Henry shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know. Unless One Ear gnawed 'm loose. He couldn't a-done it himself, that's sure." "The darned cuss." Bill spoke gravely and slowly, with no hint of the anger that was raging within. "Jes' because he couldn't chew himself loose, he chews Spanker loose."
An', to eat into the little room there was, there was piles of manure just thrown outa the barn an' not hauled away yet. But I wasn't lettin' on nothin'. The driver gave me the lines, an' I could see he was grinnin', sure I'd make a mess of it. I bet he couldn't a-done it himself.

"Why, they was four rounds I was in dreamland all the time... only I kept on my feet an' fought, or took the count to eight an' got up, an' stalled an' covered an' whanged away.

"He looked me all over I tell you I was pretty ragged; nothin' but a shirt and pants on, and they was almighty tore up, especially where most everybody wants to be covered and Bill was no better.

"Now a-done do, Arthur Alce" dropping in her merriment into the lower idiom of the Marsh "a-done do with your croaking and your stroking both.

And that's where my father wasn't crazy. He'd a-done it."
"This gentleman has complained, and you must stop," said the officer. They all turned on Livingstone with sudden hate. "Arr-oh-h!" they snarled in concert. "We ain't a-hurtin' him! What's he got to do wid us anyhow!" One more apt archer than the rest, shouted, "He ain't no gentleman a gentleman don't never interfere wid poor little boys what ain't a-done him no harm!"
We've just got to face things. You've got to live. How?" "Well, then," said Mary Warren, suddenly rising, her hands to her hot cheeks, "well, then and what then?
