"Where is he?" I shouted. "You hain't lost him, have you?" Bill stood for quite a while chewing tobacco, and scratching his head. "Where is he?" I yelled. "Belay bellering," said Bill.
I seen him not more'n an hour ago." "Danny seen it all," says Elmira. Mis' Alexander turned to me, and wants to know what happened and how it happened and where it happened. But I don't want to say nothing about that cistern.

We took a short cut through a yard, piled over a fence and come out into another road, and up at the head of it was a crowd of folks men and women and children and dogs. "Stop thief!"
