as the sheriff picked up several addressed letters and tucked them in his pocket. "I was goin' over to the post-office, anyway."
Not aware of their being in town, however, I blundered on Sir John, I believe, the first day of his coming, and the day after I had called at Mrs. Jennings's. He asked me to a party, a dance at his house in the evening. Had he NOT told me as an inducement that you and your sister were to be there, I should have felt it too certain a thing, to trust myself near him.
"I guess I'll see the thing through," said the hand. "It ain't just square to leave the women folks to bear the brunt of it." It was shortly after breakfast that the Elder concluded he'd walk up to Brother Jennings's and see about church matters. "I shall expect you, Brother Bacon, to be at the service at 2.30."
His large income came from the other two kinds of pupils, the larger part of it from the kind that had no seriousness in them. His problem was how to keep all these paying pupils and also keep his reputation as a teacher. In solving that problem he evolved a method that was the true Jennings's method.
Jennings, and by and by, when everybody was talking, he turned to 'im in a whisper, and asked 'im who the big chap was. "Mrs. Jennings's brother," ses Mr. White; "brewer's drayman he is." Charlie said, "Oh!" and went on eating, a bit relieved in 'is mind. "Your friend and my gal 'll make a nice couple," ses Mr. White, looking at Ted and Emma, sitting 'and in 'and.
Jennings's acquaintance to inform them of her being in town; and Marianne was all the time busy in observing the direction of the wind, watching the variations of the sky and imagining an alteration in the air. "Don't you find it colder than it was in the morning, Elinor? There seems to me a very decided difference. I can hardly keep my hands warm even in my muff. It was not so yesterday, I think.
My hearers had taken me at my word. I had raised the spirit; could I command him, now he was abroad? "Go to Jennings's farm!" "No! he ain't no corn, he sold un' all last week." "There's plenty at the Hall farm! Rouse out the old steward!" And, amid yells and execrations, the whole mass poured down the hill, sweeping me away with them. I was shocked and terrified at their threats.
Jennings's kindness, though its effusions were often distressing, and sometimes almost ridiculous, made her those acknowledgments, and returned her those civilities, which her sister could not make or return for herself. Their good friend saw that Marianne was unhappy, and felt that every thing was due to her which might make her at all less so.
Peyton, who was the night before delivered of an infant, which was unfortunately killed upon the hurry and confusion consequent upon such a disaster, assisted them, being frequently exposed to wet and cold.... Their clothes were very much cut with bullets, especially Mrs. Jennings's."
A very restless and feverish night, however, disappointed the expectation of both; and when Marianne, after persisting in rising, confessed herself unable to sit up, and returned voluntarily to her bed, Elinor was very ready to adopt Mrs. Jennings's advice, of sending for the Palmers' apothecary.
