Excerpt from Uncle Terry a Story of the Maine Coast
"It"s goin" to be a nasty night," said Uncle Terry, coming in from the shed and dumping an armful of wood in the box behind the kitchen stove, "an" the combers is just a-humpin" over White Hoss Ledge, an" the spray"s flyin" half way up the lighthouse."
"The Lord-a-massy help any poor soul that goes ashore to-night," responded a portly, white-haired woman beside the stove, as a monster wave made the little dwelling tremble.
Uncle Terry took off his dripping sou"wester and coat, and, hanging them over the wood box, went to the sink and began pumping a basin of water.
"Better have some warm, Silas," said the woman, taking the steaming kettle from the stove and following him; "it"s more comfortin"."
