Weathersome

"I veow !" said old Abe, shaking himself like a great water-dog, “ of this a'n't about the most weathersome weather I ever see! I ha'n't ben only jest outside the bar, an' my jib's as stifl' as a tin pan, and the old fo'sail took an' cracked fore an' aft afore I could get her head on so's to run in.

Parents, I've noticed, have a trick of saying their prayers through their childer on weathersome days.

A long, weathersome road it's been, and sore paw pads. It happened because—there is no telling why it happened, really.
