He said, 'I would as lieve be an old coon-dog as obliged to do what any man or set of men would tell me to do. I will support the present Administration as far as I would any other; that is, as far as I believe its views to be right. I will pledge myself to support no Administration. I had rather be politically damned than hypocritically immortalized."
"No his sister was with him; he had been complaining all the evening that he didn't feel right, but I didn't think nothing of it and I didn't know as he did; and towards evening he went and laid down, and Flidda was with him a spell, talking to him; and at last he sent her to bed and called me in and said he felt mighty strange and he didn't know what it was going to be, and that he had as lieve I should send up and ask Mis' Plumfield to come down, and perhaps I might as well send for the doctor too.
"Well, now, honey, you hab 'lieve yo' min', en I specs you feel bettah. You mus' des promis yo' ole mammy dat you be keerful en not rile up ole mars'r, kase hit'll ony be harder fer you. I'se ole, en I knows tings do hap'n dough dey of'un come slowlike. You des gwine troo de woods now, en kyant see fur; bimeby you come ter a clearin'. Dat boy ob mine be comin' soon fer his pone en bacon.
"It's best to be keerful," observed Mosely uneasily. "I should say so," echoed his friend, Tom Hadley. "Right you both are!" said Bradley affably. "I say, Mosely, I like you. You're jest such a sort of man as I am. You'd jest as lieve shoot a man as to eat your dinner; now, wouldn't you?" "If he'd insulted me," said Mosely hesitatingly. "Of course.
Though, for the matter of that, I'd as lieve blab it to the whole sex at once, as to go for to tell it to such a thing as you." "Such a thing as me, Sir!" said Mr. Lovel, letting fall his knife and fork, and looking very important; "I really have not the honour to understand your expression." "It's all one for that," said the Captain; "you may have it explained whenever you like it."
"For her sake!" gasped the woman "for her sake! Oh, yes! Go on." "Well," said Dunn gloomily, "I reckon perhaps you'd as lieve left me in hell, for all the love you bear me. And may be you've grudge enough agin me still to wish I'd found her and him together." "You think so?" she said, turning her head away. "There, d n it! I didn't mean to make you cry. May be you wouldn't, then.
She looked at him without speaking. At length she said, "Where have you been?" "I've been to General Belch's," he sobbed, in reply; "and I don't mind Aunt Dagon, if you don't." "What do you mean by that, you silly fool?" asked Mrs. Dagon, sharply. Abel stopped and looked half angry, for a moment, but immediately fell into the old strain. "I mean I'd just as lieve say it before her."
"I'd as lieve go as not, and a little rather if you'll promise to take it moderate. I should like the chaise full better than the saddle, I guess, though." Rose laughed. "I will promise to let you take it moderate. I am not afraid to go alone, if you don't want to ride. But I shouldn't fancy the chaise to-day. A good gallop is just what I want, I think."
"I'd as lieve hang myself on the nighest tree and make an end. No, my lady, if you are really my friend, let me stay here as long as I can I will never go downstairs to be seen and then give me money enough to get my trouble over unbeknown to my sister; she is all my fear.
I always know when she is thinking about her husband or child, because her face gets rigid; she looks then as she used to look after her child died, as though she didn't care what became of her and she would just as lieve kill herself as not. I don't think she will ever let herself love any one again. She has a horror of it.
