עמוד 276 - The good lookin' feller was jest liftin' of it in, and countin' over his money, when the two fellers come up with the colt. It seemed that they had had a explanation as they was comin' back; I see they had as quick as I catched sight on 'em, for they was a walkin' one on one side of the road, and the other on the other, most tight up to the fence. They was most dead the colt had run 'em so, and it did seem as if their faces couldn't look no redder nor more madder than they did as we catched sight...
עמוד 274 - ... git a chance to put in a word age ways for Josiah. "His sewin' machines are utterly worthless; he haint never sold one yet ; he cant. His character has got out — folks know him. There was a lady tellin' me the other day that her machine she bought of him, all fell to pieces in less than twenty-four hours after she bought it ; fell onto her infant, a sweet little babe, and crippled it for life. I see your husband is havin' a hard time of it with that colt. I will jest hitch my horse here to...
עמוד 307 - Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth ; and from thy face shall I be hid ; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth ; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
עמוד 266 - as it happens, I guess I have got one out here in the wagon. I believe I threw one into the bottom of the wagon this mornin', as I was a comin' down by here on business. I am glad now I did, for it always makes me feel ugly to see a Methodist imposed upon. Josiah came into the house in a few minutes, and I told him about it, and says I : " How lucky it is Josiah, that we found out about organs before it was too late.
עמוד 268 - That villain haint been a tryin' to get one of them organs off onto you, has he?" says he. "What is the trouble with 'em?" says I, in a awestruck tone, for he looked bad. "Why," says he, "there is a heavy mortgage on every one of his organs. If you bought one of him, and paid for it, it would be liable to be took away from you any minute when you was right in the middle of a tune, leavin' you a settin' on the stool; and you would lose every cent of your money.
עמוד 276 - How much is your machine?" says Josiah. "75 dollars." "Can't you," says Josiah, "because I look so much like your old father, or because I am a Methodist, or because my wife's mother used to live neighbor to your grandmother — let me have it for 25 dollars ?" The feller got up on his wagon, and turned his machine round so we could see it plain — it was a beauty — and says he: "You see this machine, sir ; I think it is the best one made, although there is no great difference between this and...
עמוד 275 - The good lookin' chap see all through it in a minute, and he broke out into a laugh it would have done your soul good to hear, it was so clear and hearty, and honest. But he didn't say a word ; he drove out to go by us, and we see then that he had a sewin' machine in the buggy. "Are you a agent?" says Josiah. "Yes," says he. "What sort of a machine is this here?" says Josiah, liftin' up the cloth from the machine in front of him.
עמוד 84 - ... dirge; and when the foreman laid upon the table the fatal brass unicorn, the muffled sound seemed ominous as the grating of a coffin lowered upon the cross bars of a gaping grave. As the roll was called, each man rose, and answered in a low but distinct tone. Then the clerk of the court asked: "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon your verdict?" "We have,
עמוד 267 - em at all; hear that," says he, goin' up and strikin' the very top note. It did sound flat enough. Says I, "There must be more music in it than that, though I haint no judge at all." "Well, hear that, then," and he went and struck the very bottom note. "You see just what it is, from top to bottom. But it haint its total lack of music that makes me despise pianos so, it is because they are so dangerous.
עמוד 271 - I'll tell you," says he, in a whisper — for fear some on 'em was prowlin' round the house yet — "we will git up before light to-morrow mornin', and go to Jonesville and buy a organ right out." I fell in with the idee, and we started for Jonesville the next mornin'. We got there jest after the break of day, and bought it of the man to the breakfast table. Says Josiah to me afterwards, as we was goin...
