IN the morning we went up to the village and bought a wire rat-trap and fetched it down, and unstopped the best rat-hole, and in about an hour we had fifteen of the bulliest kind of ones; and then we took it and put it in a safe place under Aunt Sally’s bed. But while we was gone for spiders little Thomas Franklin Benjamin Jefferson Elexander Phelps found it there, and opened the door of it to see if the rats would come out, and they did; and Aunt Sally she come in, and when we got back she was a-standing on top of the bed raising Cain, and the rats was doing what they could to keep off the dull times for her. So she took and dusted us both with the hickry, and we was as much as two hours catching another fifteen or sixteen, drat that meddlesome cub, and they warn’t the likeliest, nuther, because the first haul was the pick of the flock. I never see a likelier lot of rats than what that first haul was.
We got a splendid stock of sorted spiders, and bugs, and frogs,
and caterpillars, and one thing or another; and we like to got a
hornet’s nest, but we didn’t. The family was at home.
We didn’t give it right up, but stayed with them as long as
we could; because we allowed we’d tire them out or
they’d got to tire us out, and they done it. Then we got
allycumpain and rubbed on the places, and was pretty near all right
again, but couldn’t set down convenient. And so we went for
the snakes, and grabbed a couple of dozen garters and house-snakes,
and put them in a bag, and put it in our room, and by that time it
was supper-time, and a rattling good honest day’s work: and
hungry?—oh, no, I reckon not! And there warn’t a
blessed snake up there when we went back—we didn’t half
tie the sack, and they worked out somehow, and left. But it
didn’t matter much, because they was still on the premises
somewheres. So we judged we could get some of them again. No, there
warn’t no real scarcity of snakes about the house for a
considerable spell. You’d see them dripping from the rafters
and places every now and then; and they generly landed in your
plate, or down the back of your neck, and most of the time where
you didn’t want them. Well, they was handsome and striped,
and there warn’t no harm in a million of them; but that never
made no difference to Aunt Sally; she despised snakes, be the breed
what they might, and she couldn’t stand them no way you could
fix it; and every time one of them flopped down on her, it
didn’t make no difference what she was doing, she would just
lay that work down and light out. I never see such a woman. And you
could hear her whoop to Jericho. You couldn’t get her to take
a-holt of one of them with the tongs. And if she turned over and
found one in bed she would scramble out and lift a howl that you
would think the house was afire. She disturbed the old man so that
he said he could most wish there hadn’t ever been no snakes
created. Why, after every last snake (...)
