"Get my clothes, Sister Ann. I can walk." "No, you mustn't walk, Deary, you can't; we'll drive. But I wish you wouldn't go out at all, Floyd. Do listen to me!" "But I must go.

Fold and farm are needing the master's eye and hand; and it will be a poor lambing season for us, I think, wanting Steve. And, deary me, Charlotte, one word from you would bring him home!" Charlotte stooped, and lifted the tortoise-shell cat, lying on the rug at her feet. She was not fond of cats, and she was only attentive to puss as the best means of hiding her blushes.
But it worked, and I got her off, and wot's more I got her shipped to Mazatlan, where she'll join Marion, and the two are goin' back to Virginy, where I guess they won't trouble Californy again. Ye know now, deary," he went on, speaking with difficulty through Mrs.
"I'm glad you fancy them, my love; take some more, deary, it'll do you good." "No, thanks; I'd rather have a wig now." And Elisabeth helped herself to one of the three-cornered cakes, called "wigs," which are peculiar to Mershire. "You always are fortunate in your pigs," Mrs. Hankey remarked; "such fine hams and such beautiful roaded bacon I never see anywhere equal to yours.
If there's slaves in them parts where you're a-going, I'll be bound to you for one, and happy, but doen't ye leave me behind, Dan'l, that's a deary dear! 'My good soul, said Mr. Peggotty, shaking his head, 'you doen't know what a long voyage, and what a hard life 'tis! 'Yes, I do, Dan'l! I can guess! cried Mrs. Gummidge.
She went up proudly enough, her head held high, for she divined that the man would be watching her. But when she entered her room her pride forsook her, and she sank into a chair by the east window, dismayed and frightened. While she sat there the slatternly woman slowly opened the door and stuck her head in. She grinned widely at Barbara. "Goin' ridin' this mawnin', deary?"
She had enjoyed the reputation of being a good sport, a girl whom it was hard to dare. But she had her weakness. "I won't," she said, "I won't I can't bring myself to touch a live lobster." Old Martha's face became extremely grave. She leaned forward. She was all confidence. "Deary," she said, "nor more can I." The two women exploded into laughter, loud and prolonged.
'What joy is to come to us of this marriage, mother? asked the daughter. 'You have not told me that. 'The joy, she replied, attiring herself, with fumbling fingers, 'of no love at all, and much pride and hate, my deary. The joy of confusion and strife among 'em, proud as they are, and of danger danger, Alice! 'What danger? 'I have seen what I have seen.
"Why, look at her beside of Wrestling Brewster, or Faith Carver. They are flesh and blood, and she looks as if she had been made out of sunshine. 'Tis a sweet babe as ever was; but fitter for the kingdom of heaven than our rough life deary me! a hard time we have had of it. I suppose it's all best, but I don't know."
I know how 'tis; I know you think that I am lone and lorn; but, deary love, 'tan't so no more! I ain't sat here, so long, a-watching, and a-thinking of your trials, without some good being done me. Mas'r Davy, speak to him for me! I knows his ways, and Em'ly's, and I knows their sorrows, and can be a comfort to 'em, some odd times, and labour for 'em allus!
