clap to

“If you could get hold o 'some young feller that wa'n't sot up with an idee that he was a grown man and too big to be told, I'd just clap to and fix that little room up-stairs for him, and give him his victuals here, and we'd have some good of him; instead o' having him streakin 'off just at the minute when he'd ought to be along.”
