213. lappuse - Mother, may I go out to swim?" "Yes, my darling daughter. Hang your clothes on a hickory limb But don't go near the water.
93. lappuse - ONG about the time me an' Ed was just gettin' on friendly relations with our 'teens, a young Methodist preacher just out from England got stationed on the Milton circuit an' took the notion of holdin' protracted meetin' in the little red schoolhouse. These revival services was a big event in the neighborhood in them days an' be yet, I've no doubt. You know, we never had much of public amusement or excitement, and a winter without a protracted meetin
1. lappuse - When me an' Ed an' Jane was just little fellers (I was two years older than Ed, and Ed was two years older than Jane), we didn't have the fancy toys to amuse ourselves with that children have now-days.
103. lappuse - em ! ! " " Ed," says I, " stop cussin'. You got religion." " I ain't got no religion ! Dum religion ! " he howls. "You're a backslider," says I, nippin' a long, ugly thistle from the calf of his leg.
36. lappuse - They had all kinds of games — good old games they was — that took the bashfulness out of a feller ; and the schoolmarm went into it, blushin' but happy. Long about 'leven o'clock the older folks began to leave for home, and I saw Ed goin' into the big dinin' room with his fiddle under his arm.
98. lappuse - ... Ed went forward an' left me by the stove I'd be looked on as an outcast sinner, and Ed 'ud crow over me like sixty if he got religion an' I didn't. But matters changed in my favor the next night. When the call to come forward came from the young preacher, Ed was pale as a sheet, and didn't stir. " I thought you was goin' for'ard ? " says I in a whisper. He chawed a sliver, but didn't say a word. " Ain't you goin' to git religion ? " says I, nudgin
33. lappuse - Jane saw us goin' and comin' from these parties, and as her cousin Tish used to tell her everything, she knew we was goin' to dances, an' that I took Tish every time we could fix up a yarn that would deceive the latter's father. Mary Jane got restless after a bit, seein' so much fun goin' on under her nose an
96. lappuse - Well, this fall, long comes the young English preacher to hold protracted meetin', and he was the most earnest young feller you ever see. He had the "penitentiary" bench full of "convicts" the first week, as old Dan. the French tailor, used to say. Me an' Ed an' a few more boys set back by the stove an' made no move, but we could feel that the spirit or somethin' was workin
93. lappuse - ... These revival services was a big event in the neighborhood in them days an' be yet, I've no doubt. You know, we never had much of public amusement or excitement, and a winter without a protracted meetin' was considered dull. The young folks 'specially enjoyed such a meetin', 'cause it was a place to go of a night, and what with the queer things that happened an' the funny experiences told by the converted, it stood us in place of a theatre. Father was a natural leader at such times, and as we...
6. lappuse - The steer trotted fine, and we was havin' a big time, when it occurred to Ed that this was too much fun to be enjoyed by just us three, so I hauled up at a neighbor's and Ed went in to get a boy and girl he had, and who was about our age. Pretty soon they came out, muffled up well, and their father with 'em. He looked our rig over with a grin on his face, and then he looked at the steer. His face grew solemn at once. "Why, boys...
