Cards Term That will do—take care, child—don't you make my head ache Definition Well, my dear Marie, here we are at last. The wanderers have arrived, you see. Allow me to present my cousin, Miss Ophelia, who is about to undertake the office of our housekeeper. Term Yes, it is a pretty place, though it looks rather old and heathenish to me. Definition Tom, my boy, this seems to suit you? Term Yes, mas'r St. Clare, it looks about the right thing. Definition See here, Marie, I've brought you a coachman, at last, to order. I tell you, he is a regular hearse for blackness and sobriety, and will drive you like a funeral, if you wish. Open your eyes, now, and look at him. Now, don't say I never think about you when I'm gone. Term I know he'll get drunk. Definition Oh! no he won't. He's warranted a pious and sober article. Term Well, I hope he may turn out well; it's more than I expect, though. Definition Have you no curiosity to learn how and where I picked up Tom? Term Uncle Tom papa; that's his name. Definition Right, my little sunbeam! Term Please, mas'r, that ain't no 'casion to say nothing bout me. Definition You are too modest, my modern Hannibal. Do you know, Marie, that our little Eva took a fancy to Uncle Tom—whom we met on board the steamboat—and persuaded me to buy him. Term YOURS IS THE FIRST LINE Definition There, Tom, are the bills, and the money to liquidate them. Term Yes, mas'r. Definition Well, Tom, what are you waiting for? Isn't all right there? Term I'm fraid not, mas'r. Definition Why, Tom, what's the matter? You look as solemn as a coffin. Term I feel very bad, mas'r. I allays have thought that mas'r would be good to everybody. Definition Well, Tom, haven't I been? Come, now, what do you want? There's something you haven't got, I suppose, and this is the preface. Term Mas'r allays been good to me. I haven't nothing to complain of on that head; but there is one that mas'r isn't good to. Definition Why, Tom, what's got into you? Speak out—what do you mean? Term Last night, between one and two, I thought so. I studied upon the matter then—mas'r isn't good to himself. Definition Ah! now I understand; you allude to the state in which I came home last night. Well, to tell the truth, I was slightly elevated—a little more champagne on board than I could comfortably carry. That's all, isn't it? Term The good book says “it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder,” my dear mas'r. Definition You poor, silly fool! I'm not worth crying over. Term St. Clare! St. Clare! Definition Take Topsy Term (sees tom) Definition Tom—poor fellow! Term Well, mas'r? Definition I have received my death wound. Term Oh, no, no, mas'r! Definition I feel that I am dying—Tom, pray! Term I do, pray, mas'r! I do pray! Definition Tom, one thing preys upon my mind—I have forgotten to sign your freedom papers, What will become of you when I am gone? Term Don't think of that, mas'r. Definition I was wrong, Tom, very wrong, to neglect it. I may be the cause of much suffering to you hereafter. Marie, my wife—she—oh!— Term His mind is wandering. Definition No! it is coming home at last! at last! at last! Eva, I come!
