"Nay, child, and you did right; I am not blaming you The young to the young, and let the dead bury the dead! Kiss me, lad, if you can find room between these plaguey bandages.
You you don't mean you ARE willin' to keep her here, with us, for good? You don't mean THAT?" The Captain snorted impatiently. "Don't be so foolish, Zoeth," he protested. "You knew plaguey well I never meant anything else." The next day Captain Shadrach drove to Ostable and spent several hours in consultation with Judge Baxter.
"Here I've been in this plaguey country for goin' on a year, and yes, I'm sick of it, powerful sick of it. What a miser'ble Thanksgivin' this has been! They don't know what Thanksgivin' is out this way. I wish I was back in ol' Mass'chusetts that's the country for me, and they hev the kind o' Thanksgivin' I like!"
First and foremost recollect, Mr Nickerson, you are a married man, and it's no use for a gall to talk it into you; and then, in the next place, you see you know a plaguey sight more about the shape, make, and build of a craft like this than you do about the figure-head, waist, and trim of a gall.
Though its waves are apt enough to burst my banks and my nets, yet I love them for all that, and so do you love our pretty wench, with all her plaguey tricks. Don't you?" "Why, one cannot be really angry with her, to be sure," said the dame, smiling. Here the door flew open, and a beautiful fair creature tripped in, and said, playfully: "Well, father, you made game of me; where is your guest?"
He was the sole passenger to descend and was starting toward the omnibus when accosted by a man in a full coat who said, "This way, sir. Mr. Wetherby couldn't come to meet you, as he is makin' a talk up there now. We wasn't any too sure you'd get here, on account of this plaguey snow fall, but he sent me down to make sure that if you did you'd get to the court house on the jump.
He ate a little mite of supper, but not much, and then off he puts. Says he's goin' to walk the fog out'n his head. I told him, s' I, 'You'll walk a plaguey sight more in than you do out, THIS night, but he went just the same. He was dreadful kind of dumpy and blue this evenin'. Seemed to be sort of soggy in his mind.
But just as he was about to untie the sack, the girl who sat inside the sack called out: I see what you're at! I see what you're at! 'The deuce you do! said the ogre; 'then you must have plaguey sharp eyes'; for he thought all the while it was the girl inside the hill who was speaking.
The truth was or so I tried to excuse him that beside his plaguey trick of falling in and out of love he had an overhanging quarrel with his father, a worthy man, tyrannous when crossed, who meant him for the law. Nat abhorred the law, and, foreseeing that the tussel must come, vexed his honest conscience with the thought that while delaying to declare war he was eating his father's bread.
Then Fate interposed and Carmine fumbled, a Chambers forward falling on the ball. "That's the trouble with Carmine," grumbled Clint. "He fumbles too plaguey much." Brimfield was over-anxious and Roberts was caught off-side. Chambers worked a double-pass and made six around Roberts' end. Two attacks on Tyler gave the visitor the other four and made it first down on Brimfield's forty-yard line.
