But the local characters gae Sandy a better chance, an', I ashure you, he took full advantage o't. He gae a lang laberlethan aboot some o' the pictures keep me, if he'd carried on like yon at ilky picture, he wudna been dune when the forenune bells wudda been ringin' for the kirk next day.
Daniel looked and chuckled. 'That comes o' ringin' t' fire-bell, said he to himself; 'it were shame for it to be tellin' a lie, poor oud story-teller. Daniel's unusually late absence from home disturbed Bell and Sylvia not a little. He was generally at home between eight and nine on market days.
You know, Rody," he proceeded, "it was Dalton that murdhered him; mind that but you're a coward at heart; as for myself there's nothing troubles me but that Tobaccy-Box; but you know nothing about that; may the divil confound me, at any rate, for not destroyin' it! an' that ould sthrap, Nelly, suspects something; for she's always ringin Providence into my ears; but if I had that box destroyed, I'd disregard Providence; if there is a Providence."
The bell rang for the third time. "Ay! ay! ring awa'! I doot yon young gentleman's little better than a belly-god there's a scandalous haste to comfort the carnal part o' him in a' this ringin'! He knows naething o' wine," added Mr. Bishopriggs, on whose mind Arnold's discovery of the watered sherry still dwelt unpleasantly.
Had the reins round my neck, not expectin' visitors, when them hornets come at me and the hoss without even ringin' the bell. That team drug me quite a spell afore I got loose. When I got enough dirt out of my mouth so as I could holler, I set to and said what I thought." "Cussed the hosses and the doggone ole plough and them hornets and everything!" exclaimed Pete.
'I'm on the track nine years. "'What are you doing here? he says. "'Ruled off, I says. "'Hm-m! he says. 'What for? "'Ringin', I says. "'You seem to run to that sort of thing, he says. 'What's your name? he asks. "'Blister Jones, I says. "'Delightful! he says. 'I'm glad I met you. Who has this remarkable horse? "'Peewee Simpson, I says. "'Equally delightful!
"'Say your own part av ut, then, Terence, darlin', sez she; 'for begad I'm thinkin' I've said too much or too little for an honest girl, an' wid that she put her arms round my neck an' kissed me. "'There's no more to be said afther that, sez I, kissin' her back again Oh the mane scutt that I was, my head ringin' wid Dinah Shadd!
She give a little cry when I handed it to her, and run into the house, most like her old self. I went on out to the barn to put up my horse, thinkin' maybe it was goin' to be alright after all; but pretty soon, I heard a scream and then a laugh. 'Fore God, sir, that laugh's a ringin' in my ears yet.
At the northwest corner of the hospital fence she paused, looked cheerfully toward her own cottage, but a few blocks away, then slowly walked on in that direction, the child toddling at her side. "What is the bells ringin' for, mamma?" asked the little one. "It ain't Sunday." "It's Thanksgiving Day, and we usually go to church on that day," answered the mother, slowly. "What is Thanksgiving Day?"
I am at the Lady Louise. You may call for me there about eight. Good-by. Don't be late, Gentlemen." And with that she does the abrupt flit, leavin' us gawpin' at each other stupid. "Much obliged, Steele," says I, "for ringin' me in on this nutty reunion of yours. Say, J. B., you got a head like a tack, you have! Have a heart, can't you?"
