When we fust come here he was gittin' down with his last sickness, and we left a good place in Bartholomew county, fer his folks they kep' a-writin', 'Here's the place, Billy: this is wher' you'll find the flitter tree and the honey pond. And it wasn't never my will, but come we must; and you orto seen Fairfield then. Why, ther' wasn't nothin' but mud, so ther' wasn't.
But it don't signify nothin'; you can't cram all into one, and we hante only broke the crust yet, and p'rhaps it's as well to look afore you leap too, or you might make as big a fool of yourself, as some of the Britishers have a-writin' about us and the provinces. Oh yes, it's a great advantage havin' minister with you.
You know you did say yourself when you was a-writin' out your will, 'I'll leave you all my things, Jenny, so as you'll think o' me, an' I did think o' you," she added, beginning to sob, "I'm sure I I I even wanted to put a bit o' black crape on your clock, but mother wouldn't let me." "Well," interrupted Mrs.
It's imposbill for me to continyow, however, a-writin, as I have done violetting the rules of authography, and trampling upon the fust princepills of English grammar. When I began, I knew no better: when I'd carrid on these papers a little further, and grew accustmd to writin, I began to smel out somethink quear in my style.
Look hyeh, stranger, whut you reckon the Lawd kep' a-writin' thar on the groun' that day when them fellers was a-pesterin' him 'bout that pore woman? Don't you jes know he was a writin' 'bout sech as HIM an' Rosie? I tell ye, brother, he writ thar jes what I'm al'ays a-sayin'. Hit hain't the woman's fault.

'I've done now, said Sam, with slight embarrassment; 'I've been a-writin'. 'So I see, replied Mr. Weller. 'Not to any young 'ooman, I hope, Sammy? 'Why, it's no use a-sayin' it ain't, replied Sam; 'it's a walentine.
Susan tossed her head slightly, but admitted that the morning was good. "He's a-writin' of a letter to Grumpy," said Dan, pointing with his thumb towards the ceiling, in order to indicate that the "he" referred to was myself. "Who's Grumpy?" inquired cook, with a look of interest. "Arrah, now, don't ye know it's old Stuart?"
"Ain't it sweet!" said Grandma admiringly, when she had looked it all over. "The little precious creeter, to think of her writin' that, and all by herself too!" "You can read it as well upside down," observed Peletiah. "I know it." Grandma beamed at him. "Just think of that child a-writin' that! Who'd ever b'lieve it?"
Here Mrs Gaff advised, rather abruptly, that she had better write, "this comes hoping you're well;" but her husband objected, on the ground that the words were untrue, inasmuch as he did not care a straw whether the person to be written to was well or ill. "Is't to a man or a 'ooman we're a-writin', daddie?" inquired the youthful scribe. "It's a gentleman."
Then ag'in I'd hear him laughin' out all alone, and I'd go up and find him readin' some verses that he'd been makin'. But jest as like as not I'd go in another time, and find him cryin', but he'd wipe his eyes and try not to show it, and it was all nothin' but some more verses he'd been a-writin'. I've heerd him say that it was put down in one of them ancient books, that a man must cry, himself, if he wants to make other folks cry; but, says he, you can't make 'em neither laugh nor cry, if you don't try on them feelin's yourself before you send your work to the customers.
