To the mother the daughter was the very nice young relatively young woman who had taken such good care of Dave last year, who was now so very kind and civil as to take charge of an old encumbrance at the bidding of a glorious Guardian Angel, who had dawned on these last days suddenly, inexplicably! An encumbrance at least, and no doubt plaguy, or she never would have been called an old cat.
'You saw the body, eh? and a dozen other interrogatories followed, as, cold and wet with melting snow, dishevelled, and storm-beaten for it was a plaguy rough night the young fellow, with a general greeting to the company, made his way to the fire.
The strange medley of noises caused by the boys, the snarling bear, and the obstinate mule, had been heard in the still twilight for a long distance, by the guard, and mistaken for the approach of a party of Apaches. "I wish you'd take this devilish bear," said Hal. "And won't you take this plaguy mule?" exclaimed Ned.
It appears, an old Minister came there once, to hold a meetin at his house well, after meetin was over, the Elder took the minister all over his farm, which is pretty tidy, I tell you; and he shewed him a great Ox he had, and a swingeing big Pig, that weighed some six or seven hundred weight, that he was plaguy proud of, but he never offered the old minister any thing to eat or drink.
Now this Province is like that are Grahamite lawyer's beef, its too good for the folks that's in it; they either don't avail its value or wont use it, because work ant arter their "law of natur." As for politics, they have nothin to desarve the name, but they talk enough about it, and a plaguy sight of nonsense they do talk too.
"Dad, we often talk about natur; what is it?" "Tut," sais he, "don't ask me; every fool knows what natur is." "Exactly," sais I; "that's the reason I came to you." He just up with a book, and came plaguy near lettin' me have it right agin my head smash. "Don't do that," sais I, "Daddy; I was only joking; but what is it?"
She was a plaguy old cat, and Miss Lutwyche, with whom she had been on very good terms in Cavendish Square, had washed her hands of her! Then, when the servants here were attentive to her and they were all right, as far as that went it was mere deceptiousness, and they were wishing her at Jericho. She was conscious that the lady's-maid and Mary Anne came back, still talking.
If we join issue on it we must be defeated; for how can we deny the certificates were in form; and yet the plaguy thing is not loose enough to be demurred to? Colls, who drew these pleas for them?" "Mr. Colvin, sir." "Make a note to employ him in our next stiff pleading." Alfred was staggered. He had thought to ride rough-shod over defendant a common expectation of plaintiffs; but seldom realised.
She would rather have gone on doing so than that the recollection should come back to her of Lutwyche's odious designation that she had taken to herself, so warrantably to all appearance. A plaguy old cat! What had she ever done or said to Miss Lutwyche, or any of them, to deserve such a name? And then that girl who was with her had seemed to accept it so easily certainly without any protest.
"I've been tryin' to think up some other hymn tunes and I've thought of one, but I can't remember what 'tis, the whole of it, I mean. You know, Miss Martha, the one about: 'Oh, what a sight 'twill be When the somethin'-or-other host we see, As numberless as the sands on the seashore. What kind of a host is it, Miss Martha? All I can think of is 'rancid' and I'm plaguy sure 'tain't THAT."
