"Yes, yes, we've heard all about it; go on." "Well," continued Massan, "I needn't be wastin' time tellin' you how we failed in that affair, and how the Huskies killed some of our men and burnt our ship to the water's edge.
"If you don't want to hang 'round town till Tony gets ready to come back, mebbe you could find somebody comin' this way who would give you a lift home. It seems sort of a shame to stay there wastin' the time you could be usin' here." Lucy smiled at the characteristic remark.

Jean, who had been out as a scout, returned with the information that a company of cavalry had come down from the fort and that the Apaches had hastily decamped for parts unknown. "I reckon we'll throw into the trail again tomorrow, Joe," the drover told Yankie. "No use wastin' time here if we don't have to stay. We'll mosey along toward the river.
He paused for a moment only, then in altered voice he reminded them: "Ef I don't go back, my death'll be all the answer they'll need over thar but ther guilt fer bloodshed an' what follers hit will rest on ther Doanes henceforth.

I was vexed for having onything to say to it. I thought it was only wasting a candle to chase a will-o'-the-wisp. About the time I speak o', my mither had turned very frail. I saw there was a wastin' awa o' nature, and she wadna be lang beside me. "Weel, as I was saying, my mither dee'd, and I found the house very dowie without her. I sent for the siller the very next post.
Somehow, I didn't tap Clyde for so much real information. In fact, if I'd been at all touchy I might have worked up the notion that I was bein' snubbed.

Ye're hungry, Pharo; ye're wastin'; come along!" Uncle Coffin seized me on the way, but in voiceless appreciation of my physical meanness he supported me with one hand, while he affectionately mauled and whirled me with the other. "Dodrabbit ye! you young spark, you! whar' ye been all this time?" he cried though I had never gazed upon his face before!

The cat jumped off Abe's lap, running to Samuel with a mew of recognition. Abe turned his head, and made a startled ejaculation.

"We want you to stay with us and rest while we try to find the man who ran you down." "Oh, him!" cried the old woman scornfully, all the time patting Grace's hand with gentle fingers.
