"Does she?" exclaimed Mrs. Peakslow, surprised into sudden tears. " I wouldn't 'a' believed that ! Must be she 'sa good gal. Truth is, Zeph had n't no notion o' hurtin' on her. It 's re'ly troubled me, — it 's troubled all on us, though I don't s'pose her folks '11 believe it." And Mrs. Peakslow, not finding it convenient to get at...

" " Said none but a fool or a scoundrel would ca'cHate he could hang ontew a piece o' prop'ty that had been stole, or traded for what had been stole. Talked, of course, just t' other way from what he did when he talked to you. Truckman did n't mind his gab, but when he was satisfied the hoss he put away had been stole, he guv up Peakslow's, and the fifteen dollars to boot. Now how in the name of seven kingdoms Peakslow 's gwine to turn it about...
Σελίδα 143 - Vinnie pictured to herself a youth of precious qualities and great promise, and asked : " Where is Radcliff now ? " " He is not with us just at present. He is of age and his own master ; and though we make a home for him, he's away a good deal." " What is his business ?" " He has no fixed pursuit. He is, in short, a gentleman at large.
Σελίδα 240 - ve promised Vinnie not to meddle with him." Then, on the way home, Rufe surprised Jack by telling him how Vinnie had made acquaintance with the Peakslow family, and how Mrs. Peakslow, taking advantage of her husband's absence from home, had called on the Bcttersons, under pretence of returning Vinnie's box of salve. Mr. Betterson had not yet come to the house ; and Jack, having hitched Snowfoot to an oak-tree, and told of his business with the Wiggetts, asked Vinnie and her sister if they would not...
Σελίδα 150 - And I like them. They do all they can for me. Rufus even helped me about the washing,- — pounded and wrung out the clothes. You must stay to dinner to-day." " I think I may have to," said Jack ; "for my horse has n't come back from Chicago yet, and I don't mean to go home without him." When he went out he found the boys waiting, and accepted a seat with Wad and Link on a board placed across two of the tubs. Rufe walked by the cattle's horns ; while in the third tub sat Chokie. " You can't sit...
Σελίδα 137 - That will make things so much easier and pleasanter for all of us ! " The potatoes and corn were got with a cheerful alacrity which quite astonished Rufe's mother and sisters. The inertia of a large body being thus overcome, that well-known property of matter tended to keep Rufus still in motion ; and while Vinnie, with Lill's help, was getting the dinner ready, he might have been seen approaching the wood-pile with an eye to business. " See here, Wad ! This wood is pretty dry now ; don't you think...
Σελίδα 241 - she said, " I wish you would give Mrs. Peakslow one, too." "I would, certainly," said Jack; "but" (his pride coming up) "would n't it look as if I was anxious to make my peace with Peakslow ? " " Never mind that ; I think even he will appreciate the kindness," said Vinnie. " I wish you would ! " " I will — to please you," said Jack. " This afternoon, if I have time." And he went to the buggy for his compass. He fumbled in the blanket under the seat, looked before and behind, and uttered an exclamation....
Σελίδα 196 - 11 go to-night and give 'em such a dose in their well, that they won't want any water from it for the next two months ! I know where there 'sa dead rabbit. The Peakslows don't get the start of us ! " " I don't see but that one of the boys will have to go to Mr. Wiggett's for water," said poor Caroline, bemoaning her troubles.
Σελίδα 133 - YOUNG SURVEYOR. BY JT TROWBRIDGE. CHAPTER XVIII. VINNIE'S NEW BROOM. RETURNING from his interview with Mr. Peakslow, Jack drove up on the roadside before the "castle," asked Rufe to hold the horse a minute, and ran to the door to bid Vinnie good-by. "Here, Link!" Rufe called, "stand by this horse ! " " I can't," answered Link from the wood-pile. " I 've got to get some wood, to make a fire, to heat some water, to dip the chickens, to loosen their feathers, and then to cook 'em for dinner.
Σελίδα 233 - Well, give me a smile now and then ; don't be so cross with a feller," said Rad. " You don't show me very much respect." " It is n't my fault ; I should be glad to show you more." Such was about the usual amount of satisfaction Radcliff got from his talk with Vinnie. She was always " up to him," as the boys said. When he walked off, and found them laughing at his discomfiture, he laughed too, with a fresh quid in his cheek, and his head on one side, but with something not altogether happy in his...
