COURTING IN FRENCH HOLLOW
BY “SOLITAIRE.”
From J . S. Robb's Volume of Stories
just ‘published by Carey and Ilart.
*- Courtin’ i? all slick enough when
every body’s agreed, and the gal
aint got no mischief in her: but
when an extensive family, old
maids, ctoss daddy, and romantic
old mommy all want to put thur
fingers into the young uns’ dish of
sweet doin’s, and the gat’s fractious
besides, why a feller that’s yearnin’
arter matrimony is mity likely to git
his fires dampened; or burst his bi
ler.”
Thus reasoned Tom Bent to a se
lect party of river cronies, who
were seated around him upon the
boiler deck of a Mississippi steamer,
as she sped along one bright night
in June, somewhere in the neigh
borhood of Bayou Teche. The
subject was courting, and on that
particular question, Tom was con
sidered an oracle, for, besides hav
ing a strong penchant for the fair sex,
he had run many risks to ingratiate
himself in their affections. Tom
was now fast falling into the sere
and yellow leaf of bachelorism,
and although he had vowed unalter
able affection to at least one fair one
in each town between the mouth
and the rapids, lie still remained in
unblessed singleness.
“ How about that afarr of your’n
with old Fecho’s gal, in St. Louis,
Tom ? ” inquired one of the circle.
“ What, that little French gal? ”
inquired Tom with a grin ; “ well,
that thar was a salty scrape boys,
and though the laugh is agin me
thar, I’m blessed if 1 don’t give you
the sarcumstince.” So Tom squared
himself for a yarn, wet his lips
with a little corn juice, took a small
strip of Missouri weed, and “let
out.”
“ That gal of old Fecho’s was
about the pootyest creatur, for a
foreigner, I ever took a shute arter ;
her eye jest floated about in her
head like a star’s diadow on a Mis
sissippi wave, and her model was
trim as the steamer Eagle; ’sides,
her paddles were the cleanest
shaped fixins that ever propelled
anythin’ human, and her laugh
like a challenge bell on a ‘fast trip
—it could’nt help it. I danced with
her at some of the balls in French
town, and thar I gin to edge up and
talk lender at her, but she only
laughed at my sweet’nin’. After a
spell, when I cum it strong about
affeeshun, and the needeessitv of
towin’ side and side together, she
. told me that her old daddy wouldn’t
let her marry an American ! Es I
warn’t snagged at this I wouldn’t say
so. The old fell ar wur a sittin’ on
a bench smokin’ and lookin’ on at
the dance, and I jest wished him a
hot berth for a short spell. ‘Well,
Marie,’ said 1, ’ef [ melt the old man
down will you gin in?’
“ ‘Oh,’ says she, ‘you so vair
strong at vat you call coax , I shall
not know how to say one leetel no.’
“So havin’ fixed it all with her
smooth as a full freight and a June
rise, I drew up alongside of the old
fellar, just as he had cleared his
chimley for a fresh draw of his pipe.
Old Fecho had been a mountain tra
der, was strong timbered, not much
the worse fur wear, and looked wick
ed as a tree’d bear. I fired up and
generated and inch or two more
steam, and then blew off at him.
‘That’s an onconscionable slick gal
of your’n, Mounseer,’ says I, to be
begin with; and it did tickle his fancy
to have her crackled up, ’cause he
thought her creation’s finishin’ touch
—so did 1! ‘Oui, sair,’ says old
Fecho, ‘she vair fine leetle gal, von
angel wizout de ving; she is, sair,
mine only von jillc .’
“ ‘W ell, she is a s(rovger,’ answer
ed l; ‘a parfect high pressure, and
no dispute 1*
“ ‘Vat you mean by him eh ? vat
?°u call s-c-r-r-r-ouge,eh ? vat is he,
S:Ur > my l ee tle gil no vat you call
\ on c ~ r ' r -r-°uge, sair!’ and here
° ‘ ec * m went off into a mad fit,
1 jest as es I’d called her bad names.
