As to their outpourings of abuse, my philosophy resembles that of the old whipper-in of the Meynell-Ingram Hounds: "I bain't a cruel chap, I bain't. But when I puts the lash among the hounds I dew like to hear 'em yowl; I dew like to see 'em skip, and writhe, and look mad. For if ye don't make 'em feel, and if ye can't hear 'em yowl, there's railly no pleasure in thrashin' of 'em."
"Well, I don't know but I'm a leetle grain sorry," she said. "Sorry!" repeated the sister of the person under discussion. "I don't see what thar railly is to be sorry about." Mrs. Lithicum looked as if she had got her foot into it, and she flushed, but she had her defence ready.
I railly thought I could not get them filled; but I did at last, and then they was stupid like, they'd been short of victuals so long." "Are their clothes as poor as their bodies?" "Yes, indeed; and it does seem hard this cold weather for little children to have neither flesh nor flannels over the bones."
But Lor! who'll ever mend for ye?" and Aunt Chloe, again overcome, laid her head on the box side, and sobbed. "To think on 't! no crittur to do for ye, sick or well! I don't railly think I ought ter be good now!"
"I thought the deacon never quarrelled with any body." "But, you see, old Silence there, she will quarrel with him: railly, that cretur is a tough one;" and Uncle Jaw leaned back in his chair, and contemplated the quarrelsome propensities of Miss Silence with the satisfaction of a kindred spirit. "But I'll fix her yet," he continued; "I see how to work it."
So, when Uncle Jaw had finished his prelection, the deacon, after some meditation, came out with, "Railly, they say that your son is going to have the valedictory in college."
Mrs. Dawson caught her breath suddenly, so sharp was her own pain, but she still strove to console her daughter. "He's railly not wuth thinkin' about, darlin'; do do try to forget 'im. It may look like a body never could git over a thing like that, but I reckon a pusson kin manage to sort o' bear it better, after awhile, than they kin right at the start. Sally, I'm goin' to tell you a secret.
'I hain't much of a hand to jump at a trade. It railly does my eyes good to look at lumber like that these days when the best timber you kin git is full o' sap an' worm-holes. How would twenty-five dollars for the pile look to you? "'Why, said Pete, with a funny look at me an' Jim, 'you only paid eleven for the tent an' planks together.
A close observer might have suspected that this was no news to the good deacon, who had given a great deal of good advice, in private, to Master Joseph of late; but he only relaxed his features into a quiet smile, and ejaculated, "I want to know!" "Yes; and railly, deacon, that 'ere gal is a rail pretty un. I was a tellin' my folks that our new minister's wife was a fool to her."
"Oh!" sais I, "we won't say no more about that; I only meant it as a joke, and nothin' more. But railly now, Abednego, what is the state of our legation?" "'I don't see nothin' ridikilous, sais he, 'in that are expression, of Hope pitchin' her tent on a hill. It's figurativ' and poetic, but it's within the line that divides taste from bombast. Hope pitchin' her tent on a hill!