I tried to put down his ‘safety valve’
but he would blow off his wrath ;
and workin’ himself into a parfect
freshet of rage, he swore he would
take the little gal off home and I’m
blessed es he didn’t. As soon as I
eyed the old fellar startin’ I got in
his wake and follered him, determin
ed to find out whar he located ; and
arter an eternal long windin’ thro’
one street arter another, down he
dived into French Hollow. Jest
as he wur about to enter a house
built agin the side of the hill, the
old fellar heerd my footsteps, and
turin’ round in the darkness be
shouted —
“ ‘Ah, ha! von sneak Yankee
doodel, vat call my leetel gal von
s-c-r-r-r-ouger, I shall cut vou all
up into one leetle piece vidout von
whole.’
“You know, boys, I aint easy
skeer’d, but I own up that old fellar
did kind a make me skeery; they
told sich stories about the way he
used to skin Ingins, that I gin to
think it was about best to let him
have both sides of the channel es he
wanted it, so I didn’t darr to go see
Marie for a long spell. One day I
felt a strong hankerin, and jest stroll
ed along the holler to git a glimpse
on her, and, sure enough thar she
wur, a leanin’ out the winder,
smilin’like the mornin’ sun on a
sleepin’ bayou. I sidled up to the
house, and asked her efl darr cum
and sit up with her thatevenin.’ 1
told her I was jest fritterin’ away all
to nothin’ thinkin’ on her, and a
small mite of courtin’ would spar me
up amazin’ ; and then I gin her sich
a look, that she fluttered into con
sent as easy 7 as a mockin’ tird whis
tles.
“ ‘ Oh, oui, you shall come some
time dis night, when mon pere is gone
to the cabaret ; but you must be vair
quiet as von leetle rat, vat they call
de mouse, and go vay before he
come back tode maison .”
“ In course I promised to do jest
as she said. I kissed my hand to
her, and said ciurrcvoir as the French
say for good-by, and then paddled
off to wait for night. I felt wuss
oneasy until the time arriv, and
when it did git round I gin to crawl
all over, I swar I was a little skeered.
Hows’ever, it warn’t manly to back
out now, when the gal was expec
tin’ me, so I started for the Hollow.
I think a darker night was never
mixed up and spread over this
y r earlh—you remember, Bill, the
night you steered the old Eagle
square into the bank at Midlikin’s
bend ? well, it were jest a mite dar
ker than that! A muddy run winds
along through the ravine whar the
house stands, and I wur particular
ly near fioppin’ into it several times.
A piece of candle in the window,
lightad me to whar the little gal was
a waitin’, and when I tapped at the
door below, she pattered down and
pilotled me up to the sittin’ room,
whar we sot down and took a good
look at each other. She looked poo
ty enough to tempt a feller to bite a
piece out of her. 1 had all sorts of
good things made up to say when a
chance offered, and here the chance
wur, but cuss me es I could get out
the fust mutter. Whether it wur
skecr at the idee of the old French
man, or a bilin’ up of affeeshun for
his darter that stuck my throat so
tight, I’m unable to swar, but thar I
wur, like a boat fast on a sand-bar,
mowin’ some, but makin’mity little
headway.
“‘Vat is de mattair wiz you
Mounseer ?’ said Marie; ‘ you look
vair much like de leaf in von grand
storm, all ovair wiz de shake !’
“ ‘ Well,’ says I, ‘I do feel as es 1
wur about to collapse a flue, or bust
my biler, for the fact of the matter
is Marie, they say your old daddy’s
a tiger, and it I git caught here
thar’ll be suthin’ broke—a burry in*
instead of a wedden’ ; not that I’m
tlie leest mite skeered fur myself,
but the old man might git hurt, and
l should be fretted to do any sech a
thing.’
“ ‘ Oh, mon amie , nevair be fear
fur him, he is von great, strong as
vat you call de gentlemen cow ?
von bull—but, mon Dieu ! what
shall Ido wiz you, suppose he come
eh? He vill cut you into bits all
ovair !’
“‘But my angel,’ ses I, ‘he
shan’t ketch me for I’ll streak it
like a fast boat the moment 1 hear
from his ’scape-pipe —the old man
might as well try to catch a Missis
sippi catty with a thread line, as git
his fingers on me.’ I had no soon
er said so, than bang! went the door
below, and old Fecho, juicy as a
melon, feelin’ his way up stairs,
mutterin’ like a small piece of fat
thunder, and swarin’ orfully. —
I kno wed thar warn’t much time to
spare, so I histed the winder and
backed out. Jest as I was about to
drop, Marie says to me— ‘ Oh, mon
Dicu! don’t drop into de veil!’ and
instanter shut the winder. My har
riz on eend in a moment — 'don't
drop into the well !’
“I’ll tell you what boys, a souse
into the Mississippi in ice time
warn’t half as cold as her last warn
in’ made me. It was so etarnal
dark that I couldn’t begin to tell
which side of the buildin’ I wur on,
and that wur an all important per
ticuler, fur it wur jest three stories on
one side, towards the Hollow, and
it warn’t only one on the side next
the hill—in course, all the chances
wur in favor of the well being on the
low side. I’d gin all I had then to
know which side was waitin below
fur me. I looked up, as I hung on,
to see es thar warn’t a star shinin’
somwhare, jest to give a hint of
what was below, but they’d all put
on thar nightcaps, and wouldn’t be
coaxed from under the kiver; then
Fd look below, and listen, until I
made sartin in my mind that I could
hear droppin’ of water, somewhar
übouX fifty feet below me! Old Fe
cho was a tearin’ through the room
and a rippin’ out French oaths, in
an oncommon rapid manner, and
declarin’ that he knew someone had
bin thar, fur he had bin told so.
Two or three times he appeared to
be rushin’ for the winder, and the
little gal would coax him back agin,
and then he’d cuss de Yankee
doodels,and grit his teeth most ow
daciously. Well, es I warn’t in
an oneasy situation all this time,
then I’m more than human —my
arms jest stretched out to about a
yard and a half in length, and gin
to cramp and git orful weak. I
could’nt, for the life of me, think on
any prayer I’d ever heard—at last,
jest as one hand was givin’ way its
hold, I thort of a short one I used
to say when I was a younker, and
mutterin’—‘Here I drop me down
deep, I pray the Lord my bones to
keep!’ I sot my teeth together,
drew a long breath, shut my eyes
and let go! — whiz ! — r-r-r-ip! bang !
I went —as 1 supposed —about fifty
feet; and didn’t I holler, when I lit
and rolled over, and the water sous
ed all around me ! ‘Mu rder ! oh, git
me out! oh-o-o-o, murder ! The
people came rushin’ out of their
houses, with lights, and sich another
jargon of questions as they showered
at me—askin,’ all together, who’d
bin a stabbin’ me? what wliur the
marter ? and who’d hit me. I
opened my eyes to tell ’em I’d’ fell
from the third story, and broke eve
ry bone in my body, when on look
in’ up, thar wur the old Frenchman
and his darter grinin’ out of the top
winder, about ten feet above me !
The fact wur, boys, I’d dropped
out on the / ill side of the house and
jumped down jest four fret from
whar my toes reached.—l had lit
on the edge of a water pail, and it
flowed about me when I fell over !
Arter old Fecho told them the joke,
they pretty nigh busted a larfin’ at
me. I crawled off, arter firin’ a vol
ley at old Mounseer, of the hardest
kind of cusses, and from that day to
this I han’t gone a courtin’ in French
Hollow!
At a parish examination a clergy
man asked a charity boy if he had
ever been baptised. “No sir,”
was the reply, “not as I knows of
but I’ve been waxinated.”
